AmazonLocal: $7 for $30 to use at ScoreBig.com

Amazon Local deal for ScoreBig. You get a $30 credit to use towards tickets for many different events including sports and theatre.

ScoreBig is interesting. You submit a bid for the tickets and they will either accept it or offer you a counter bid. I've used the site once and I managed to get baseball tickets for something like 40% off with a coupon. I wish I'd had this voucher then. The real catch is they don't tell you exactly where the seats are - you bid on seats in a particular price range.

This post can and should be edited by users like you :)
 
AVOID SCOREBIG AT ALL COSTS. THEY HAVE INCREASED TICKET PRICES IN THEIR SYSTEMS AND MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO USE THE CODE.

Ignore ^

The code "adam15off" can be used as well. It is an automatic 15 dollars off any event. Only bad thing is you can only use one code.

Scorebig often has coupons they post to their site and this voucher says it can' t be used with other offers. Right now HOCKEY30 is $30 off $200

00trayn 01-23-2013 06:29 AM

These vouchers are usually a great deal if you're not buying expensive tickets. I've only bought Nationals baseball game tickets on here and I've gotten 2 seats for $10-$15 TOTAL after using a $30 or $40 credit that I buy for under $10. I usually pick the 3 star seats and they're field level in the outfield.

krayziejoe 01-23-2013 07:02 AM

Do they charge anything for shipping? I see there are no fees, which is awesome.

cappy345 01-23-2013 07:13 AM

It is basically like Priceline's "Name Your Own Price", except for tickets. You pick a general "star level" of seats and make your bid.

volnation 01-23-2013 07:14 AM

this was 8 for $40 worth of tickets on amazon local a short while ago, but not bad if you didnt get that one

Thare520 01-23-2013 07:24 AM

I live in KC and I have got two 3rd row seats to the Royals in late August for $53 total. Shipping is free if I remember correctly.

I haven't received the e-mail with a link to my tickets yet (bought MLB tickets for this year and they can't be printed yet) but once I get the e-mail I should be set. At least that's what all their communication with me has stated.

That being said, their communication is excellent.

Just a heads up: These usually expire after a few months, (the last Amazon Local for Scorebig expires in July).

THIS Amazon Local voucher expires January 30th. Good deal if you have tickets in mind in the next week or so, but keep this in mind before you buy. Oops...expires 2014!! Thanks for the correction

The google offer Is good until May 9th.

While it does expire January 30th, it doesn't expire until 2014 not 2013. :)

Slobadon 01-23-2013 08:52 AM

Awesome. This made for some great Braves games last season. Glad they are keeping these promotions going. Although, if you buy more then 2 tickets, the discount gets stretched pretty thin. It would be nice to combine discounts. Makes it hard when we have a group of people tailgating, then my girl and I sit by ourselves. N41 anyway!

banan25 01-23-2013 08:58 AM

this is a good deal, i used one a month ago to see denver nuggets. this time i bought 2 (one as a gift) well worth it!

mrsmarycandice 01-23-2013 09:08 AM

I signed up for their email deal and there is a coupon for $10 off. It is probably not one time use only - SBSAVE10

gimmebargains 01-23-2013 09:09 AM

I bought one this morning through my email. I live in Portland, OR and got 2 tickets to Portland Trailblazers vs Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday March 12 for $0.00 (not including $7 that I paid to Amazon).

I chose the 1 star tickets which is a nose bleed section, but it's okay. I put the bid for $15 for each ticket which equals to $30 for 2. Don't forget to copy & paste the code, hit apply and the total is $0. $7 for 2 tickets to NBA game not too bad. :).

Xx_Westin_xX 01-23-2013 09:10 AM

Can you stack these somehow?

dersimden 01-23-2013 09:28 AM

I just used my $40 voucher last week for the last Celtics home game of the regular season. Although, I am not completely happy with the seats, I can't complain much considering I got 2 for only $18 each.

NinePoundHammer 01-23-2013 09:36 AM

I'm looking at going to an Avalanche game in Denver at the Pepsi center. It has 6-star tickets listed but when you select it nothing is highlighted on the seating map, anyone have any idea on what they are for?

Also anyone know if you can stack the voucher with the $10 first time purchase code?

Thanks.

bjsguess 01-23-2013 09:55 AM

Anyone know if they do Spring Training in AZ? Heading down there in March. I couldn't find anything on their website about it.

cantstoplooking 01-23-2013 10:06 AM

i have purchased several tickets from scorebig.com and the way you get the tickets is slightly different. your tickets can either be emailed to you or they will fedex it to you. it's up to them and not up to you.

since i got the $5 for $40 last April, i've managed to save a ton of money going to games i love. I saw clippers vs mavs earlier this month for $70 after using the coupon. and scored lower bowl seats for the clippers vs spurs on 2/21 for $110. 2 nose bleed seats for clippers vs wizards for free. HONESTLY, for basketball games at staples center, you will ALWAYS END UP WITH CORNER OR WRAP AROUND SEATS. there is no way in hell they will ever send you sideline seats. They give you false hope in thinking you'll get sideline seats, but that will never be the case.

As for hockey, since the rink is o munch longer, a 5- star seat will get you sideline view. i picked up 2 tickets to the kings vs canucks for $70 in section 102!

plus i still have 3 more coupons. NOT FOR SALE. don't ask.

cantstoplooking 01-23-2013 10:11 AM

BTW, since this deal popped up, they "jacked up" the price. the % saved went from 50% off most hockey games to 25% off. I'm looking at the 5- 6-star games for the los angeles kings. Though, i find it difficult to want to see them play since they've made 2 goals in 2 games and got outscored 8-2 in those 2 games.

lantzuh 01-23-2013 10:13 AM

HU, I would be careful if you are thinking about abusing this. I got all my accounts banned and my tix not shipped because I bought more than one voucher (ridiculous because they offer it on every single deal website.... and yet I cannot buy more than 1 on amazonlocal)

Wow... that's horrible. Is it stated anywhere in the details that its one voucher from any deal site?

