    On 12/28/2016 at 4:00 pm I deleted a listing for tickets I listed for sale that did not sell. I then printed out a new set of tickets at 4:24 pm in order to go the game that was scheduled to start at 7:00 PM. At 4:31 pm I received a email stating my tickets had been sold. I immediately contacting StubHub to confirm the ticket sale as I had deleted the listing 11 minutes prior. I explained the representative what had just occurred and the representative advised me that the tickets had been confirmed sold and advised me not to go the game and that he would complete my sale to start payment. I then went home.

    Later that evening I checked my StubHub account and noticed the payment sale had been cancelled. I again notified StubHub of what had happened and the advice I received earlier not to go the game, the rep stated he was going to start an investigation into the matter. I was then assigned an investigator from the Market Place Investigations unit who again took my statement as to what happened.

    On 01/03/17 I was contacted by the Investigator who advised there had in fact been a software issue that was keeping postings active for sale that had been previously been deleted by tickets holders. She also went on to say however they were not making payment as the tickets were void when I reprinted a new set. I stated the tickets were printed after I cancelled the listing and was advised not to go to the game after their rep told me not. The rep never advised me to upload another set even after telling him I had a new set in hand.

    This company admits fault and will not take responsibility for their faults, instead takes millions of dollars from buyers and sellers. THIS IS FRAUD AND MUST BE STOPPED. I encourage all who fell victim to this corporate fraud contact the CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE to file a complaint. This type of fraud cannot continue as we the hardworking people should not be paying to make this company rich by deceitful practices.

    I purchased Canucks tickets two months in advance for 6 seats in a row. When I showed up with my guests we were refused entry because the tickets were already being used. It's an embarrassing situation that ruined plans for out-of-country guests. StubHub sold me fraudulent tickets and needed to investigate before issuing a refund. Stay away from this shady site. It's not worth the risk of not getting tickets and the hassle of having to deal with getting compensation for the fraud.

    I went on the StubHub site to find tickets to GreenDay. Picked the tickets and click to go to checkout and it went ahead and purchased the tickets with a charge of $56 handling fees without prior warning of the large charge. Also, said I would get a $20 discount if I pay with Visa and I didn't get this discount. Called customer service and got nowhere. They asked if I wanted to resell the ticket. I said 'no', but I didn't want to pay $56 dollars in fees. HATE STUBHUB AND WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.

    Website and iPhone app are both easy to use and fast! You can quickly choose the event, see availability of tickets and purchase them in matter of minutes. Tickets are available as a download (pdf) or on your phone. Love the simplicity! If you want to check out tickets for an event you can do it directly from your device. Easy to check and see what is available, unlike TicketMaster. It literally takes minutes for a complete viewing and transaction.

    I went online a few days before the event on impulse. I wanted to watch game 7 of the NBA finals and it was sold out. I got a good seat at a price I could live with. I had to create an account, which was a bit of a hassle, but I received an email pdf of my ticket and the ticket was valid in the venue. I had some anxiety about ticket fraud but it worked out for me. I'm going to keep using StubHub. I've never had a bad experience with them and I could always get good seats to sold out events. I use them once or twice/year. I wish I didn't have to have an account as it's a hassle to remember my login credentials since I rarely use it.

    I sold tickets on StubHub and got scammed. I had the same tickets cross-posted on Ticketmaster as I was trying to get rid of my tickets quick. They had been listed for almost 2 weeks. Then one night, they were purchased off StubHub, then a couple hours someone had purchased them off Ticketmaster. It seems a little fishy to me that my tickets were purchased almost at the same exact time by two competitor websites. I wonder if there is a way to see who bought my tickets, could it be the same person? I called StubHub and explained the situation, she stated the buyer could get replacements tickets but I would be charged a 40% fee! This must have been very tiny fine print because if I had known, there would be no way I would risk posting them on StubHub especially now that I read these terrible reviews on how they treat both their buyers and sellers. I wish I never would have listed my tickets. How is this company still in business?

