Absolute lifesavers! We left our phone in a cab late at night and tracked it to the Bronx. We took another cab there, found the car with our phone inside -- but no driver, and learned the cab company didn't open until morning. We were flying back to Canada the next day and were panicking. This company responded immediately and went straight to the location. Carlos stayed with the car until the driver came out and kept us updated, took photos, and helped ensure we got our phone back in time. Professional, kind, fast, and truly above and beyond. Highly recommend! So greatful!! certainly not the traditional means of this service but we thought outside the box and they were amazing! Thank you Thank you Thank you! read more

This service is reliable, professional, and better than the rest. Easy website, easy booking process with so much patient help with questions and options and understanding the process (especially when it was new to me). Better priced than anyone else I saw. Was communicative through every step during the wait and purchase. Professional and thorough. read more

Our "line dude" Lenore was fabulous. Communicative, clear, really nice energy. Hard to explain what a huge time saving thing this is-- I was able to travel in from out of town while Lenore waited on a 2:45 minute longgg line. Once we arrived, we only had 6 minutes remaining until admission! Extraordinarily valuable and reasonably priced too! read more

Met Robert in line after my 8th time trying to get the Super Blue Moon watch and after chatting decided to hire them to stand in line and get a real chance to getting the watch. Cannot recommend them more. Honest, communicative, effective and fair when in comes to pricing. Already plotting to see what else can I use them for:) Thank you Robert and I'm sure we'll do business again. read more

Best in the industry! I've worked with maybe 30-40 assorted bureaucratic task-completers and appointment/line-interactors across 3 states in the past year and Same Ole by far offers most professional execution and best value. Stick with these people. read more

Whoever answered the phone was rude and ended up blocking my number. I said I was worried about sending a Zelle to a random number with zero assurances. Give yourself peace of mind and just book through task rabbit, they're legit and cheaper. read more

Used SOLD for getting a table at Lucali. Robert re-assured me there would be no problems or issue getting the table I requested! This service saved me at least a few hours of time! Worth the charge, so you don't have to do the waiting. Robert assigned a guy named Jay to wait on the Lucali BK line from 215pm-415pm. Our guy was 6th in line on a sunny, beautiful Sunday afternoon. The line was wrapped around the corner when I arrived at 415pm. At first, I didn't know who our line sitter was. So I just walked up near the front of the line and hostess, and I just listened for whoever made the reservation for me, and when I realized who the line sitter was, he requested the correct table time for me and my party and there was no problem. After he made the resy, I introduced myself and told him thanks for his service, and that it saved me so much time. Will definitely use SOLD again for places such as Lucali! read more

Wonderful service, can't recommend enough! Booking was easy, the team (especially the owner, Robert) were professional, flexible and responsive throughout. I had to make two changes after my initial booking and they were flexible throughout the process, while responding quickly to my requests. Robert was kind and professional throughout the entire exchange. Also think their rates are very reasonably priced, and they are willing to start at early hours. The pricing and time flexibility was what led me to book them, instead of Task Rabbit which was more expensive and didn't offer the timing flexibility I needed. Would definitely use Same Ole Lines again! read more