Also, what did the deal sites do about the cancellations?

amazonlocal refunded me but I can imagine some deal sites not refunding / taking forever to refund. So people.. don't make multiple emails/ use multiple vouchers because they have some algorithm to make sure they don't lose money

SlickDealio 01-23-2013 10:52 AM

You might have received a code for $5 - $15 to spend on Amazon Local. Check your e-mail to see if you got one.

The pricing fluctuates based on ticket availability and changes many times a day. The Kings are popular now that hockey is back in full swing and people want to celebrate the Stanley Cup Champions, so the savings and seat availability will reflect that demand. If you're looking to find the best deals your best bet is to set up an alert so you know when tickets in your preferred seating ares are available.

Hi There,

Six star seats are the best in the house, right along the glass. They appear in brown right along the edge of the rink on the seat map so they are a bit hard to see.

Also, you can't stack coupons or vouchers on the site.

Hope this helps!

Grrrr ... no use for this outside of ST (no pro baseball within 5 hours). Do I buy now and hope that I can use it for ST or skip it and buy tickets at the gate when I get there ... decisions, decisions.

Seems impossible to have a winning bid, even when your chances are supposedly "very good". It always asks you to up your bid.

electricalbox 01-24-2013 12:56 PM

The code "adam15off" can be used as well. It is an automatic 15 dollars off any event. Only bad thing is you can only use one code.

I've bought several tickets from scorebig already. I'm just upset that you would false advertise a 4-star section or premiere seating for a staples center basketball game to be anywhere from the sideline seats to the corners (before the wrap around). I've bought tickets to 7 basketball games and ALL 7 games are at the end of those 4-star/ premiere sections. I'm not particularly pleased with my purchase at all.

BEWARE. ALL 4-STAR/ PREMIER seats AT STAPLES CENTER BOUGHT THROUGH SCOREBIG (don't know about other venues) WILL GIVE YOU THE WORST SECTIONS.

(see blue colored seating chart) 4-STAR at a laker/clipper game gets you those far FAR FAR CORNER SECTIONs. THEY TEASE YOU WITH THOSE NEAR BASELINE SEATS. NOTHING BUT A SCAM. 99.9999% of the time you will be seated in section 114, 117, 105, 108

(see red colored seating chart) PREMIER SEATING IS EVEN WORSE. YOU HAVE ALLLLLLLLL THESE SECTIONS AND SO MANY SEATS WITH BETTER SIDELINE VIEW THAT YOU'D HAVE A CHANCE OF BETTER SEATS. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. SAME OLD, SAME OLD. YOU GET THE FAR END SECTIONS. WITH THE SHITTIEST VIEWS. I HAVE 20/15 VISION BUT WHAT THE HELL CAN YOU REALLY SEE AT THE OTHER END OF THE COURT? 99.99999% OF THE TIME, YOU WILL BE SEATED IN SECTIONS 1,9, 10, 18.

I'm glad another scorebig deal has popped up here. Rather than venting my displeasure in false advertising to one single CSR, I can now let the whole community know just how big of a scam this website is.

Miami305 01-25-2013 06:08 AM

So this AmazonLocal code has been a HUGE bust.

I have had multiple bids placed on tickets that it says I have a good chance at (e.g., an event that has listed tickets for $80 and average savings is 50%, I will bid $45, which is >50% of ticket value), I always end up not getting the tickets when I use my Amazon code.

In other words, it sure looks like ScoreBig has an algorithm in their system that jacks up the price so that they don't lose a single penny.

I will be contacting Amazon to complain, and expect a refund on my purchase. Anyone want to bet that Morgan from ScoreBig.com will not make an appearance anymore in this thread to discuss this?

Clashed 01-25-2013 08:59 AM

i love Scorebig, i don't know what the guy 2 posts above is ranting about.

Best way to use Scorebig is have Stubhub open in another window and see what the going rate is for an event and then bid accordingly

MaddieMoola 01-27-2013 03:25 PM

Looked at the site. This bidding thing is a waste of time. They should just mark it up a certain percentage and be done with it. It's not like the hotel industry...if you want to attend an event you want to attend. If you have to waste time bidding and you can't afford it anyway, you just won't go.

Not like a hotel--if you're in a city and you need a place to stay--you'll probably bid until you get a hotel.

Warriors are making the playoffs, this could be a good deal to see them. Can you buy 1 voucher each from different Amazon accounts (or gift them to yourself) and then stack them? Or you can only use one voucher per transaction? Is this voucher combinable with coupon codes?

One voucher per transaction, and the vouchers are not combinable w/coupon codes. They are combinable w/referral or other credits that might have been applied to your account.

JJSP 01-29-2013 12:27 AM

I've had nothing but good experiences. Let's be honest, Lakers season ticket holders are going to sell them on Stubhub or Craigslist where they can get top dollar. You're not likely to find court side seats on a fairly lesser known site.

I've used them for numerous Angels and Dodger games and consistently have gotten solid seats at far below retail (and without service fees).

endershadow 01-29-2013 12:44 AM

Site was awesome for me last year on Angel tickets. If you want good seats, bid on the top stars. Increment your bid every 24 hours. And don't users set the prices? Of course they'll fluctuate.

I bought field level seats for well below stubhub...

So you can't actually use two vouchers if you are buying 2 tickets. In order for you to maximize the discount, you have to buy single tickets separately. Of course this does not mean that you and your friend will be seated next to each other.

I guess at first sign-up, Scorebig will give you a signup bonus credit and that's the only time you can combine this with it to get more discount.
