Barry's Tickets Review

Sure, Barry’s Tickets may sell concert tickets and theater tickets (including to L.A. theaters), but it's clear from page 1 that sports is this sites bread and butter. In fact, you can browse listings by team for each of the major leagues. Their "home team" is the Lakers, with 4 offices in that area, including a pick-up site right next door to Staples Center and a reputation for being the leader in selling secondary-market Lakers tickets for over 20 years.

The site is attractive and easy to navigate, which makes a big difference when you're scrambling for tickets to a sold out event. BarrysTickets has been in business since 1984 and is a member of the Better Business Bureau and the National Association of Ticket Brokers (NATB).
