Many customers report frustrating experiences with delayed ticket arrivals, inadequate support, and unexpected fees, leading to feelings of being misled or scammed. While some users have had positive interactions, particularly regarding refunds for canceled events, these experiences are overshadowed by the recurring themes of service delays and a lack of accountability. Overall, customers express a strong caution against using the platform, suggesting a need for substantial improvements in transparency and support.

I have bought tickets to concerts and sporting events several times on stubhub and have not encountered any problems. I find their search features easy to use and the tickets always arrive on time with no problems. Allows you to select the ticket pickup options. You can probably find cheaper tickets from other outlets or sources, but you risk unreliable sellers or running into problems which can be a pain in the butt to solve. Haven't encountered any such issues with stubhub.
ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! I paid 350 dollars for two tickets to a yankees game and my credit card was immediately charged, but I received a call the next day saying my tickets were sold already and I was given completely different tickets for the same price! NOT IN A COMPARABLE SECTION! They refused to do anything else and because I finally said whatever and hung up I apparently agreed to have the tickets... excuse me? I called back still angry and someone reviewed my earlier call, which was recorded without my permission or an announcement of doing so, to tell me that I agreed to the tickets end of story... I am not happy
Do you need to buy last minute concert tickets? Scared of scalpers? Don't want to deal with ebay and craigslist scams? Stubhub is where I buy all of my concert tickets when I need to do it at the last minute or when ticketmaster and places like that are sold out. Stubhub is reliable and fast... they even will email you the ticket if it is at the last minute.
Answer: That's my assumption. Some other people on this site might be able to answer that from actual experience.
Answer: They sell tickets they do not actually have yet. They started selling tickets for a Garth Brooks concert in Salt Lake City before tickets even went on sale. They have no way of knowing if they will actually get tickets to fulfill orders, and just cancel the order the day before the event if they don't have the tickets. Its pretty much a gamble with Stub Hub if you will get your tickets or not.
Answer: Stub hub only does resales so they can rip off the seller as well as the buyer
Answer: Hello Gisela! We aren't able to have you sell will call as an ID will need to be presented for pick up. Hope this helps!
Answer: Hi Rachael, If you purchase a ticket labeled as Instant Download you will receive your ticket as soon as you order. If you purchase a mobile ticket or electronic download then you will be notified when your ticket is ready. Which would be no later than the date advised when you purchase. It is very rare to not have your ticket prior to the day of event. There are only a select few shows that require ticket delivery day of event. I hope this helps and we are here to assist if you have any additional questions!