    To begin, I was a first time seller on StubHub. From my understanding, StubHub was a legit ticket selling company. Boy was I wrong! My blood is still boiling over what is going on, CURRENTLY, with StubHub. I intend on filing a lawsuit, as I believe they need to learn to stop screwing over their customers. I listed tickets on StubHub a few weeks ago because I realized I had purchased tickets to 2 separate events in different states, and obviously couldn't attend both. In addition to posting on StubHub, I posted on Craigslist. The day after I listed my tickets (Nov 10), I was able to get in contact with Ticketmaster, who was kind enough to exchange my tickets for a different date. I then went on and deleted my listing on StubHub (or so I thought I did- apparently it never got deleted- some glitch in their system).

    On Nov 19 I receive an e-mail that my tickets on StubHub had sold- which as you can imagine my confusion thinking I deleted my listing. I immediately called StubHub and explained the situation and at some point I spoke to a guy on chat (I think before the call). They did not care that there was a system glitch and my ad never got deleted. I asked to speak to a supervisor SEVERAL times, and was denied the chance to speak to one. I eventually hung up in frustration. I did mention that I had exchanged my tickets for a different date, and they said if that was the situation that they would contact the seller and see if they would accept the new tickets instead. I never confirmed that I wanted to do this, nor did they ask if I was cancelling my order.

    Today, Nov 20, I had been in contact with the buyer. As her and I were speaking, we came to an agreement to cancel the order, but neither of us wanted to be charged. So I spoke to a girl named Tiffany ** via chat and she told me, Tiffany **: "if a buyer should contact to cancel, we would urge to resell instead of cancel." Casey: "What would happen though if she wanted to cancel? Would either party be charged?" Tiffany **: "but if you insist on cancelling, then a charge would be applied" Tiffany **: "if the buyer wants to cancel no one will be charged."

    After reading that message, the buyer began a chat with Rackeen **. She asked if she could be refunded since the tickets had not been mailed out yet. Rackeen responded with, Rackeen **: "Thanks for staying with me Jessica. I cancelled the order. Once your refund is processed you will receive an email, refund takes 3-5 business days to reflect in your account." IMMEDIATELY after the buyer showed me this chat message we BOTH received e-mails that the order had been cancelled.

    However, upon further reading my e-mail it stated, "Unfortunately, there was a problem with the UPS delivery and this sale was cancelled. It wasn't your fault, and we'll make sure that you're still paid. Though you may get additional emails from us, you don't need to do anything else. We're sorry for the inconvenience... As a seller, you’re responsible for delivering tickets on time and as promised. When that doesn’t happen, you may be charged an amount generally equal to 40% of your ticket cost. Charge Amount: $400 Charge to: Credit card."

    Now I was even more frustrated. Even though the buyer asked to cancel the order, I was STILL GETTING CHARGED $400?! How did this make ANY sense!? So, I immediately begin a chat session to figure out the issue. I got the run around, first saying the e-mail about delivery not being available was not meant to be sent to me, then they continued to say that I told them I could not deliver the tickets and that I cancelled the order. I brought up the fact that I was in contact with the buyer and I copied the message. They refused to answer my question and help me with my problem and IGNORED the fact that I KNOW what another representative said to the buyer. Did I receive a call from a supervisor, of course I did not. So I called and asked to speak to one.

    After more than 30 minutes, I finally spoke to a supervisor- which as I read in previous comments, all she did was repeat wording of policies and never ACTUALLY answered any of my questions. She said that when I mentioned in my chat, the day before, about having exchanged my tickets, that they started processing the cancellation of the order- granted WITHOUT my acknowledgment nor asking me to confirm, nor did I receive a single e-mail stating the order cancellation the day before. She insisted that the cancellation took place because of the chat that took place the day before.

    If that were the case, why did both the buyer and myself receive cancellation e-mails after SHE (the buyer) requested to cancel the order?! I received a copied message from the buyers chat with Rackeen ** at 7:19pm. When I went to check my e-mail I had a cancellation e-mail sent to me at 7:15pm. So, based on time stamps, it appears as though the order was cancelled because the buyer asked, and Rackeen ** processed the cancellation.