OMG - THESE GUYS SAVED THE DAY! I have never written a review on Yelp before (who does?!) but will write 1000 reviews just for Same Ole Line Dudes. My boyfriend and I were visiting NYC & wanted to see last minute broadway without paying a high fee. Specifically, we wanted to see Merrily We Roll Along, which if you look at prices online - nosebleeds are going for $400 before fees. Insanely hard show to get into! We opted for the cancellation line, where you wait an hour before the show starts for any last-minute cancelled tickets. The box office guy the day before told us this was a good option and as long as we got there 1 hour before the show and were the first or second in line, we'd likely get tickets. However, we also wanted to get dinner before the show, so I (stupidly) used TaskRabbit to have someone wait in line. I booked this TaskRabbit a day prior and the person accepted the task 10am that day of the show. He would have been waiting in line from 5pm - 7pm. At 4:30pm, you know this is coming - the TaskRabbit cancelled. No explanation, no nothing. Which was beyond inconvenient and frustrating because we were already out and about/nowhere near the theatre. To make matters worse, there were no other TaskRabbits available for anything last minute (I totally understand someone not being able to take a last minute task 30 minutes before the task starts, but WHY would taskrabbit allow the tasker to accept HOURS before and CANCEL minutes before the task start time?! bananas.) So, hastily and desperately, I turned to Google search and found Same Ole Line Dudes. Robert texted me back immediately, texted me a picture of the CitiBike he was literally about to take, and I sent payment and prayed I didn't make a mistake. (little did I know they are written up in the New Yorker and trusted by all news organizations to wait in line for much more serious/important things...! THEY ARE THE REAL DEAL). Robert (yes, like the robert in the new yorker photo) gets to the theatre within 15 minutes and waits in line for us for 1 hour. He texted me picture of him there too (with their cute lil hat!! love the merch). Anyway, we were able to finish dinner, enjoy ourselves, and eventually make our way down to the theatre. 30 minutes before the show, we got 2 row G tickets for MUCH less than face value through the cancellation line, all because of Robert and Same Ole Line Dudes. Truly, they were so communicative throughout the process and it made an incredibly stressful and shitty situation into a dream come true. I will literally be using them anytime I return to NYC.THANK YOU ROBERT! AND KARMA WILL GET YOU TASKRABBIT read more

Highly recommend using this service if you need tickets! Our line sitters got to Central Park at 6 and snagged our Shakespeare in the park tickets while we were sight seeing. So worth it. Super professional and flexible. Thank you Marcus for setting it up Tristan for getting/delivering our tickets and Robert for the great correspondence. We'll be recommending you to our traveling friends and using you again in the future! read more

I used the Same Ole Line Dudes for the first time this week and I can't even find the words to describe how incredible they are! First of all such a genius idea. I texted them and spoke to Marcus who set everything up for me. He was very pleasant and helpful. I asked if I could speak to him over the phone and he was prompt to call me to discuss the details of my event. He kept me updated through out the whole process until he assigned me someone. He assigned Robert (the owner) as my line stander. This was for a general admission standing concert which I wanted to be in the front of. I was driving from Boston day of to attend the show and had to go to work first in the morning. The feeling of being relaxed all day and not having to stress about working or my ETA to the venue to line up was life changing! This was for my all time favorite artist and I didn't have to have a single worry! Once Robert arrived he sent me a photo and told me my spot in line (I was first). When I arrived to switch places he was SO SWEET! We talked for a bit before he left and he was so so wonderful. I had also referred two of my friends to them for this same event so between us we had three line standers there (Robert, Mary, and Debbie) who were all great. We'll all be using them again for sure. We already have plans to use them again 3 times this fall for more concerts in NYC. I HIGHLY recommend using this company. They have great customer service and pricing is very fair. This was one of the best nights of my life. It's two days later and I'm so happy I can't stop thinking about how incredible the event was and how smooth everything went. Thank you so much!!!! read more

Robert and his team deliver an exceptional service! His team was quick to get someone assigned and were in touch with updates throughout the day. Highly recommend! read more

My fiancé and I got stuck in NYC for the weekend due to a storm and friends suggested we see Hamilton on Broadway. Tickets are typically hard to come by and crazy expensive but a friend told us about Same Ole Line Dudes. They offered orchestra seats purchased the day of the show for not much over face value. We were a little hesitant about sending the money in advance via PayPal, but so glad we did! Both staff we worked with were very prompt & professional. They texted us a pic of their spot in line when they arrived, a pic of the tickets when they were picked up, and then even offered to deliver them to our hotel lobby for no extra charge. Lastly, the seats were AMAZING and so was the show! Legit. I would suggest this to anyone looking for tickets! read more

