Purchased tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld in New Orleans on 5/31/24. I suffer from severe claustrophobia and took a great deal of time to select an end seat. In fact, the price was more for my end seat selection. After arriving at the show, we were told our seats were in the middle of our row. Needless to say, I watched the majority of the show from the back of the theater. BEWARE of STUBHUB! You may not be getting what you are paying for.

They’re 100% a scam. Their customer service is horrible to add they will do thing to steal money from you. Come to find out Ticketmaster's parking passes are nontransferable, StubHub knows this so they will tell the user they can’t transfer it, they will then list it for sale, leaving the seller desperate to send something to the buyer. When you have proof it was sent Stub Hub will charge you a fee stating it wasn’t. This is a scam. They will charge you unauthorized fees. When you call Customer Service, it’s someone’s basement and they’re scared to do anything so they’ll hang up.

Wow! How terrible and deceiving StubHub is! Never going to use again. They stole my tickets. Spent about $210 for Avril Lavigne in Mountain View on May 28. Never received my tickets and they transferred my mobile tickets to someone else or God knows who. I called the morning of the concert because I could not find my order. The agent simply said that my ticket got transferred to someone else. I guess I was the one to be blamed for.
This business should be CLOSED IMMEDIATELY!!!! It's like buying from CHINA and expecting to get nothing in the mail for what you pay for. Actually they are worst than CHINA. They don't protect your purchase. I ended up having to buy tickets again. Spent another $160, same day as concert. I opened a claim with my credit card since I never received what was promised for the amount I paid for. Please use VIVID SEATS, very loyal business practices where I ended up buying the tickets from last minute. Don't feed the monster. Those business only survive if we buy from them.

Well went to see The Rolling Stones. Great show. But was ripped off from StubHub. 20 minutes before show I saw tickets for $250 each which 20 mins before show I thought was a good deal until I went to check you and all of a sudden there was a service fee of $110 per ticket. Now that’s a rip off. Almost half the price in fees. Horrible way to do business.

Bait and switch. They provided tickets one hour before show for the wrong row (receipt clearly shows my ordered row, but actual delivery was completely different). A row with much less favorable seats than what I paid almost $1,000 for is what was delivered. My choice, release the issued tix with no guarantee of being able to see the show and try to secure the correct row. Or take the crappy seats and get a 25% credit to a future purchase with SH, but only good for one year. Classic bait and switch. Buyer be very aware of this scam site.

I wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased tickets. This place is a scam. I will NEVER use them again. Purchased tickets to a game, and checked out. I was puzzled when the total came out. Thought I purchased an extra tickets because the total came out so expensive. I reviewed the line item receipt and realized I got charged over +$400 in FEES for 4 tickets. How is that even legal?! I reached out right away and let them know that there is no way I want these tickets with those fees. It’s absurd. Sorry for you, they didn’t care even though it was the same day and only 3 hours after purchased. They justify the fees for customer service. Ironic. There must be a class action suit and I’ll be joining. Crooks!

I accidentally listed the same tickets for the same same twice on StubHub. I am not sure how this would even be possible as the event, date, time, section, and seat numbers were included. The second should have been rejected. Unfortunately, they both sold on StubHub and obviously I could not complete both sales. I contacted StubHub and the second buyer immediately, days before the event, but StubHub still charged me $1500 to get the second buyer similar seats. In the computer age, it should not be possible to list identical tickets on the same site. Customer service was repeatedly and uniquely unhelpful with scripted responses that did not address my concern or answer my question.

PGA Championship tickets for Sunday and Saturday. We could not use Sunday tickets, so put up for sale. Tickets all processed through SeatGeek. Sunday tickets arrived Friday of tournament. Transferred to buyer. Buyer objected that tickets did not include access to lounge. Those passes were not included in my purchase. I passed on to buyer, what was sent to me from SeatGeek. Passes to access lounge for Sunday were transferred to me on Saturday afternoon at 1:52pm. I was at the tournament. StubHub Customer Service is non-existent.

I have used Stubhub a couple times and both times, it has been a really frustrating experience that I have generally not experienced with other ticket selling platforms. I purchased relatively pricey MLB tickets. The game ended up being postponed and I was no longer able to attend. This should not have been an issue because I could just sell the tickets....or so I thought. Due to issues with the stubhub app the tickets could not be relisted. Calling customer service was no help. The first 2 times I called, I received an automated message stating they are experiencing technical difficulties and cannot take calls. I waited and called back the following day just to be told there were no resolutions to this issue. So I'm stuck with tickets that I can't use or can't sell.
Overall, I am confident that this company's dysfunctional app and incompetent customer service team have ensured that I will do my best to never do business with this company again. All I can say is buyers beware. If you absolutely have to use this company, be sure to buy insurance if for no other reason than to protect you from stubhub.

