 Bought a parking pass for Wrigley Field. It was the worst experience of my life. Never ever buy parking from StubHub. They sold parking to a lot that was  impossible to find. There were no gates  as described on the website when I was purchasing. There was absolutely no one working in this lot. There were just people walking around confused because there were absolutely no spots left. Because they weren’t checking to see if people  were parking without passage. So the people who parked there without passes, got all the good spots, and then the people who purchased passes and had to park elsewhere in the lot got towed because they were blocking the people park illegally.
In addition, the lot was pre-leased to a construction company for parking so they were taking up most of the spots to begin with. It was the worst cluster I have ever seen. My car got towed. I wasn’t blocking anyone in when I park, but because people parked on the side of me, eventually we were blocking people in and they just told everyone. I have absolutely no recourse. The ordeal cost about $300 and a ton of time with my three kids after and otherwise enjoyable game. I can’t see how StubHub, a huge company can get away with this.  It’s basically a huge money, making scam for StubHub, the lot owner, who is renting the lot to StubHub as well as a construction company and the towing company who is making bank day after day after day for the same ordeal whenever there is a Cubs game.
I’m talking about them towing tons of cars at $250 a pop.  I spoke to the lady at the towing company who basically said she was just doing her job towing cars from this lot day after day after day for the same fraudulent preventable reason. In my opinion,  it’s just an indirect form of predatory towing  and the victims who bought legitimate passes, have no  recourse because there is no one to even ask a question too because the lots are not managed by anyone on site.
 If there is a class action suit, please count me in.. between the $240 fee to get my car back, the Uber ride and the fee for the worthless parking pass, I’ve lost nearly $300. If StubHub wouldn’t have advertised parking, I would’ve just gone to the game and parked in a more expensive lot without all these problems.  I am going to follow a case in small claims court to try to get my money back,  calling Stub Hub, calling the department at regulate towing in Chicago and also notifying Wrigley field. This was completely a money shake down.

I will never use StubHub again, and I strongly recommend that others avoid it. I spent over $700 on a premium concert ticket that was advertised and sold as a seat very close to the stage. However, when the ticket was transferred to me on the day of the event, I discovered that the seat I received was 10 rows farther back than the one I had purchased. The ticket delivered was materially different from the ticket sold. This was not a minor discrepancy. I paid a premium price specifically for a premium experience and ended up with a significantly less valuable seat. Because the transfer occurred on the day of the event, I had no realistic opportunity to resolve the issue before the show.
After providing clear documentation showing exactly what I purchased and exactly what I received, StubHub's proposed resolution was a $180.28 coupon toward a future purchase rather than a refund. The problem is simple: why would I want a coupon from a company that failed to deliver the product I purchased? Asking a customer to spend more money with the same company after such an experience is not a meaningful solution. The most disappointing part of this experience was not the seller's mistake. Mistakes happen. The most disappointing part was StubHub's response after being presented with clear evidence that the ticket delivered was not the ticket sold.
As a result, I will never use StubHub again for any purpose. Not for concerts, sporting events, theater shows, or any other ticket purchase. Ever. This experience completely destroyed my trust in the company. More importantly, I strongly recommend that others do not use StubHub, regardless of whether you're spending $50, $500, or several thousand dollars. If a company cannot be trusted to deliver the seat that was purchased and then refuses to provide an appropriate refund when it fails to do so, the amount of money involved becomes irrelevant. The issue is trust. A ticket marketplace is built on trust. After this experience, I have absolutely no trust in StubHub and will never do business with them again. I encourage anyone considering a ticket purchase to use a different platform and avoid the risk of going through what I experienced.

I bought tickets a month prior to my event, but upon my arrival, the tickets were not generating. Because of this, I needed to buy a whole new set of tickets at the event. I have spent at least two hours on the phone with StubHub explaining my situation. Some staff members told me I had a guaranteed refund; others told me I needed to be reviewed. I spoke with Kenneth and Marie; staff members have NO IDEA what they are talking about when you ask questions. Finally, I was told that I could not because I called after the event was over. But how was I supposed to call beforehand when the problem only occurred at the event itself?? I feel totally scammed. $300 down the toilet of this company. I was stolen from and then told for two hours that it was my fault.

