Ticketmaster resale tickets - How long for mobile ticket delivery?

[mikehn]

Im interested in possibly going to a show this weekend, but I'd like to wait till the last minute to purchase some resale tickets off Ticketmaster. At the moment, they are plentiful. Not a whole bunch of info out there that I can find. How long does it take to receive mobile delivery of tickets? Lets say I purchase the tickets at 6pm and the show starts at 8pm. What are the chances of me getting mobile delivery of my tickets by show time? Is this a crap shoot or what?

For Ticketmaster resale you should receive mobile delivery within a minute.

Not sure about Seat Geek, Stub Hub or other sites.

Done it several times (sporting events) and it should be available almost immediately. It should give a ticket with a time-dependent rotating code, so it's not possible to just take a photo/screenshot of it and use the code.

That's for direct resale from TicketMaster. If you do it through another method, they're obligated to arrange the transfer, although there's the possibility of something going wrong, although I believe they're supposed to have some sort of safeguards.
