Glenn Appell - Chiropractor - Scottsdale, AZ I really appreciate this app a lot! I've used it twice in less than a week. Last week for U2 tickets and this week for Boyz || Men tickets. It's so much more convenient to purchase tickets through the eSeats app on my iPhone than to have to log on to Ticketmaster through a computer, then type in a squiggly line only to find the tickets you want aren't available. Not to mention the customer service is great! The follow up phone calls to make sure you received your tickets. I greatly appreciate that!