    The supervisor I spoke with refused to accept this, or even address my questions regarding this, and continued to repeat policy lines. She stated that the order was cancelled the day before by me, because I could not deliver the tickets. IF that was the case, their policy is to offer the new tickets to the buyer and see if they are interested. Did they EVER offer the tickets to the buyer, NOPE! She never received a single e-mail until after she contacted them via chat and asked to cancel the order. The supervisor continue to say that as a "courtesy" since I was a first time seller, she would offer to only charge me 50% of the fees for cancelling my order, which is still $200.

    I will be filing a lawsuit against this company, and I feel everyone who has been mistreated by this company should also file a lawsuit. What they are doing is ILLEGAL! They are just for profit, and do not care at all about their customers. They need to be punished! Not to mention, They are making a KILLING off people! I listed my tickets at $1000 (since they were going to take $100 I wanted to make back my money I spent). They charged $50 PER TICKET to the buyer, so she ended up paying $1200. So, just for listing my tickets on their site they get to profit $300?! Wow!

    I purchased tickets from StubHub. They were sent to an old address and I contacted them to see if the shipment could be changed. It was too late so I told them I would go to see if I could retrieve it from the old address. I was able to get them. I called StubHub and told them I had them and everything was ok. They invalidated the tickets and reprinted new ones without telling me. So the event I could not attend and tried to sell the only tickets I ever had on StubHub. They sold and I sent the only tickets I had to the buyer. The buyer goes to the event and the tickets were not valid to get in. StubHub gives them other seats and charges me with selling bad tickets. The seller who I bought the bad tickets from got their money. The buyer who bought the only tickets I ever had got to go to the event. The only person who did not go to the event or get the money back was ME. So I am out $1190.50 dollars because of StubHub!!

    I have canceled my acct with StubHub after 7 years. My last two experiences were horrific. First experience is that I resold four tickets to a baseball game after I purchased 18 tickets to the game. When I did not receive payment, I call S**Hub. They said the buyers could not get in with the tickets to the game. Of course the game was played in the pouring rain and my group of fourteen went to the game. I do not know what happened to those to whom I sold the tickets but they reported that they could not get in with the tickets. So the S**Hub response, "Our 'Truth and Security Dept' (TSD)" will investigate. After two calls to TSD they said nothing could be done and I am out 280 dollars.

    A few days ago I was browsing for Giant tickets. I saw tickets but found out that I would have to pick them up at another site and not at the ticket office. I NEVER SUBMITTED MY SECURITY CODE and left the site. The following morning I looked at my email and saw a note from Stubhub, "Your just a few clicks away from purchasing tickets to the game." Then I continue to browse my emails and found that S**Hub CHARGE my acct and said I authorized buying the tickets! Well after several calls, one lasting over a half hour to get a supervisor, they referred the issue once again to the oxymoron TSD. I got an email and a phone call saying my "purchase" was completed because they used a credit card on file with S**Hub.

    I called my credit card company telling them of the fraudulent action by S**Hub and the email stating I had to finish the process to get the tickets. In order to cancel the reported purchase they had to cancel my credit card and reissue it with another number. SO, I will have to go through all my accts and enter another credit card when I receive it by mail. Stop using S**Hub. Their customer service has gone down the tubes. Be ashamed S**Hub. You will eventually anger enough people to go under.

    I am a long time user of Stubhub. When they were purchased by Ebay they became increasingly more difficult to deal with. I recently listed a couple tickets and ran into bar code issues. This was due to an internal issue within the Stubhub system and I was told in writing how to proceed in listing the tickets. When the tickets sold, guess what... The bar codes still could not be verified. I offered to overnight the tickets 2 days before the event and they offered to cancel my sale and hit my credit card with a $150 for failure to deliver the tickets even though this was all their fault. After many hours I have gotten the $150 reversed and they offered me $100 credit towards future selling fees. Guess what... They are making it next to impossible for me to receive the credit. They want me to contact them after each future sale to get the selling fees reversed each time I sell a listing. There are other options out there. USERS BEWARE OF STUBHUB.