StubHub is the the absolute worst company on the planet!!! BEWARE!!! They should get negative stars, but to put a review you are forced to give at least one star. They deserve to be shutdown. You will NOT get your tickets and have to FIGHT for your money. This company is the equivalent of scalpers. DO NOT purchase tickets if you actually want to see a show.
We got to the venue after purchasing tickets in January for a May show to see Norah Jones at the Apollo theater only for the start time to arrive and after having to call Stub Hub 3 times, for them to to say that they do NOT have the tickets we PAID for in advance. They had NO replacement tickets, NOTHING! Their version of an acceptable solution is to refund our money which we have to go in and ACTIVELY request?!?! So this is still to be determined as we do not have the money back in our card at this time. They did NOT contact us at all!
This is completely unacceptable! We already drove to the venue and paid for parking, none of which has been refunded! They had our money in their possession since January to do as they wish. We had to call THEM to get any form of resolution. I will do anything in my power to make sure buyers know what an outright awful company this is...Simply look at their reviews here, on BBB, Google, etc...They can't maintain over 1.5 stars and that is because the public is forced to give one star to write a review. They should be shut down!

Someone hacked my account and stole my tickets and Stub Hub said it's my fault and will not honor my purchase or refund my money. ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS. And to top it off, yesterday I spoke to a supervisor who told me they would remove the tickets from the person's account who took them and reissue them to me. Today I get a call that the supervisor who told me this was incorrect and that technically the tickets are out there twice and I have a 50/50 shot of getting into the show. They do not care nor cover their customers as it relates to theft. If you use StubHub BEWARE. If anything happens they DO NOT stand by their FanProtect policy. They are fine with their customers having their money and tickets STOLEN and FRAUDULENT activity occurring on their site because they got their cut so they could care less about YOU the customer. NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL THEY GET A DIME OF MY MONEY!!!! This company is a disgrace.

I wish I would have read the reviews on this site before I did business with StubHub. I bought three tickets to Bruce Springsteen at approximately 500 plus dollars per ticket. For total 1600 dollars or so. Then they offered their parking vendors. They sold a parking spot that was completely in an abandoned lot very far from the venue. We drove around the block several times thinking it was a mistake since the marketing for the spot was last spot going fast! There was not a soul in the parking lot and it was a lot that was free. Nobody was in the parking lot to collect money.
Somebody sold me a piece of concrete that they didn't own. And there was no competition for the spaces at all. It charged me $77 for this spot that was extremely out of the way and in a lot that was free. It was Sunday in parking was free in that light and all around the neighborhood. That lot was not able to accept money except if you use the meters that were free for that day. So they charged me $ 77. I called back and told him the entire story, they took one of the representatives was quite honest and said that it happens often. He said that it was elevated for an investigation. This was not true, nobody got back to me. 3 weeks later I called them and they offered me a coupon.
I would not buy anything from this company. I would not use their coupon even if it was worth more than the $77. They are scammers. They sold me something that they were not legally allowed to sell me. You can't sell something that's for free and also a parking space that's in a lot that's abandoned miles from the venue. And supposing said the lot was full only one spot left and going fast. Which was completely fraudulent. There was Zero people at the lot except for one older gentleman who told me that I probably was scammed. Scammers.
Don't you StubHub ever. Don't give them their money. Even if you have successful transaction, I'm sure they're scamming You by adding lots of fraudulent costs. For example: I paid $77 but the receipt they sent to my email said $35. It doesn't make a difference because there was not a soul at the parking lot for me to show the receipt to. The customer service will go round around with you and act like they're very polite but at the end of the conversation you're back where you started. They are puppets and they act like they're working with you and pretend to empathize but they're really just talking in circles so that they don't give you your refund. Rip off!

I bought tickets to Melanie Martinez on Stubhub. They were very expensive but I wanted my daughter to see her favorite artist. I bought them on payments. The seats were rated 10.0 Great View. Well, we got there and they were awful. Seats that shouldn’t have been sold. We were basically behind the stage. I reached out to their customer service and was told that I got the seats I paid for. When I told them that their website said it was a “great view” and unobstructed, they told me to “prove it”. This was the first time I bought from them so I didn’t think to screenshot the rating on their website to keep as proof. I sent them the photos and they gave me and $89 credit. I told them that wasn’t sufficient and they pretty much told me that was all they would do.
I attached photos. We only saw the back of the artists and none of the video footage behind them. In the picture with the red circle around the screen, that shows where we were….behind the screen. The big screen was what everyone was watching the show on from the other side of it. We never saw the faces of any of the people playing the music. I felt so stupid and was out almost $400. I highly recommend purchasing your tickets elsewhere. When you do call customer service, they are rude and belittle you, that is, if you can understand them through the heavy accents. Awful company!!