Same Ole Line Dudes are the best! They're easy to communicate with via text and will give you recommendations on expected wait times. I met them while waiting for a cronut and used them recently to get a ticket for SNL. I successfully got into the dress rehearsal for Chance the Rapper/ Eminem show, and am so glad I went. Their services are worth every penny. Tristan was absolutely fantastic to work with and I would definitely work with him in the future! read more

In regards to Roberts response, I was actually talking to him not a woman as he is trying to allude to. In the text he says "this is Robert" (as shown in the picture) and in his response he said "I" won't apologize for being busy instead of "we" won't apologize, which further indicates it was him. I don't take issue with them being busy and trying to prioritize. My issue is the lack of response. The first day I got no response at all. It would of been nice of them to say that since my request was further out, they would get back to me within a few days instead of not saying anything at all. And since I never got a response from them I looked into other options and once I found one I told them to cancel, "Deleted & blocked" was the response ROBERT gave me and now is trying to lie about what actually happened. I tried to book them for over a span of two days. After I told them I no longer wished to go on with the service because of their slow response time I got a nasty message in response. read more

I booked a flight from SF to NYC solely to see Dear Evan Hansen before Ben Platt left. I had no idea how I was going to get a ticket, but I was determined. I came across the SOLD team a few days before my trip I figured it was my best bet. To be honest I was stressed the days leading up that this all might be too good to be true, and that I wouldn't actually get to see the show. My line sitter Reggie was awesome at communicating with me and reassured me that he thought our odds were good. In the last minutes before curtain, the theater released a few tickets and Reggie was able to snag me one amazing seat close to the stage. I am so grateful for SOLD and will absolutely use them again in future trips to NYC. Thank you sooooo much!! read more

Wes held a spot for me for the Reformation Sample Sale. He gave me updates on the crazy line (up to 6 hours by midday) and grabbed a ticket for me. I got in during one of the first waves and managed to nab most of the items I wanted! Booking was super easy, line dude was easy to find, and the rate is super reasonable for the service. I got to avoid waiting up at the crack of dawn and that's worth every cent. Will definitely book again! read more

I will never wait in line again! Boyfriend and I wanted to see the Wes Anderson French Dispatch pop-up cafe in the Village this weekend, but didn't have the appetite for waiting hours in line. Had heard about these guys and thought we'd give it a try. Marcus, who took our reservation over the phone, was friendly and accommodating and super responsive. Jeff and his assistant were excellent! They confirmed details via text upon reservation, sent me a photo of themselves on the line promptly at the scheduled start time, and had the rest of the line giggling and entertained when we arrived to relieve them. I'm scared for the day when word of their awesomeness gets out. read more

Such an awesome service and no complaints! I will admit, I found an ad that Robert placed on Craigslist, so I was immediately skeptical off the bat. I am usually afraid to trust people from Craigslist! But after digging into reviews and his social media I was convinced that it wasn't a scam. Robert was able to find someone to stand in line for rush tickets to a very hard to get Broadway play starting at 1am. On the night of, there was a staffing issue but Robert was present and responsive and made sure that my spot in line was secured at the agreed upon time. I ended up going for the last hour before the box office opened and got to chat with Robert who was waiting one spot behind me for a different customer (he had 3 total customers in that line, we were #s 2, 3, and 4 in a line where only the first 12 people were able to get tickets). People from further back in the line came up to talk to him and get more info and after the tickets sold out he got interest from more than a few people to enlist him for the following night. They should all do it!! I paid less for 2 rush tickets than the price of one ticket at the box office for the people not able to get rush and paying full price. I will be using Same Ole Line Dudes again! read more