Do not buy tickets through StubHub! Terrible experience. Would not give me my tickets. Did not let me know my tickets were unavailable until 3 hours before the concert, after we were almost there, traveled out of state to get there. StubHub should not be in the business of selling tickets, third-party or not, if they cannot deliver actual tickets!

Sold tickets on StubHub, and they kept the money. They say I owe them $700 from 2023 for tickets that they never delivered — I have full email documentation, which I provided to them, but WOW, the dispute process is so long and frustrating (hard copies sent certified mail, 30- to 45-day waiting period) that it seems to be designed to frustrate you. So here I am, out ~$250, because Stubhub is acting all sketchy like some shady scalper, and not following up to their own policies. My advice: NEVER SELL ON STUBHUB. They might make up a reason and decide to keep your money. Hate to say it, but Ticketmaster is better? It's expensive, but they don't steal from you like Stubhub does.

I sold two World Cup tickets for the England vs Croatia game on StubHub on June 16th. I received a sales receipt confirmation stating that I would receive my proceeds from the sale, $2880, within 5-8 business days. It is now July 31st, and I've received nothing. I've attempted to collect my money by calling their customer service dept four times in the last month. They don't help at all. They say they will have someone call me back. It never happens. I will fight to get my money back that legally belongs to me, not them.

Purchased 2 parking passes and a set of tickets to a concert. Parking passes were invalid, access was denied due to the lot was exclusive to production and stage crew. The parking representative said countless tickets were sold and denied entry for a two-day show for that lot and advised I only use certified ticket vendors in the future. The actual concert tickets were valid, but after not being able to attend the first night, I attempted to sell for free on their website. I guess to sell is free but cost to list was almost a 50% fee. StubHub was getting paid on the original sale and even more on the resale. It's not free. So then, I wanted to transfer and was advised due to a system error the system allowed tickets to be listed in error. This particular ticket was not available for transfer and should not have been allowed to be listed on their site for resale.
A customer service associate did work it out the day before the show that I could email tickets to friends that did get to enjoy the concert. This vendor doesn't actually have tickets to sell but rely on other purchasers to buy from certified sellers and transfer them to StubHub customers with a deadline as late as 2- hours before the start of a show is ridiculous. I now will continue to purchase tickets from certified venues, with immediate delivery of tickets. StubHub prices are often same price, if not higher than certified dealers, so why not go directly to the source. Now have put in refund requests and hope this "fan protect" 120% refund policy works as promised.

Purchased tickets that ended up twice the listed price. Can't go to concert as my wife has been x diagnosed with cancer. No full refund, only option is to sell the tickets at half the price paid. The resale page is user unfriendly. I'm giving up on trying to resell the tickets as the site is so frustrating. NEVER will deal with this heartless, greedy company and will recommend not to attend ANY event where tickets are sold through these thieves!

StubHub took my money for 7 Ed Sheeran tickets and never delivered them. We spent weeks calling customer service, were repeatedly told to "wait," and even sat on hold for 30+ minutes for a supervisor before the call was disconnected. After getting nowhere with customer service, we escalated the matter directly to StubHub's CEO and Executive Team, yet they also failed to provide any meaningful response or resolution. No tickets. No answers. No accountability. This is one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. I will never use StubHub again and strongly recommend that others avoid them. Please Do not buy from them - Fraud - They Do Not Care -

I purchased tickets in January 2026 and I am still unable to download the tickets. I was told that the link from TicketMaster is no good. The original seller of the tickets is non-responsive.

I can no longer purchase tickets through this entity or any other that has people who I cannot understand. How disrespectful, when I have an issue I call customer service and the rep don't fluently speak my language. Imagine me as hardworking citizens patronizing events and I don't get reciprocated any support in doing so. That money is going to another country and will not come back to my country or the citizens here. This business practice will help to bankrupt this country along with the current administration. It's really frustrating and to not have to deal with it I'd rather not do business of the sort.