Buyer beware. This reviews rates Stubhub a zero. If something goes wrong your money is gone. Absolutely fraudulent business. Their reviews speak for themselves. After realizing I was unable to attend an event I purchased tickets for, I put those tickets up for sale. I never received those tickets so I was unable to forward to the buyer. This was months before the event. I called Stub Hub for months in an attempt to receive those tickets. I was told I would receive them a week prior, then a 5 days prior, then the day prior to the event. The day before the event, I still had no tickets. I called them and told them I had to get this transaction done because within 12 hours I would be on a plane and would not be able to forward those tickets to my prospective buyer. The representative told me, Stub hub would do the transfer for me since I'd never received those tickets. Assuming this issue was taken care of I never checked my email.
Hours prior to the event I was in the air and the order came through. I called stub hub and argued with a representative for an hour and a half who was convinced I was a liar until I finally convinced him to play back their recorded call. I gave him the date, time, and duration of the call. After putting me on hold he came back and apologized. He'd heard the previous representative tell me Stub hub would do my transfer for me. Then he escalated the case. I asked for a case number. He couldn't provide one.
I called for several weeks to check the progress and was finally told Stub hub will not be reimbursing me regardless of their mistake. I spent $486 on tickets I never received, I was misinformed, then refused refund. This process lasted months. I disputed it with all evidence to my credit card company who reimbursed me in full. Stub hub took money, lied, gave no service, and dropped my calls. Complete failure from start to finish. There's a word for this type of business.... fraud.

Drove 1100 miles from Montana to Minnesota for the Timberwolves/Nuggets game on Friday night. They assured us our tickets would be ready by 5 pm which was only a couple hours before the start time of the game. We call at 5:10 to explain we hadn't received our tickets. They said they couldn't get a hold of the seller and would reissue us new tickets. Two minutes later I received an email saying they could not find other tickets so were offering a full refund as they said they tried to offer us replacement tickets but we declined. They never offered or gave us any information on replacement tickets. So after tons of gas and hotel money we were out of luck and my son and his two friends were very upset. So I ended up finding new tickets for over $500 a piece instead of $240. This site is a sham and the government should shut them down immediately.

Ripped off by StubHub. I understand every company must make a profit to survive, but the fees charged on my last ticket purchase at StubHub were outrageous. So much so that I have deleted my account and will never purchase from them again. The fees for the purchase on two tickets listed at $104.06 was $78.79, then I had to pay taxes on top of those charges. Like my wife said, "someone has to pay for those executives' Lamborghinis".

Horrible experience. I tried to list tickets for a game 1 day before a game with them and the tickets would not list. I received an email from Stubhub that stated (right after I tried to list), "Do not try to relist your tickets, we are checking to see if the listing is valid and will get back you in 72 hours." So, Iisted them with another account and sold them. Stubhub listed the tickets anyway, sold them and then charged me a fee. I called x 3 and they said, it may have been an error and they would have a supervisor call me. STILL WAITING for the call 3 mos later.

Stubhub then lied to me and told me the restriction was inaccurate. Come to find out it wasn’t. Stubhub refused to let me return the tickets which could then not be used, and the only option was to resell them. They still charged me the fees to resell, and when I explained the situation, they lied and told me they would recommend my tickets via the platform to try to get more eyes on them and then they didn’t. I tried getting a refund on the fees, asking for them to charge them back from the original seller who lied on the ticket details, but they refused. This was after 4 hours of runaround with their customer service department. Stubhub should be shut down.

Agreed with most of the reviews on here! The StubHub site advertises that Welcome to Rockville “tickets” can be bought and sold through the site. From my experience in 2023, they are liars! I posted a four day access pass, general admission (GA). The guy who “purchased” lives one half mile from me! I took the pass to him and put it in his hand! I helped him activate the wrist band, verified he had the “Rockville” app on his phone, and could see all the bands on the schedule. He confirmed he had provided his credit card info to Stubhub. I wished him well and a good Rockville Festival Experience, and we parted ways.
It’s now a YEAR later and I still haven’t been credited with the purchase price. I don’t know if the purchaser ever got his money credited back or what Stubhub did with the money, but my “sale” remains unresolved. Stubhub Help Desk/Customer Service (apparently named Chris) has not seen any “electronic ticket transfer “ because there is NONE.

He told me they would do an investigation that could take up to 72 hours before I heard back. I waited another week before I followed up with an email. Someone responded saying they were still doing an investigation. I waited another five days before sending a follow up email. (It has now been 45 days since the day of that concert.) I received an email stating it was still under investigation and it could take up to 90 days before I hear back.

Stubhub failed to deliver our tickets to a Garth Brooks concert and we travelled from Illinois to Las Vegas only to be disappointed that the customer service rep could not fix our issue so he refunded us the cost without us asking for a refund.