I don't know why took me so long to write this! Same Ole Line Dudes helped me with making my dream come true last year: watching Hamilton. I was new in the city and would only stay for a couple of months. Tickets were sold out and the ones for resale on Stubhub were crazy expensive (over $600 for Rear Mezzanine. Whaaat?) I researched about this company and got excited about, but very, very nervous, because I wasn't sure if I could trust these guys who I've had never seen before. And I had to pay a lot of money upfront, including the amount of hours they would stay in the line (the guy got there at 5am!) and 2 tickets (per Hamilton's policy). They explained to me that they would be able to return the money for one of the those if they got the unclaimmed lottery tickets - or was it the cancellation line? Well, anyways: my point is that I trusted them, based on their reviews and... my absolute passion for Lin Manuel Miranda's work. The end of this story is pure joy. I got there around 7:15 and the guys was waiting for me with my 1ST ROW ticket!! And, a couple of days later, they returned the money I had to pay in advance for that extra ticket in case they needed. Very trustworthy and honest. My experience with them was great. I have nothing to complain. Everything went smoothly and I finally got to see the show and all it's brilliant details. Thanks, Same Ole Line Dudes! Oh, and by the way, the cost of my super premium seat was cheaper than the rear mezzanine seat on Stubhub. read more

The team at SOLD is incredibly professional and great at what they do. I used them to get Hamilton tickets, as I desperately wanted to see the OBC. Not only did we end up with INCREDIBLE seats (when you're 3 seats away from Mark Zuckerberg, it doesn't get much better than that!), but everyone that I interacted with was responsive, professional, and patient with my 100000 questions. I cannot recommend them enough. Initially, I had them booked for an upcoming Tuesday, but they had to change my original reservation since the recent cancellation line changes have made it a little harder to get tickets and they wanted to make sure they could still get tickets for all of their customers. I was originally crushed by this news and didn't know what I was going to do, but the very next morning, Ty personally called me up to say they had availability for the next day and asked if I would like to try for tickets then. I was so surprised and touched by her customer service! Sure enough, I was in the theater the very next night with 2 incredible seats and ended up being able to see the show BEFORE my original booking. It doesn't get much better than that! Many thanks to Ty, Tristan, and Ben for helping make this dream come true!!! They're a great team and I would happily use them again in the future. It's 100 percent worth it for Hamilton tickets. They will do everything in their power to make sure you are able to get tickets and the overall cost is much less expensive than comparable seats on StubHub or Ticketmaster Resale. THANK YOU SOLD!!! I'm still on my Hamilton high... read more

Same Ole Line Dudes - Best seats!!! - Couriers & Delivery Services Near Me

WOW what a great service and worth it!!!! A picture is worth a thousand words, see our Hamilton seat pics 2nd row center orchestra. We met Robert and Jeff at the Macy day parade this week. I arrived a bit before six AM. Jeff and Robert arrived some time before me and had ten or more chairs lined up for three families at the street barricade (see pic of sponge bob). We talked for some time about various shows -- SNL, Tonight Show, Hamilton etc. -- and I thought let's try out line guys. So I called Robert Saturday, and Sunday before the city was awake they stood in line for Hamilton tickets for us. By 2 PM, Jeff delivered tickets to my hotel. Two tickets were 2nd row center seats and the 3rd was in the 10th row. WOW what a show, we could see the articles facial expression, sweat and muscles as they performed. INCREDIBLE!!! I will be going back to Robert and Jeff for SNL tickets next time I am in NYC. Thank you Robert and Jeff read more

Great service! Heard about these guys form a co-worker and used them on Friday. I had will call tickets to see Chris Rock's sold out last minute show at BAM. I work in midtown and couldn't leave early to get in line. The guys were prompt to respond to my request and confirm they had a staff member available. Once there Edward texted me he was in line with a picture and was responsive the entire time as I left my office. Highly recommend this service! read more

SOLD are an excellent service provider at reasonable rates and excellent results. During the time of Covid Pandemic they have shifted their business model to shopping and delivering. My Mother in law has been diagnosed with COVID and needed some items as she is self isolating. Line Dudes was immediately able to help. Very easy communication, I sent a list of items need and quantity, paid and items were delivered to my door. Strongly consider using this service both in these times and when we get back to "Normal". Great Service!!! read more