StubHub informed me that the tickets I purchased are unavailable. After many, many back-and-forths with unprofessional and unhelpful customer service agents, the outcome is that they can't offer alternative tickets (which the original email said would be an option) and they won't offer a StubHub credit that I can use to buy other tickets (because even though they originally offered this as an option, the system they use to automatically issue StubHub credit refunds is apparently permanently broken and for some reason they can't do it manually?). The only remaining option is a very time-consuming cash refund option. I had only purchased the tickets on StubHub (as opposed to at the venue, which would have been cheaper than StubHub) because I was able to get good deals with cash back and a credit through my credit card.
A cash refund means I lose the cash back and credit and won't be able to recoup them. The tickets for this event are way more expensive on StubHub now anyway (about 2x face value, even though the tickets aren't even sold out at the venue). StubHub is not a legitimate and trustworthy platform. It is just a site that facilitates fraud and scams and doesn't have any intention of providing real customer support.

My listing went missing prior to the expiration time. I contacted Stubhub and they advised that the buyer did not complete the purchase because they did not have the funds to make the purchase. Well, this would fall out of my control and would not hold me liable that my tickets which were off the market for purchase for the public. Stubhub advised they were not responsible for the error but the case is still unresolved and which left my listing active after expiration of the event. Stubhub closed my conversations without resolving the issue and did not take accountability of the error on their end. Stubhub has provided the worst customer support of my life, I do not recommend this service

I ordered seven tickets for Friday, July 17 at Delmar racetrack. I waited patiently for the tickets to show up, very frustrated that I had to wait till the actual day to receive my tickets. I had invited 6 other people who were coming from all over when 11 AM came. I got an email that said the tickets were not available. There was no alternative tickets available since it was opening day. We had to go to the racetrack and get walk-in tickets twice the price because the tickets I ordered were not available. I will never order or trust STUBHUB again. Very, very disappointed.

StubHub customer experience is the worst one I have ever experienced. I purchased the tickets and was referred to another site to download using an email address that was not mine. This did not work and Stub Hub has no human to contact to resolve the problem. It provides no logical methodology to gain a resolution. It should provide a really clear warning “customer beware. We have no way to resolve a simple problem of delivering tickets. Just throw your money in the ocean.” I would not recommend their service or ever use them again for any event I actually want to see!!!!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience using StubHub. I purchased tickets to see one of my favorite comedians, Godfrey, on June 11—more than a month before the show. My tickets were supposed to be delivered to my phone by 4:00 p.m. on the day of the event, which began at 7:00 p.m. When 4:00 p.m. came and went with no tickets, I logged into my StubHub account to see what was happening. That's when I found a message stating that the seller was unable to provide the tickets I had already purchased and paid for, and that no comparable replacement tickets were available. Instead of enjoying an evening I had been looking forward to for weeks, I was left scrambling just hours before the show, only to learn that my only option was to request a refund. To make matters worse, StubHub indicated that it could take up to 10 days to receive my money back.
This experience was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. When customers purchase tickets more than a month in advance, they should be able to trust that the tickets will actually be available on the day of the event. Canceling an order just hours before the show is unacceptable, especially when there is no meaningful solution offered beyond waiting for a refund. I will never use StubHub again, and I cannot recommend the service to anyone based on this experience.