Purchased 4 tickets to Neil Young for a total of $1500.00. After receiving the original purchase email, I never received the tickets! I finally received an email two days before the event, but when I clicked on the link, the information said that the tickets did not exist! I entered the confirmation number, but again received a message that the order was not valid! Finally, I did find a way to access the tickets. It was so frustrating!
Ultimately we decided not to go to the concert and listed the tickets for sale, and successfully, well sort of, sold two of the tickets. When it came time to transfer the tickets, once again I could not access them to transfer to the buyer... Then, as I could not transfer the tickets, we were charged $350 additional dollars to credit the purchase of the two sold tickets! Why wouldn’t, at the very worst, we be charged the credit card fee of 3%, but no StubHub charged us for tickets they could not help us deliver. Additionally, if you try to reach customer service, it is simply an online nightmare! I will never use Stub Hub again! Stay away. This was a nightmare! Horrible!

Misleading company. Not trustworthy at all. Avoid buying tickets from them. They dont care for customer service, I was promised a middle zone ticket by the vendor and after I purchased it, I was given the last row tickets for $330/each when the same tickets on Ticketmaster were sold at $200/each. I made a mistake by not checking ticketmaster first. When I called claiming I have received a wrong ticket, I was informed there was no promise, when I can clearly see the seats promised was in middle of the section. Don't repeat the same mistake I did by trusting them. They will wash their hands from helping you.

Do NOT deal with Stubhub! Buy or sell your tickets outright. I purchased 2 tickets from Stubhub for a MN game and when I received the total there were additional service fee charges that I was NEVER informed of at the time of purchase so I had to sell them! I put on Stubhub to resell for the price I paid for them and at least would only lose the fees which was bad enough. I received a notice that they were sold and that I would receive a confirmation that they were accepted. 5 days went by, nothing stating that they were accepted so I proceeded to call Stubhub and emailed them. I have all my emails saved. The day of the event, still no acceptance received so I insisted on speaking to a higher up/manager at Stubhub. Of course the customer service agents can only do so much and NONE in the US of course! The gentleman I spoke to said if I didn't receive an accept email that I should put on to sell and "no worries".
The event was hours later, so I put them on again and they were purchased! I was thrilled that short of notice they'd be sold! I then received an "accepted" reply. A couple days later I received an email that I would be getting a refund for $37!! I paid $228 for the 2 tickets!?!?!!? I was furious so I called and did "chat" several times with my question. I was unable to get anywhere with the agents as they are scripted how to reply. I had to file a complaint with the BBB. DO not I repeat DO NOT do business with Stubhub or you will also risk losing a lot of money!!

After charging me $1666 for four tickets, the 'confirmation page' says the tickets will be available on 6/27. That is the day of the concert. They are clearly selling things that they do not physically possess, which should be illegal. I did not want the tickets for that price (I thought it was $417 for four), and their only remedy was for me to try to resell the tickets on their site (guess what, more money for them). But the tickets are not mine to sell, since they never sent them to me. And I'm sure that process would end up with their charging me the same amount again.

I have sold tickets on Stubhub for 10 years. When selling it’s typical to list your tickets on a couple of sites to give a better opportunity to sell them to a buyer. For the first time ever tickets to an event sold at the same time (within 5 minutes) on both sites. Since my tickets were Ticketmaster tickets, they automatically get sent to the purchaser, thus making it the Stubhub sale unfulfillable.
I called Stubhub immediately asking them to please cancel the sale so the buyer could have an opportunity to purchase new tickets. After being hung up on 4 times by them, and spending an hour just asking them to please do what’s best for the customer, they refused. I called back the next day, and they simply said that they will try and find replacement tickets and charge me whatever they feel like charging me. In my opinion, I should be responsible for the commission they lost ($40 / 10% of the sale) by me not fulfilling my order.
The customer ended up canceling the order on their end as they wouldn’t accept the tickets I offered in exchanged. Stubhub charged me $360 because they cancelled the order, instead of the $40 commission they lost. Jose the manager and all ten people I spoke with could care less that they are doing this. It is not legal to charge someone for something no one received. Disappointed that they are not willing to be reasonable. They do not care about their customers (buyers or sellers). Hours of wasted time and stress. They lost a guy who sells and buys a lot from their site.