These guys are awesome! I will say, I was tentative at first about sending a bunch of money to these guys, but the whole experience was incredible. They were extremely communicative, responsive, transparent, and fair. They walked me through every step of the process, and told me exactly who was going to do what, when, and for how much. For those wondering, I used them to wait in line to get tickets to Shakespeare in the Park in Central Park, NY. For those that do not know, this requires you to wait in line at the crack of dawn for 6+ hours to get the (free) tickets. They were there on time, sent me photographic evidence and updates along the way, and ultimately got me exactly what I was looking for - and good seats to boot! The pricing was fair, and they are extremely transparent about their pricing (it is on a per hour basis, going down in rate after the first hour; holidays are more expensive as well). I would recommend this to anyone that needs a line sitter, especially the amazing Shakespeare in the Park!! read more

Didn't actually go through with using them but they're so helpful and so kind. They explained everything in detail and was extremely patient with me when I had about a million questions. They were also very respectful when I decided that I won't be using their service (found the time to line up myself). Hopefully I will be able to use their service next time! read more

Easy scheduling. they know what they are doing and give all the details up front. the process was smooth, professional and i got to meet james taylor and get his autograph. i am all smiles. even the people in line commented on how nice robert was and how he knew the process this one store followed. I would use Ole line dudes again and highly recommend. read more

This was my first time using SOLD and they were great! Very responsive, professional and courteous. I had a bit of an unusual request in that I had my Playbill from Dear Evan Hansen signed by some but not all of the cast members. I wanted to get it signed by the rest of the cast and give it to my goddaughter as a gift, but I didn't have time to wait again by the stage door. My line sitter Royni went above and beyond the call of duty and got it done! Can't recommend him and the rest of the people at SOLD highly enough. read more

Robert and his crew are awesome!! They waited in the rush line for Music Man this past Saturday. We were able to secure three tickets for less than the price of the seats that were left for sale. It was a lifesaver and well worth it!! Robert stopped by after we arrived to take over the wait at 9 and gave us some tips as to what seats to request. Thank you!! read more

Hate to wait? The Line Dudes are here to help. I've been seeing them waiting on line at sample sales for the past few years and today, I had them wait for me. Booking a line sitter was easy and pleasant and Jeff, my line sitter, was great! By the time I arrived, he'd amassed a fan following. Great rates, excellent service and bye bye aching feet! Same Ole Line Dudes for the win! read more

I contacted Same Ole Line Dudes for help with a request I had, as I wasn't entirely sure where to call to begin with! When I called, they answered their phone within a timely manner (which already was a pleasant surprise, as a lot of places do not unfortunately) and I got to speak with Robert! I explained to Robert that I was in Florida due to my mom having a surgery, and he was super kind and understanding, and walked me through the process and was very upfront and transparent with the services provided, and that they would be more than happy and able to help me (I was genuinely so surprised and thankful, especially because it was a same day, time crunch service). I talked to him during the whole process, and I have never felt so reassured and confident in a service, especially one when I was out of state...!! I just want to express my gratitude to Robert and everyone at Same Ole Line Dudes, because I was beside myself on what to do and how to do it, and they eased and resolved my worries. Thank you guys so much, for everything! read more

Came across Same Ole Line Dudes while looking on the Passport Agency Yelp page to find out what time I needed to line up for an emergency, same day passport renewal (4AM FYI). Was dreading the early morning ahead of me until someone linked to SOLD and I am so glad they did! I reached out via the Contact Us section on the website and Marcus replied to me within minutes. Within the hour he confirmed a line sitter for me and everything went smoothly and easily. My line guy was there on time (and second in line!) and made an otherwise stressful and daunting day, a lot easier. And to top it all off, the service is really affordable. Can't recommend them enough, will definitely use them again given the opportunity! read more