    I live in Colorado, so was surprised when I saw a charge for Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Clippers 4 tickets for $271.00 - I did not intentionally bring up the app, nor was I searching for any games nor any desire to use StubHub at all. Evidently while using the phone, inadvertently clicked the mobile app, it logged in and purchased the tickets and immediately to PayPal. I guess it can happen.

    But, what happened afterwards with StubHub personal is disgusting, they assumed I was looking at the app, and searching for tickets, and made a mistake. Their supervisors only offered 50 refund and 50 coupon, not a complete refund, because they do not own the tickets. However they were purchased over 2 hours before game time, understood that, but it was their app, which is totally insecure. What if it was for tickets worth $7000, would they offer 50/50 then? They don't put themselves into the position of the consumer, or have any empathy. They have not had anybody contact me after promising tech support to contact me about the problem. Use some other outlet for tickets.

    As promised you have not heard the last of me. I am sending you this email and will lay out in great detail the wrongdoing by StubHub. First let me start with the fact that I started my purchase for tickets to Insomniac's Escape Phycho Circus on 10/18/2016. These tickets were for my son's 21st birthday (which is today). All he wanted was to attending this music festival with 20 plus of this friends.

    The day after my order, I received a email saying that my tickets we unavailable, but don't worry StubHub is working hard to find me a replacement. A replacement was sent to us on 10/20/2016. However these tickets were unusable as whoever was in charge of finding new tickets failed to read the details of tickets and sent us VIP tickets. That would have been great but it states on the event website that "you must be 21 to enter with a VIP ticket". I had to go out of my way to return tickets that should have never been sent to me, as I order tickets for 18 and older.

    So back to square one. I had to call StubHub and explain the situation and hope for new tickets. I called every day until I finally got an email stating new ticket were being sent. The arrived on 10/24/2016. We checked and everything looking good. Wrong! At 4:12 p.m. I received an email of that my order was canceled. Yes canceled and the festival started at 4 that day!! StubHub said the seller canceled the order. As far as I am concerned the order was final. Paid for, shipping and received. I have asked every customer service agent I spoke with and no one has an answer as to why a seller can cancel on order after he mailed the tickets to me and after the event start time. (I do not believe the seller did this and after reading pages of very negative reviews, rather StubHub canceled the order and the penalized the seller to line their pockets as the buy is just out of luck.)

    I called customer service once I read the email, however the my son was already at the event going through the 2 hour process to get it. He was told that the ticket was already used to enter. As a spoke to customer service (while at work) I asked 3 times to speak with a manager. Was ignored each time until I final said no more. My son did not get in and I was left with figuring out how to get him home. He went with a very large group of friends and was devastating to watch as they all entered and he was left standing outside. The event was about 2 hours from home and we had to put more money out of our pocket to get him home.

    Customer service did issue me a refund and a new ticket for Saturday, well it seems that one was also a fraud. My son went through the whole process to get in on Saturday only to be told that again the ticket was a fraud. Again adding more expense trying to get my son home. And this ticket was emailed to me by customer service.

    So in short you have robbed my son of his 21st birthday celebration, this as caused him and I great stress both emotional and physical. He had prepared for this show for months. I have countless receipts, emails, text and post that are time stamped and dated detailing my expense and my son's anticipation for this event. A credit was put on my account, however I have no intention of using StubHub again as I can't trust I would even get in with tickets from your site.

    I am filing at small claims today but was told by the court house I must first give you the opportunity to hear what I want before the case can be started. I want the credit on my account sent to me. Compensation for having 4 terrible ticket experiences all for the same event should not be a credit on my StubHub account that I can't trust to use. You even issued me a fake replacement ticket for the first mistake. Why would I want to invest the time, money and emotions getting ready for a concert only to find out at the ticket gate, the ticket is no good. If StubHub actually cares about customer service, this should not be a problem.