I had purchased 2 tickets for the Arizona Diamondback home opener on March 27. It was a 7pm start time and I wanted to arrive early to make sure my daughter and I could witness all of the pregame activities including the celebration for winning the National League pennant the year prior. Stubhub does state they will usually not release the tickets to the customer until the day of the event. This should be a clear warning to anyone looking to purchase tickets for any event. Especially one that may very well be sold out.
At 11am that morning I called customer service to inquire about when the tickets would be available on the app to enter the venue. My credit card had been charged at the time of the sale nearly 6 weeks prior and that was not in dispute. After going back and forth with the representative for about 15 minutes, he finally told me the tickets had already been delivered. When I asked if that meant delivered in the mail or delivered in email, he hung up the phone. At that point in time, I knew if I wanted to attend the event for sure I would need to purchase tickets from another vendor.
I purchased 2 more tickets from Ticketmaster and had the tickets immediately downloaded to the app on my phone. I was fortunate that there were still tickets available. The following morning when I logged into my personal email account, I discovered the tickets had been released and delivered at 6:59 pm, 1 minute prior to gametime. I disputed the charge with Stubhub and my Capital One credit card but was told by both that since Stubhub had delivered the tickets "prior" to the event starting, they held up their end of the contract when the tickets were purchased.
When the tickets were released at 6:59pm the email stated, "download your tickets prior to arriving at the venue". The reason being that some venues do not have good internet service to download them. Both Stubhub and Capital One thought it to be a reasonable expectation to arrive at the venue, find a parking spot, enter the stadium and get to your seat in less than 60 seconds. Since the timestamp on the email was 6:59pm, one could make the argument that there may have only been 1 second to do all of the above stated. Since I can never receive the funds back for this event, I can only hope that this review will save someone the hassle in the future.

I wanted lawn tickets that cost $50 at this venue for others I know, but they were sold out so I decided to try Stubhub. I ended up paying $265 (the tickets incurred a total fee of $60), then my friend cancelled and I ended up not being able to find anyone to go with so I resold them using stubhub. I followed the instructions to sell them, and when creating the listing I left the browser in order to look for the order ID in my email, and when I returned the listing form was empty, so because of that I accidentally listed three tickets (one for $100 and two for $101 each). I made my price based on the website's recommendations and was aware that I would already be losing $75 if both my tickets sold for $101 each, as stubhub takes a tax off your sale, but I just wanted most of my money back ASAP.
They apparently not reimburse until 5-8 business days after the event, which is my fault for having ignored, but then when I went to contact customer service about a notification that showed up saying that I may have duplicate listings, the CS worker said that I "mustn't worry" and that my "case would be moved to the top of the list". I faced extra confusion after this because I was trying to follow stubhub's guidelines for transferring my tickets, and I never got a clear indication from them, or the site where my tickets were purchased from, that my tickets had successfully been transferred.
Then the next day I was notified that one of my tickets had sold, so I followed the instructions to cancel the transfer I had been prompted to make by stubhub, and re-transferred one ticket to the recipient. Then like 20 minutes later I got notified that two of my tickets had been sold, and I was confused because I only ever purchased two tickets for the show, via stubhub or otherwise. I called customer support again only to have the first agent put me on hold for a long time and then eventually transfer me to another CS agent who informed me that not only would I be charged for the additional ticket I never owned to begin with, but that the previous agent I had spoken to the night before did not actually take any action to resolve the duplicate issue.
So now I am out $175 and some change on tickets that should have been $50 each. I am only 20 years old but I have never had such a negative customer service experience, and I feel like I have been scammed by this service. I will likely never use any third party ticket buying/selling services and I most definitely will not buy or sell with stubhub again.

Why the hell would they not tell customers in the confirmation email where to find their tickets? Horrible company.

I purchased tickets that stated row 1 seats 37 and 38. I attempted to purchase additional tickets after inviting friends. Then, come to find out. The tickets were standing room only. I brought this to Stubhub's attention and they refused to make it right. They said that the information was only filler and I should have been aware they were standing room tickets. Even though the description did not state that. I was recommended to resell them and when I tried to put the row and seat numbers, it does not allow that. Explaining that to stubhub to make my point they would not accept any accountability. I don't normally, ever write reviews. If I don't like something, I don't use it. But the fact that they don't accept any responsibility for their actions or inaccurate descriptions is a poor business practice and stubhub should be held accountable. Reading all of these accounts. I assume they have never been held accountable. I will never use their service again.

Someone made a purchase on my account by somehow successfully logging in. I was notified of the purchase by my credit card company and immediately called them as well as StubHub. Stubhub acted swiftly by canceling the order. That being said, they also permanently canceled my account instead of just having me change my password. My issue with this is that I had previously purchased tickets with them for Luke Combs and am now currently unable to access those tickets. Their trust and safety team has been extremely unresponsive and I’ve found it very difficult to speak to any of their managers.
Their only response to any of my correspondence was to please call customer service. Call center representatives as well as social media representatives have advised me to file a dispute with my credit card company for my previously ordered tickets. I’ve done so but have still not got my money back and StubHub has done absolutely nothing to rectify the situation or show any empathy toward the situation. They have lost my trust and business. Steer clear!

Long story short, StubHub could not have gotten our tickets more wrong, and the ticket information in the confirmation email was correct----it was not until we got to the venue that we realized the seats were almost as wrong as they could be (not the main floor, as in the confirmation email, but literally in the last row of the hall). I'm still kind of stunned that StubHub could be so diametrically wrong. Never again will we use this service.