RUN, RUN, RUN AWAY FROM STUBHUB! THESE GUYS ARE CRIMINALS. Criminals take something and give nothing in return. Here's what happened with these criminals. I purchased tickets 8 months ago to the Monty Python Spamalot show. Unfortunately, we were not able to claim the tickets through the StubHub application.
When I contacted a customer service representative, they said I needed to take screenshots of my StubHub account, which I did. They then said you need to screenshot from your phone the Ticketmaster application showing there's no tickets in there. I attempted to do that, and Ticketmaster stopped me from taking a screenshot. When I looked at Ticketmaster's official policy online on their website, it clearly stated that their application prevents the use of screenshots to prevent fraud, which makes perfect sense to me.
I explained that to the people at StubHub, and their response was the only way we could refund you is if you take a screenshot. I explained multiple times and even screenshot the policy right off of Ticketmaster's website, not the application, and sent it over to them. Their continued response was that you have to take a screenshot, which I kept saying I cannot take a screenshot. They said, "Sorry, we can't issue you your refund." So the night my wife and I had planned was completely ruined by StubHub, and they're taking no responsibility for it and will not refund my money.
I'm going through my credit card to attempt to get my money back that way. This is absolutely a horrific experience! I will never use this company again to purchase any venue. I'm deleting the application from my phone, and I suggest anybody who wants tickets go someplace else. Total criminals. Criminals take something and give nothing in return. That's exactly what these guys did.

IT IS A BIG SCAM! I purchased two tickets and never received them. I was on the phone for over 4 hours with customer services and they kept blaming Ticketmaster which appeared to be a lie. When I asked Carlos to transfer me to a supervisor he refused to and said the problem was on ticketmaster's end. When I called ticketmaster they told me that they never received a transfer request from Stubhub. They literally scammed me and got away with it. NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM STUBHUB.

I would leave zero stars if possible. I bought tickets to a Yankees/Dodgers game while on vacation in New York. The game was rained out and rescheduled for the next day. We were unable to go because we had non-refundable tickets for another event. The only options were to go to the game or relist the tickets to try and resell them. I paid well over $200 for the 2 tickets. When I tried to relist them to try to get some of my money back, it came up and told me that they would not show buyers my tickets because there were other tickets in the section for sale for $43. If I had purchased them directly through Ticketmaster, I would have had the option to exchange them for another game within the next 12 months. So, we had to eat the money for these tickets.

Worst customer service and prices ever. They’re not refunding for a cancelled event, saying it’s postponed. All of my friends have already received refunds for this event.

I purchased tickets to a destination Concert at Red Rocks in Colorado on 7/8/26. Day of concert we go early in day and realize are seats are actually row 70 (the very last row, left for wheelchair access). I immediately call StubHub and explain I purchased row 24 and I am not happy about the switched out tickets that said were an UpGrade. Customer Service tells me only way to get a refund is to cancel the purchase. So I ended up buying 2 more tickets, I did not get the new tickets till 6 pm night of concert, and I was not going to cancel my crappy seats till I knew I had confirmed seats. I spent another 35 min on ph cancelling the orig purchase from the venue parking lot. Customer service confirms my refund and says I will get a series of emails later that night and to follow the instructions and return the unused tickets either that night or the next morning.
Well the next morning the tickets are no longer visible on the AXIS app. I call Stubhub and email several times over the next two weeks until finally on 7/22 I stay on the line for 30-40 min and a supervisor tells me the refund has been declined because I did not return my tickets the day of the concert. The customer service girl said I could follow up the emails the next day- I had no idea the tickets disappear after the concert. This is over $510 for these tickets and it is criminal they can do this and get away with it. Overall I think I was on the phone w Stubhub for 2 hrs 23 min on 3 occasions to try and correct what they said was an upgrade. I was not going to sit in the very last row of the venue, when I travelled 1300 miles with my daughter to see this venue and concert.

Updated on 07/24/2026: Just a follow up on the review I wrote earlier today. I got a message from StubHub asking how my experience was. I was supposed to click on a link to write a review, and instead it just took me to their site where they showed what other events I might be interested in. I suspect they don't care too much about my opinion of their "service", but wouldn't mind selling me more tickets.
Original Review: I rarely write 1-star reviews, but I will not use StubHub again. They need to spell out policies and procedures clearly to those using the site for the first time. We bought tickets (9) for a Yankee game, and it was a hassle every step of the way. I've purchased tickets online many times, so I'm not a "rookie" at this. You find what you want, enter your information, get charged, get an email notification with a link to the tickets, which you can either keep on your phone or print out, and send out to others in your party. Not with StubHub. You get a notification that the tickets are ready. When you try to access them, you can't just send a link to everyone in your group. You need to distribute them one at a time, but only after they have downloaded the StubHub app. After that, they get access to tickets through Ticketmaster, for which they also have to download an app.
The tickets are only electronic, and you can't print them out. That's fine, except when the websites aren't working when you need to access the tickets to get into the event--and this is what happened with me. After checking MANY times to be sure I understood how to access my tickets quickly on my phone, when the time came to go to the Stadium and produce the tickets, there were problems access the Ticketmaster website (I tried many times, as did my daughter, and Ticketmaster was having problems). I went to the StubHub site and after several tries was finally able to access the barcodes for my tickets (these change regularly to prevent fraud). It took a few tries for the young man at the gate to scan them successfully, but we finally got in. This is not the kind of experience I want to repeat.

