My office has paper season tickets to the rodeo and we gave 4 to a client

Client was removed from our seats and the stadium because someone else had flash seats for our seats

How does this happen? Would someone have to convert our paper tickets or can someone create a fake flash seat?

It doesn't seem like both paper and flash seats should be allowed through the gate for the same seats

Story I just got is that only two of the four were converted to flash seats. Those two did not scan at the gate correctly the first three times but supposedly worked on the fourth try. I could see them gate attendant just giving them the benefit of the doubt and letting them go in.

Now I have to figure out who sold them.

What kind of business do you guys do? You wouldn't happen to want a client of the day for today would you? We are taking the kids to the livestock show and the carnival today but don't have concert tickets.

Very curious if Flash seats will make the converter's account info known if that is what happened. Seems like enough of grey area that they would just stonewall until the complainant gives up due to a loss of a few hundred bucks being a pretty small thing (to Flash seats). I fully realize this was a customer thing and could harm ability to do business in some cases.

Similar thing happened to me.

Got Texans tickets from a vendor. I them gave them to a customer.

Just before kickoff that Sunday, I get an angry phone call from the customer stuck outside the gates to NRG.

Vendor had forgotten he had previously converted them to digital and gave to someone else.

I'm still paying the price for that one.

Did you at least offer to cover his meal if he wanted to go watch the game at Chacho's?
I think that would be fair.

The four of them had a looong, pissed off drive home.

Yes!

My guess is that some dip-**** took a photo of the tickets and posted to Facebook or Instagram. Then someone came along and scanned the bar codes off the screen, converted to flash seats and sold.

Either that or the cleaning lady.

This is what I am thinking. It could have just as easily happened while the tickets were in his possession as mine.

Many years ago, before flash seats and the internet, my wife made me go to the opera. A mom and her eight year old boy were in our seats. Turned out they had the exact same seats as us for the exact same day.

Fortunately, there were open seats right next to mom and boy and that's where the opera folks put us. The little boy looked up at me and asked "Where are your opera glasses?" I replied "Where's your football?"

Almost every guy in the place was sleeping before the first act was over. Too much culture for this old East Texas boy.

Now back to regular programming ...

yikes...that sounds terrible
