What should I ask the seller on SeatGeek?

A transfer through the club's official app rather than a file; the section, row and seat so you can check they exist; and, for a mobile pass link, to open it only on the phone you will bring.

What does GateCheck check on a SeatGeek ticket?

Barcode format, whether the barcode has been seen from anyone else, delivery type, that the match and seat make sense, the club's resale policy, and how tickets like it have done at the gate once fans report.

GateCheck reads a ticket the way a steward would and scores how likely it is to work at the gate. It cannot see inside a club's access-control system; it checks everything outside it. How it works · Privacy · info@gatecheck.io
