Delta SkyMiles for Ticketmaster purchase
 

I am not in love with it because you have to go to Delta.com first every time. And I am buying in the morning on an event where time will be of the essence. But, here it is anyway.

3 miles per dollar.

Was about to buy some tix anyway so I went through it, gave me errors every time I tried to check out.

Figures, I bought $1200 in Broadway tickets last week. :mad:

T&C here: https://www.deltaticketmaster.com/terms-conditions

Of note:

• "The SkyMiles account holder must be the same as the Ticketmaster account holder in order to earn miles (Name in both accounts must match)."
• Valid for "events taking place in the United States and Canada" only.
• Valid for "Standard ticket inventory offered on ticketmaster.com"

Since it redirects to TM, I don't think you're under any disadvantage as far as getting in the queue to get your tickets at 10:00:01 am. But if I interpret the last bullet above correctly, the "standard inventory" rule may mean it can't be used with presale codes or for Amex/Citi exclusive seats.

Any idea how long it will take for the miles post?

The couple I have done posted a week or so after purchase.

Same for me, looks to me 5 business days based on some transactions that I did over three consecutive days. Miles came in three consecutive days the following week.

Yep, $1300 for me. Or was that telecharge, I get confused between them.
