 What's up guys welcome back. I know a lot of you like to buy tickets using stub hub So today I want to make you buy tickets on stub hub like a pro Let's get into it. Most important thing is definitely to use the stub hub app Reason I say that is because there are a lot of features on the app that are Semi-integrated or mostly integrated into the web page But getting to use all those features on the website isn't as easy or as intuitive as you may think So definitely use the app to begin your search. So with that being said Let's dive into it and make you a stub hub ticket buying pro So first off when you're going into actually finding the different events you want What you can try and do is actually try and type out the actual team name or the event name that in full And then what you can do from there is once it actually lists up the different options You can actually dive into a filtered version of that specific team So for example, if you're looking for the Ottawa senators You can go ahead and type in you know Ottawa senators and you'll get a few different listing options right there And if you scroll down you'll see there's a whole bunch of different things So whatever has that tag of you know, Ottawa So for example, you can see there's all these different other types of Ottawa events But what we're looking for specifically is Ottawa senators. So what you can see right at the top I actually have a favorite it already I can go ahead click the Ottawa senators link there And what it'll do is it'll actually bring you to a filtered page with the home and away games So one great way of being able to kind of filter through and you'll get to what you need is actually Starting your search off right to make sure that you are finding what it is you want and only the things you want Now when you're actually looking for the event that you want to buy for this is where the fun really begins So when you get to the ticket-buying event page You'll see default kind of search setting set up and they usually have it under best value and a lot of times the filters That are set as best available doesn't actually mean the best available to you It's just whatever the algorithm or some of it has decided to be best available for the overall masses Just because they decided it's the best doesn't mean you think it's the best and vice versa So what I like to do is I like to search either by price or by row Price if you just want to get to the building or you want to be a specific section You don't really care about the row too much or if you want to actually get you know best seating in a specific area That's where you want to be searching by row this way We can exclude all the things we don't want to see and get right down to the nitty-gritty Specific seats that we want to buy now when you're searching by row you also generally want to be in a specific section So what you can do on the sub app is actually start clicking Individual sections to get the filters to only look in those specific areas now clicking all these different sections Can be a bit monotonous, you know click click click click click or you However fast your thumbs are moving in these days basically you can do that that one way or the other way is actually this little elliptical ellipsis The three dots click the little three dot button and what it'll do is we'll actually open up a little search bar for you It's gonna let you search by zone or by section if you click the zone button What you'll see is I actually select everything within that same type of seating class zone So whether it's you know side lines or end zones or you know end glass seats And what it's gonna do is basically just find everything that self has already kind of filtered in that same type of seating area And it'll basically lump it together and that will be your new search Now if you're in a searching area and you want to start removing specific sections within it You can actually go ahead start tapping on those on the map And it'll actually then exclude them from your search great way to be able to find exactly what it is You're looking for now when you actually opened up the specific event page You saw that it had a few filter options right then and there But if you just go ahead and okay, and they'll just disappear and now it's like oh How do I get back to only finding three seats at this price and this location and this and this and this all these different kind of Variables what you can actually go in and do is actually go through the different filter options and within there We can get into a bit more specific. So whether it's a specific number of seats Certain price point you're looking at or if it's even a specific type of ticket that you're looking for now Whether it's a mobile ticket or a hard stock ticket or something that's available instantly for download All these options are available to you and you can actually sort by them within the filter options right then and there But if you're gonna be giving a gift for Christmas sometimes It's nice to have those hard stock tickets, but unfortunately some events don't actually offer the different stop types So for example a lot of venues are now moving towards mobile ticketing And so a lot of times they're actually phasing out the hard stock traditional You can go ahead try and do a filter search on it But what you're gonna find is when you actually start doing that search you're gonna lose a lot of inventory So a lot of times you may be out of luck with trying to get specific hard stock tickets However, doesn't mean you can't try it the filters there you can go ahead turn it on turn it off very very simple now with these different filters There's one there that I think you should pay very close attention to and that is the parking pass included option a lot of times It's great when you're going to buy tickets and you see the parking price is already included into the ticket And you can get all together great one low price blah blah blah fantastic However, however, what you're gonna find though is that a lot of times tickets don't actually have parking passes included with it And so by turning on this filter your yes, you'll see some options Which are available to you which have the parking pass included already and spin out of built into that price But what's going to happen is you're actually going to lose a lot of inventory that's available to you The best way to work around this twofold First way is actually to go back and search for that event for a parking event specifically So for example with the other senators, they do have specific parking pass options as a separate event item for the same days So you can go ahead look through there But the other option the probably the more recommended option is actually not using stuff up at all Going directly to the venue seeing if they have it available online as a prepay option Or sometimes even the events will have parking available to you when you actually show up to the door So go ahead take a look and see you know play around with the filter see what is available What isn't if there are listings available which have the parking pass included at ticket price that you want Great go ahead buy those tickets if they don't though Don't fret don't feel that you're limited to only the parking pass included options available on the ticket page Now this next one is a great one for anyone who's trying to be lazy If you have a specific ticket price in mind in a specific zone you're looking for in a certain quantity What you can do is go ahead and set a ticket price alert So if you take a look in the app if you click on the top right There's a little option there click it open it up It'll open up a whole new set of options for you and what you'll see here is actually setting a ticket alert What it'll do is it will basically say okay put in your specific options that you're looking for Whether specific seating zone whether specific price and then you can go ahead hit save what's it going to do It's going to send you an email or it'll send it through a notification through the app whenever the alert hits What it's going to do is it'll actually then take a look and take its time whenever the event has tickets available At your specific price alert that you've set what it's going to do send you that alert You can go ahead and then start browsing through the different options that are there In the email it'll actually list out a few of the different options that exist Only thing with the alerts though is that because the ticket inventory is dynamic and live Just because you get an alert does not always mean that same ticket will be available when you go into the app to actually buy it Also because alerts are not instantaneous There's obviously going to be a delay and then again same thing if the alert comes in doesn't always mean the ticket's available But it is a good way to see if ticket prices are moving in a certain direction Now the last tip and probably the best tip is to never buy the ticket through the app Now you may be thinking this is so odd I went through all these different phases for searching for tickets filtering tickets trying to find them in the app Everything was there But then I say stop why do I say stop because you're not maximizing the amount of money you could be saving What do you mean?
