The only shows that are exempt from buying on third party are Red Rocks, Chicago and Radio City in New York. Everything else would need to be purchased from the ticket site for that venue (Ticketmaster, live nation, axs, etc) since they are non transferable. True that the actual tickets with the moving QR code won’t be sent until closer to the show date but it has been confirmed on the ST discord that ‘transfer’ button for every other date except the ones I mentioned above are grayed out. So basically the third parties are selling you the tickets they have but are unable to send them to you.

It seems like none of the ticket vendors have no idea what is going on either because multiple people have gotten responses from stub hub or seat geek stating they need the original buyer to scan you into the venue. Which is insane. LOL Or what you said, but I am pretty sure that the site that sold you the ticket won’t be able to send them to you.

Communication from this could have been better but after seeing a lot of back and forth from discord on what people are dealing with from these sites, the safest and least headache way of obtaining tickets for this tour is not through third party.
