Wedding Ticket Registry

Has anyone seen or used the website Wedding Ticket Registry? We've lived together for several years and have most household items. We are planning to register for a few new things and a few things we want to upgrade. Beyond that, I was trying to think of other gifts we would really enjoy, and one idea I had was tickets to events/sports/etc. I found the "Wedding Ticket Registry" website. They claim they do not charge an extra fee.

Wondering if it's legit and what peoples reactions would be if they saw things like tickets on a registry?

I would never buy someone tickets to an event, but that's just me. If I don't buy a gift, I give cash - so you could just take the cash you'll likely get and search around for tickets if that's what you want.

I would definitely more than side-eye event tickets on a registry. Wedding gifts are supposed to go toward the bride and groom's futures together, not toward fleeting entertainments. TBH, it might actually spur me toward buying you a physical gift, rather than even giving cash, just because I'd be peeved that you're declaring that you'd be spending the gift on this, rather than on something like your mortgage, home repairs, or retirement fund.

Sorry but this is tacky.

I'm going to have to disagree with PPs.  I don't see how registering for tickets would be rude or tacky.  Traditionally, people register for things they will use together for a while, but plenty of people register for wine or "of the month" clubs.  People put cooking classes and dance classes on registries.  At least it is something the couple will use together, and they are registering for the actual thing.  It's not like she wants to register for gift cards to ticketmaster or for money to use toward tickets.

On the other hand, I'd have some logistical issues with this.  What happens if you get tickets to a game but then you can't go?  You can't exchange or return tickets, and you really don't want to find yourself hawking someone's wedding gift on ebay.  I'd also be concerned about the cost.  In my experience, a pair of game or concert tickets are usually quite a bit more expensive than what most people spend on a wedding gift.  Unless you are planning on putting minor leage baseball games, I would be really concerned that everything would be $100+.  

OP, I don't know anything about the site itself, and that would make me nervous.  I would start with BBB and googling the name with reviews to see if you can find something.  There are a lot of ticket counterfeiter scams out there.

Personally, I would never use this kind of registry nor would I make a purchase from it.

Personally, this type of registry makes me feel icky.  Wedding gifts are supposed to be about gifting the couple things that help them start their new married life together... tickets to the next Coldplay show don't really fall into this category for me.