Is this my first and last time buying a ticket from this company? They are so overpriced, it was a $100. More than the actual website issuing the festival itself. I can't understand how this is a ticket provider. Trying to give you a better deal on tickets. When they are almost tripling, the cost to begin with. I don't know how this company is going to survive. Very long. Do a business like this is not a good look for a company. You guys should be ashamed at yourself. Charging prices like that.

Deactivate account, delete StubHub app, and don’t look back! Never got the ticket that I purchased and all messages were circular — poor lame excuses of so called attempts of helping.

I purchased the Parking Pass at the same time I purchased the Nate Bargatze comedy concert ticket. I believed this would ensure me parking close to the venue, San Diego Pechanga (Sports) Arena. NEVER TRUST STUBHUB. The parking lot was about 7 blocks away with the last 2 blocks in a unfrequented poorly lit area off of Rosecrans. When I arrived at the lot the sketchy and unpleasant man quickly told me that I will need to make my own arrangements to get back to the lot after the concert and said, "you can walk or call Uber, we will shuttle you there but not back." When I pointed out that the printed parking pass, which was poorly drafted; nonetheless, did state to text "Shuttle" after the concert, the sketchy unpleasant man shrugged.
As it would not have safe to walk to that location at night and it was not practical as no Uber driver would have dealt with the concert crowd and driven 7 blocks without charging a small fortune, I paid $45 to park in the venue's parking lot. I never use the (misleading) parking lot that is an airport shuttle business. The next day, I contacted StubHub and dealt with their AI chat multiple time, inexplicably being disconnected right at the point of they were either going to approve my reimbursement or deny it.
I then spoke to 3 different live agents, "Roger," "Mia" and "Julio." All of whom were unconcerned and the last two offering me a $9 credit with StubHub in the future. So, they offer this parking pass when they sell you the concert ticket and never disclose it is nowhere near the venue and you will be on your own getting back to the lot when it is late and you will not feel safe and their solution is to try and sucker you into doing business with them again for a measly $9. StubHub you are disgusting, disreputable and everyone who works for you is an aider-and-abetter and I hope has a future dealing with only StubHub-like businesses. You are awful and should feel ashamed to be so despicable.

StubHub doesn't sell event tickets. They are a middleman broker who takes your money with no responsibility for after-sales support. They blame Ticketmaster, where the tickets actually come from and are kept. But, when you can't go to an event with SH tickets you bought months ago, you can't post them for resale on SH because they require a Ticket Transfer from TM. But TM won't release the tickets until the day of the event. How do you resell tickets the day of the event? SH kept my $444, and TM says "Not our problem". This and the fees and costs have been a problem for years. Consumers get hosed. Both CEOs should go to jail.

I purchased a ticket on June 10th 2026 to attend the White Sox vs Houston Astros at Daikin Park Houston Texas on August 31st 2026 from Stubhub.com, I became aware of major errors on the ticket on July 1st 2026 such as the seating section being in Lot A Row A which is according to the venue a parking lot, the ticket was sold as entry to the event with Section A highlighted on the seating chart on Stubhub's listing, Row A was also incorrect as the rows are numbered not lettered.
I called Stubhub customer service on July 2nd 2026 to express my concerns regarding the validity of the ticket I purchased from Stubhub, it was during this conversation I was told that my ticket was not available and I would be given a ticket that was nowhere near equal in value in a different section that sells for 83.00 to 96.00 whereas I paid 220.87 for my ticket with free food and non alcoholic beverages. The ticket I was told I have to accept is not comparable or better than the ticket I originally purchased by any means per Stubhub's fan protect guarantee.

