My wife told me one morning that she wanted to see The Nutcracker in Seattle, and I made the mistake of going online before I had enough coffee. The first link that came up on a Google search was Ticketnetwork.com, and I clicked on it without paying attention. I purchased two tickets, only to find out that I could have chosen my seats and paid a LOT less by going directly to the venue's website. They may be good for sold-out events, but be sure to check your options before you buy, because there are no refunds unless the event is cancelled.