    Beware of Stubhub charging sellers a "40%" fee for any and every error they can find on your listing to "protect the buyer" in case THEY need to buy "replacement tickets". They hide behind their user terms, which are buried when you sign up. As a first time user, I was selling Hamilton tickets and even though I had customer service help me throughout the process of listing & uploading tickets, making sure everything was listed correctly, I was never told to include "partial view". When the buyer rejected the tickets, and my sale was cancelled, I was never told I would be charged to replace them or the amount, $589.20 to be exact, more than 40%. Charge just showed up on my statement and they aren't issuing me a full refund. Total scam. Buyers & sellers beware.

    I purchased a $220 ticket back in September to go to my favorite concert featuring BASSNECTAR Halloween Party. I also booked a 2-day Airbnb, bought my costumes and I was ready to leave work early and head to Grand Rapids tomorrow afternoon. Tickets were never delivered and StubHub offered me a refund. GREAT. THANK YOU. I wait 2 months for this event for StubHub to get to me last minute saying "We don't have a ticket for you." For those that plan ahead out, there would understand what it would feel like to be in my situation right now. I don't want the money, I just want to go. I plan on getting refunded including my Airbnb cancellation fee. I'm down for small claims court if they don't refund it.

    Not professional, terrible planners. Why offer to ship the ticket last minute? Why not schedule it for an earlier time in case something like this comes up? I am very disappointed with their service, it is truly annoying when something like this happens, especially when you have been waiting for two months. Never STUBHUB again period.

    I listed my Austin City Limits VIP tickets on their mobile app which crashed multi times. When I finally listed the 1 day pass it sold it one hour. 1 day before the event Stubhub canceled the transaction stating I listed the event in the "wrong" bucket. The buyer made the mistake of not seeing the 2 tickets were listed for only one day. Not only did StubHub make money on me in the front end (they charged me $90, they charged me a cancellation fee which I did not cancel). When trying to resolve the matter, they were arrogant, unreasonable and not accessible.

    I found the name of the VP in charge of customer service to escalate, but they refused to transfer to him. I realize I may have made a mistake, but their choices for listing the ticket was extremely confusing and they took NO responsibility for their error in the transaction. I was unable to re-sell the ticket because they notified me AFTER the event took place. They made $230 on the transaction from me, would not refund the money and I was out $900 for the unsold tickets.

    I bought $220 worth of the highest level tickets I could for a concert. I bought them 2 months in advance of the show. 2 days before the show I hadn't received the hard copies in the mail yet so I called, come to find out my tickets were on hold because the seller had missed multiple deadlines for information and shipment. StubHub then told me they could still get me tickets but they would be lower grade and higher price than what I bought. The associate then found 1 more 2-day high quality pass so he canceled my order and tried to get me the other ones. These were a scam post. I was screwed out of the 2-day pass with no help just a "there's nothing else we can do". I then bought a 1-day pass to the same concert which was ALSO held by a scam seller.

    I am very dissatisfied with how they treated me. There was no help or anyone contacting me. I had to make every phone call myself, explain the situation every time to every associate I called and no one seemed to know how to help. I will never buy tickets from StubHub again. They claim they protect the buyer but you screwed me out of a concert I've been planning on going to for months as I prepared months in advance and you tell me 2 days before the concert that the seller fell through and there's nothing you can do. Next time when sellers miss deadlines or you know the sale is not valid anymore let the buyer know. You guys are unprofessional and the least bit helpful.

    StubHub is a company of scam artists.

When my order was canceled, StubHub charged me $1,500, claiming that this was the difference it cost them to find replacement tickets.

    Perhaps I misunderstood the way this website worked but I did not realize that they were legally allowed to charge unsuspecting customers more than three times the value of a ticket and although they state that there is a 100% money back guarantee, that is not really the case. And now that I am reading the reviews here, I see that I stand a good chance of my tickets not even being accepted when I get to the event! Their customer service sympathized but offered no real help, except that I should post my tickets and rip off someone else. Why is this allowed?

    I recently sold Disneyland Halloween party tickets on StubHub. The sale part was great.

I called StubHub for 2 hours to let them talk to the Disneyland agent and nobody answers. Next day I called the StubHub agent and she confirmed my 2 hours of missed calls but she failed to tell me she was on the east coast. After she said the information I provided wasn't good enough and I need to go back to Disneyland.