I purchased 3 Taylor Swift-Paris tickets on StubHub, for which I paid in full and then received a written confirmation. The Seller immediately cancelled the sale and contacted me directly, using my personal information leaked by StubHub, to try to get me to pay him directly for the tickets outside of the StubHub platform. Outrageous.
Then I notified StubHub and expected to be protected by their ticket replacement guarantee created for this exact fraud. Instead, StubHub offered me inferior tickets or tickets without even a section number or row number identified so no way of knowing if the new seats were comparable to the original ones (which I suspect they were not). Repeated requests to StubHub to clarify were ignored and as of this writing StubHub refuses to honor their replacement ticket guarantee policy despite touting it. Beware. Scammers all over StubHub who doesn't control the tickets and then worse than the scammers do not stand behind their claims.

I purchased tickets to a Milwaukee Bucks game online and was very excited about the location of the seats for me and my son. I completed the transaction online, received confirmation of the purchase, and received the tickets from the seller in an email a short time later. As I was traveling to the event with my son (Illinois to Wisconsin - 2 hours), I received an email from Stubhub saying "unfortunately the tickets from the seller are no longer available". They offered me "alternative tickets" that were inferior in quality along with a $2 voucher.
I paid over $322 for the tickets and $100 in fees to Stubhub alone. They gave me a choice of a refund or the inferior tickets. Since I was already halfway to the game, I had no choice but to accept the inferior tickets. I reached out to customer service immediately, but all they said was "sorry, there is nothing we can do". The company states that all sales are 100% guaranteed, but they offered no explanation or remedy for this situation. I am very disappointed with their service and will not longer be a customer.

We booked tickets for the NCAA Men's basketball tournament ahead of time. We received the confirmation then never received the actual tickets which they said they will be released via the seller on the day of the event. Event day came and nothing. I contacted customer service and they said that the seller missed the window to submit/send the tickets, a CSR even tried to call the seller and nothing.
I’m not sure how StubHub handles this but Ticketmaster sellers submit the tickets and once confirmed they are gone and immediately sent to the purchaser.. We were already at the event. The only options that StubHub gave us was to get a full refund or select other seats. The other seat options due to it being last minute game time were at the tiptop of arena at the back and we purchased lower level with no additional money back.. Not comparable. So we did get a refund which is nice but what about travel funds and parking and additional cost to attend an event we paid for already and thought we were going to. This is unacceptable. When we buy tickets they (either StubHub or sellers) should be made to submit tickets immediately. Even if it’s in a portal where we can’t access them until the day of the event.

Have used Stubhub for years and, in the past, the customer service was good. If the seller didn't come through, StubHub would find a replacement ticket and then charge the seller for any difference. Recently purchased tickets and then, a few weeks later, was told "the seller cannot fulfill the order." Spent lots of time on the phone with call centers in India or who knows where. Each person would say, "We'll send you a link to get replacement tickets." And then no link would come.
I go on StubHub and see plenty of tickets for sale...at a much higher price than I paid. Most likely the seller decided he could get more by relisting the tickets. Or he never had them in the first place. Finally called back after two weeks of this and was flatly told, "You are not getting the tickets. You can only get a refund." Luckily this is a local show, but what if I had booked travel around this concert? Bottom line: do not trust Stubhub. Their guarantee is no longer true. Date of experience: 22 March 2024.

Well, I decided to go straight through the venue this time and received my tickets right away. Then a couple days later after my purchase through the venue, I received tickets from Stub Hub... when I called StubHub they said they would investigate, the rep was rude and kept yawning as if uninterested in my concern.
Then I got online with a live chat agent again, explained everything and even sent them screenshots through email of my previous conversation with the 1st agent that told me my initial purchase was canceled. After the new chat agent investigated, they said that yes, there seemed to be some confusion on his end but that I could resell my tickets. So basically after they acknowledged that yes there was confusion on their end and I proceeded to buy a second pair of tickets... I'm now still responsible for paying for the tickets through StubHub.

I never received the tickets and was not able to sell, because they were not transferable from me to the new buyer.
Have spent over 10 hours with multiple customer service personnel explaining my case over and over and they would review and get back to me with a solution. NO response, had to call again and NO REFUND, they acknowledged it was their error. So much for 100% customer satisfaction guarantee and out $1200. I will NEVER use or suggest StubHub. I am disappointed by their business practices, customer and relationship services.