A truly fantastic and innovative business idea catering to New Yorkers who would rather pay in money than time. SOLD was very responsive to my neurotic questioning about how the process works, where the money goes, and even my insistence on using PayPal as a bit of insurance instead of some other services like QuickPay (despite the amount in question being over his withdrawal limit). Because of SOLD, I was able to score four Hamilton tickets in row G and J of the orchestra, and pay the Line Dudes and the theatre together less than what tickets would cost on TicketMaster Resale or StubHub. These guys deserve your trust and your business. read more

HAMILTON TICKETS! From the get go, Marcus cradled me with great customer service. As soon as he assigned Adonis, it was off to the races. Being that I was flying in the night of the show, I was pretty nervous but took the "gamble" since even crappy tickets were $1k a piece. Turns out, Adonis has a 98% success rate and put me at ease. Sure enough, was first in line and scored me killer seats. Even delivered the tickets to my hotel so when I checked in, I had everything. I'll never get show tickets another way, ever. In fact I will find creative ways to use them. I'm going to be a line snob now lol. Adonis rocks! read more

These guys are extremely rude and unprofessional. After failing to agree, within 30 minutes, to PayPal them over $200, sight unseen, whoever I was communicating with freaked out. Honestly, such a request seemed extremely sketchy to me. Their unreasonable and truly bizarre reaction confirmed my suspicions. I would avoid these "ole line dudes" at all costs. Not only do they treat people like dirt, but they also don't seem completely above board. read more

What a genius idea!!! These guys are amazing! I literally found out about them yesterday by chance while researching of the best way to get a passport in one day in NYC. Long story short I realized my daughter's passport is expired on 8/14/19 and she's leaving on vacation next week on 8/24/19 with her father. To make matters worse I am leaving for vacation on 8/16/19. Disaster! I have so much to do already in one day that I have left and now this to add to my list! While getting all the paperwork together and researching the best way to do it and the best time to arrive at the US Passport agency by chance I stumbled up on someone recommending Same Ole Line Dudes as some one who will stand in line for you and hold your place any time of the day or night. I was dreading the long line and the hours of waiting at the office with a kid! I contacted them at about 8pm on 8/14/19 for the 8/15/19 event. By 9pm I had a confirmation they had someone to stand in line. Robert held our place from 3am to 7am till we got there. By 7:45 they were letting people inside. We were number 2 on the line, the 1st ones to come upstairs, we got called right away and were literally done by 8:05. I honestly can't believe how fast we got everything accomplished. I was anticipating spending at least half a day there. Passport pick up scheduled for 8/16/19 only because my daughter is not traveling the same or next day, otherwise it would have been same day pick up. I can't thank you guys enough! Great service, 10 starts not 5! Will be recommending and using again. read more

This was a great business idea... I was number 5 on a very long sample sale line because of my line sitter. The price is reasonable as well. Thanks Elvin! read more

These guys are the REAL DEAL. Professional and reliable.... I used them for the Diptyque candle sale which is one of the craziest sale with huge line in New York. I was skeptical at first and was wondering if my guy would show up on time. Well he showed up.... EARLY. They are nice, professional guys. You paypal a deposit and give them cash when you show up to trade the spot. Don't want to wait out in the snow in 25 degrees weather, well SOLD will do it for you, and MORE. Being there early for any sale is a MUST since you want all the best stuff. Give them a chance, you will be very happy with the result. The best part about this, they are affordable. I will use them for SNL or maybe when the next iPhone comes out. read more

OMG UNPROFESSIONAL, DISCOURTEOUS. HORRIBLE ATTITUDE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I called to confirm that they were a courier service. The guy who answered phone number (347) 744-9248 would not answer the question. Instead, he kept forcefully asking my name, then he sent me the following text: "e don't ask questions with being professional about trying to ave a conversation with you would know him we're speaking with f you don't know how to use the phone then bitch don't call us!" Someone at this company is out of control with the nastiest attitude imaginable, or maybe he just disrespects women. I bet it's Robert, the owner as Angelina M. expressed in a previous review. Either way, I wouldn't do business with people like this. Many other options. read more