I got tickets for The George Lopez show. On StubHub it shows postponed. According to their policy at the show is postponed you cannot get a refund. You can sell your tickets once the show is rescheduled. On every other site you look at there is already a reschedule date for the show but StubHub is not recognizing it so they are just holding on to my money and I can't resell or get a refund although I have sent them proof that the show has been rescheduled. Check out the Better Business Bureau before making a purchase. If the show does not get postponed you're fine.

I ordered a two coat on StubHub for an event that day. They said my ticket was ready at 2:20 pm. The event started at 7:30 pm. I tried to get the ticket until 5 pm. It would not go through. I canceled the transfer and bought a ticket for Seat Geek. I got the ticket instantly. I was charged for the ticket from StubHub. They do not tell you that the price will be charged anyways. Tried to contact once and could not get through. Called again and they said they couldn’t help me. My advice is to order from Seat Geek.

I am writing because I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with how StubHub handled my order and the resolution being offered. I purchased 3 World Cup tickets through StubHub for myself, my daughter, and my mother. We all traveled from Charlotte to Philadelphia for this event and relied on StubHub to provide the tickets we purchased.
When we arrived, StubHub failed to deliver the tickets. We were left outside the stadium trying to solve a problem that should never have existed. Instead of enjoying what was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience together, I was forced into a last-minute scramble trying to find any available tickets while standing outside the venue. Because StubHub did not come through, I had no choice but to purchase replacement tickets through Vivid Seats at the last minute. I paid approximately $2,700 for only 2 tickets, and Vivid Seats delivered immediately.
The most upsetting part is that I originally purchased 3 tickets through StubHub, but because of the last-minute availability and cost, I was only able to secure 2 replacement tickets for my daughter and me. My mother, who had traveled with us to Philadelphia for this experience, was unable to attend the match and had to stay behind at the hotel and watch the game from there.
That is what makes this so upsetting. This was not just an inconvenience or a delayed delivery. Stub Hub's failure directly caused our family experience to be ruined. We traveled together expecting to attend together, and because StubHub failed to provide what I purchased, one member of our group was left out completely.
Now I am being told StubHub only wants to refund my original purchase amount of $2,098.42. Respectfully, I do not believe that is an adequate resolution. StubHub’s failure forced me to spend approximately $2,700 out of pocket at the last minute just to salvage part of the experience and avoid disappointing my daughter after traveling for this event. At a minimum, I am requesting reimbursement that reflects the actual replacement cost I incurred because of StubHub’s failure to deliver. Don't ever use them - worst company and there is no customer support only a chatbot. No human interactions ever. You will lose your money. Stay the hell away!!!

We purchased tickets the beginning of December 2025 for the World Cup USA game today in LA. We bought flights from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Phoenix (our son and grandson live there and are going to the game with us) months ago and a car rental. We have yet to receive the tickets for tonight’s match. They say the person never transferred the tickets.
We have been in contact with StubHub staff by chat almost every day for the past week. They told us we would have the tickets 2 days ago, then yesterday. They will not give us a refund as they have until 2 hours before the game to find us suitable replacement tickets even though they say that is not likely to happen. So we are forced to drive from Phoenix to LA and hope to get tickets either from StubHub or try to find some tickets 2 hours before the game or drive back to Phoenix having spent money on flights, rental car, gas and probably a hotel!! That is very unfair, terrible customer service, and has put a negative spin on an event we were very excited about.
We will never use StubHub again and will tell anyone we can about this experience! We will also have to wait up to 10 days to receive our refund of several thousand dollars even though they have had our money for 7.5 months!! StubHub needs to change some of their policies. A person selling tickets should have to transfer them within so many days of the transaction or at least a week before the event thereby allowing someone the chance to purchase tickets again if the transaction falls through.