I was looking for tickets to MJ One on a few different sites, I was buying 8 tickets. I pushed the button to order and immediately noticed it was the wrong date. I then immediately called Stub Hub to cancel. The order was $1300. I was told, "Too bad." I said, "I’ll call the bank." They said, "The bank won’t help you." The bank said they will help me once it’s not pending and posted. I called back Stub Hub and said, "Since it’s pending, please cancel." They put me on hold for 36 minutes. I explained I have cancer and my friends are flying here to see the show with me. After their ‘meeting’ the answer was still no! I cried all morning. I hope the bank helps me. Don’t ever use Stub Hub!

I sold tickets on StubHub and then AFTER selling them, was told in bolded print that they do not pay the seller until 5-8 days AFTER the event takes place. I sold Taylor Swift tickets directly from the original vendor (Ticketmaster) via electronic transfer one year before the concert and now I have transferred the tickets to the buyer and permanently out of my possession and have to wait one year to be paid by StubHub. If the buyer wanted, it would be easy for the buyer to verify the legitimacy of the tickets. Now, StubHub owes me $4500 that I have no idea whether I will receive or not (I.e if the concert is cancelled or postponed there’s no guarantee I will ever be paid). This company has terrible customer service and bordering criminal policies.

I bought tickets from StubHub and the concert was moved to a different date. I was told the date by StubHub that was reassigned for my ticket and lo and behold when the tickets came, it was for a DIFFERENT date than what they told me. They said the organizer made the switch and there was nothing they could do. SO I decided to sell my tickets and StubHub said they would waive the service fees because of the change of date. WELL, when my tickets sold, they did NOT waive the fees and they said it was because "I did the selling wrong" and didn't follow their instructions (which by the way, were NOT included in the email). Customer service reps were RUDE and refused to even allow me to speak to a supervisor. They said everyone would tell me the same thing and I should be grateful I get any money back from my ticket sales whatsoever. DO NOT USE STUBHUB. Their customer service is abysmal.

I purchased a parking pass to a Georgis Bulldogs gymnastics competition thru Stubhub. The transaction went through and was told via email that the seller would send the ticket on the day of the event. I reached out to StubHub multiple times via the customer service chat but never received the email from the seller. When I requested a refund Stubhub told me no. Boooooo!!! I'll never use them again. $48 gone down the drain with no parking pass. Don't trust their advertisement that this is a safe way to get tickets! If you don't get them you won't get your money back!

Look, I've used Stubhub before and never had a problem with them. I've had a pretty good experience with them, and they always delivered. Until they didn't. I ordered tickets for a local Broadway show for my wife's birthday. She was so excited. The event had been sold out, so the natural option was to try Stubhub. I found tickets. They were expensive but worth it. I should have known something was amiss when on the Stubhub site I was informed that the tickets were in the section I was hoping for but the actual tickets with their position would be provided on the day of the event.
The day arrives and I don't hear anything from Stubhub. I contacted customer service and they informed me the seller had until a specific time to provide the tickets. That time came and went. I contacted customer service again and was given another time to wait until. That time came and went. I called again and was hung up on. I called a fourth time and was informed that the seller was having trouble loading the tickets to the Stubhub site. I was given the option to obtain a refund or try for comparable seats. It was my wife's birthday gift, so I naturally wanted comparable tickets. They tried finding tickets for us, but to no avail. I contacted customer service and shared my complaint with them, was placed on hold, and then was hung up on.
I called a fifth time, asking for a supervisor or anyone who might be of higher level/position to assist, but was informed that the tickets weren't available and that I would be given a refund. I am happy I was given a full refund, and I did inform them of their cancellation policy of receiving 120% of the ticket value, and they provided me with a refund coupon. So from a customer service standpoint, StubHub tried. But what was irritating about the entire experience was that this experience was even a possibility.
Why does Stubhub accept tickets from "sellers" who don't provide the actual ticket position in a venue? How do they allow a "seller" to list tickets to an event that they don't have?? And what do these people profit from this? I received a full refund and more, so that wasn't a problem and therefore they didn't receive any money. It was the fact that someone listed "phantom" tickets with the likely full realization that the people who purchased these tickets were going to be absolutely devastated when the tickets didn't arrive and they couldn't attend the event they were so excited about.
This happened to be the Broadway traveling Aladdin show and my 5-year-old princess-obsessed daughter was dressed up as Jasmine, so excited to see her on stage. We informed her that Jasmine wasn't feeling well and the show was cancelled. Overall, Stubhub failed because they allowed this kind of behavior to occur. If a seller cannot provide the ACTUAL ticket section, row, and number, they shouldn't be allowed to list it. End of story. Let this be a lesson to anyone else looking to Stubhub for tickets. Don't purchase them if there isn't an actual ticket number.

I bought NFL tickets in Nov, called 3xs and chatted more that about not getting the mobile tickets with GL code, was assured I didn't need GL code, that tickets I seen were good-- I should have trusted my gut because day of event 4 hours from home, could not get in venue, had to by from ticket master. THANK GOD tickets were available. Called to get my refund and customer service guy was a joke and not helpful, blame me, and then told me to email him the tickets I had and when I did said he could not get them-- He then hung up on me! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM.

