The website listed the map of the entire venue, not specifying each individual area of tickets available for purchase, and only offered general admission. As I had not gone to an event at this venue, this information led me to believe that general admission were the only tickets you were able to...

How would you compare Vivid Seats vs Flash Seats?
Flash Seats is worst, I purchased concert tickets thru the T-Mobile Arena website for Bruno Mars, First I had to create an account with VIVID SEATS, from what I understand "verified ticket sellers" (whatever that means?) use the services of VIVID SEATS to sell tickets, the sellers then transfer tickets to FLASH SEATS. What I don't understand is why are so many services involved?

ACCOUNTABILIY??
My tickets were delivered to my FLASH SEATS ACCOUNT (I had to create a flash seats account) Then 10 days later while my tickets were in my newly created FLASH SEATS account someone transferred my tickets from my FLASH SEATS account into someone else's FLASH SEATS account!
I have a record of who received my tickets, but FLASH SEATS couldn't tell me who transferred my tickets or who authorized the transfer my tickets? I have proof of my credit card purchase I've asked FLASH SEATS why can't they ask the person who received my tickets for their proof?