Don't buy from STUBHUB. THEY DON'T GUARANTEE THEIR TICKETS LIKE THEY ADVERTISE EVEN AFTER THEY AGREE TO. IF THE BAND CANCELS THEY WILL NOT REFUND. They will give you the impression that they will look into it in hopes that you'll forget or just get frustrated and let it go. It's been almost three months of the runaround. $320 for 2 tickets to Rob Zombie on October 28th, 2023. They continue to play games.

STUBHUB IS A SCAM, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!! I purchased one ticket for myself to see Story of the Year at Starland Ballroom, and Starland said the ticket was invalid and could not be scanned. They said I wasn't even in their system when they looked up my name and email address. Starland said to download the AXS app to get the tickets that way, and there were no tickets available to me on the app despite the email from StubHub with the so called ticket.
Starland instructed me to buy a physical ticket at their window and to call StubHub the next day to get a refund since it was very late at night already. StubHub REFUSED to refund and on top of all of that time and frustration, they ACCUSED me of using the ticket anyway. Um, it was NEVER SCANNED!!! You can tell if a ticket has been used already!!! And why on earth would I pretend I didn't use the ticket and put myself through all of that stress and aggravation, (as if I have so much time on my hands!!) and would love to risk going to jail for fraud? TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW NOT TO BUY FROM THEM EVER!!!! THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN!!!

I cancelled my sale on Stubhub for a concert that was over 5 months away at the time. They ended up charging me the face value of the tickets just as a stubhub fee. There is no hope in recovery, through all their buyer/seller fees you think they would have more leniency. I am deleting my stubhub after today and suggest everyone does the same. Better off selling tickets via Facebook marketplace and maximize your return value.

Put tickets up for sale. They were purchased and then cancelled 30 minutes later. Called to find out why.
- Second excuse was that I didn't upload the tickets until two hours after the sale, so they couldn't be delivered on time. I had uploaded them 10 days previous when I put them up on StubHub. Additionally, I have e-mails showing that the sale and delivery were within the same minute.
- Third excuse was that I had the wrong date. The listing was removed when cancelled and they couldn't provide me with a copy of the listing so I could verify.
End result is that the buyer was able to download my PDF QR codes and then cancel. And THEN Stubhub charged me the full cost of the ticket sale. I used to use them pre-COVID and they were great. I can't believe what they've turned into. Just a quick search online shows that my experience isn't unique.

Stubhub sold us tickets and I received CONFIRMATION of seats with seat numbers included. A week later I was emailed saying those tickets are actually not available and to select alternate tickets. My choice was STANDING ROOM ONLY for the same price as what I PAID for seats. They kept our money for a week and when the prices went up they sold the tix to someone else. Then came back to us wanting us to pay DOUBLE for SRO than what SRO cost a week prior.. Can NOT believe what they do is legal and that they haven’t been shut down and fined. I am actually writing this FROM the game where we paid $800 for SRO and can NOT SEE A THING so we are siting at a table just waiting to leave. This could not have been a bigger rip off. Just waiting for the day they get sued for their fake business. Maybe we’ll get our money back plus travel expenses in the settlement. Absolute joke.

The CBS Challenge in Atlanta on Dec 16th was a highly anticipated event. In purchasing tickets two problems arose. I only wanted 5. Stub Hub said that was fine but I had to buy even number (6). The Stubhub service fee was $60 Per Tickets (all 6!). While that wasn't fun - paying that much, the worse part was the parking pass.
Ordered parking pass on same day over a month in advance. $46 after service fee and tax. Parking space was almost a mile from stadium. Stubhub said we would get the parking pass separately from a thrid party. It never showed. Morning of event. I went into stub hub system and was told to reorder parking pass. It never came. We drove downtown (In Atlanta) hoping our pass would show up. Nope. We found the lot (on a 2 block alley in not a very nice area). We kept driving towards the arena. We parked 2 blocks from Arena in a manned lit parking lot for $25.. I started request for a refund of parking pass immediately after the game. Two weeks later, I was told I had started the request too late. Sorry. No refund. Will NEVER use Stub hub again.

Had a situation where I had to call in because StubHub's site is the worst and it defaults to selling tickets in singles instead of grouping them, and doesn't give you any warning that you have done so. So of course my tickets sold as a single. Call and immediately get someone who isn't listening to me and talking over me. I have no problem with people in other countries but if they can't communicate effectively all I ask is that I can be transferred to someone who speaks my native language. They refuse to transfer and tell me that I must call back as many times as it takes to get someone. On my 10th call I was finally able to get someone who spoke well enough to help me with the issue. The total lack of empathy and care was astounding. I will never be doing business with StubHub again.