    This is ridiculous. The purchaser bought the tickets. Disneyland confirmed they went and in order to get their money back they just claim the tickets didn't work. StubHub is making me run around like a chicken with my head cut off to prove my innocence. If I don't provide evidence to their liking I will be penalized almost $500 and the purchaser will get their money back and they will have had a great time at my expense. Ticket Sellers Beware. Think twice before you sell on StubHub.

    Purchased Rolling Stones tickets for a 1-18-2016 show in Las Vegas. The tickets were over $1,000.00 and StubHub will not refund the money since it wasn't actually cancelled. They will "help me sell them" for some future event. Looking at their site, I believe there will be a charge for their services. This is outrageous, I will never use them again.

    Just a joke. I made a mistake, my fault, and within minutes I called to see if I can rectify. Got someone in a foreign country who wouldn't help at all. Same day my wife bought tickets and they sent her lousy tickets for the same price in a completely different section. They're trying to say the seller mis-represented them but today they said it was a glitch in their seating chart. Buyer beware. This is a scam website and it's not the first, second or third time I've had problems. This website makes you give at least one star or I'd live no stars.

    StubHub double sold my tickets for the last game of the (in Boston-Fenway) Boston Red Sox vs. the Blue Jays... Big Papi's last regular season game. We traveled from Toronto to Boston to see this game, on both of our birthday's. They claim that it is not in their error, but offered me a $900 credit to make up for my expenses for my trip (which cost $2000). Yet, a $900 credit would mean virtually nothing considering that Stub Hubs User Agreement states that "StubHub has no control over and does not guarantee the existence..." of tickets or other items. So, essentially we would be defrauded all over again.

    They did refund our tickets in full, but not before fighting really hard and having arguments with the Customer Service Representatives, the Escalation Dept., the "Other" department, another supervisor, Executive Claims Dept. and THEN the manager of the Executive Claims Dept... I spoke to 7 people and got hung up twice on. My husband and I would not have purchase the tickets from StubHub if we knew we were putting out the money for the trip for nothing. Recommendation: Never buy anything from StubHub and let your family and friends know to protect them as well.

    I had priced and sold a ticket for $90 on Stubhub (received $81). Unfortunately it had already sold and was transferred on another website. I called to Camel expecting to return the money and a possible few and they charged me $152.99! Their policy is a MINIMUM of 40% charge on undelivered tickets but as in my case the fees can go MUCH HIGHER. When I had reached out to the company to cancel and asked for specifics regarding charges the employee only stated that another department handles that service and she was unable to provide details. Certainly they want to make sure sellers can provide the tickets but I could have replaced the ticket for the buyer with better seats at that price. I would hope for greater specificity on charges, beyond the fact that I will be paying at least x percent.

    Horrible and arrogant describe StubHub. Their website is right in alignment with their customer service - unhelpful, confusing, and non-responsive. Tried to sell Steeler tickets through them. Was much more of a hassle than it's worth. By the way, if you try to cancel... 40% of the ticket value of what you may be charged. This is another publicly-traded company that cares more about the numbers on the street than they do about their customers. Poor design of website shows their lack of attention to the needs of the consumer.

    When speaking with customer service (after being booted off their "CHAT" 3 times... This equaled over an hour of wait time for a CHAT. Idea of CHAT is for quick responses, not hour long waits), they make you feel like you should have know what you got yourself into. Word to future consumers - Don't use StubHub!! The multitude of 1-Star reviews are accurate and a sad picture of what our business models look like in America. Money first - consumer last.

    I'm crying as I write this. Back in August my family and I decided to surprise my mom for her birthday. Well, she loves Tony Bennett so we all pitched in, and bought her 2 tickets (front row center: ROW EE; Seat 7-8) to the Tony Bennett concert at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Needless to say, she was super excited. Well, 2 months later, and I receive a call from Stubhub today notifying me that the seller does not have my tickets. This was unbelievable. I thought it was a joke. We did this whole presentation for my mom; we made this 10 page booklet of her photoshopped with Tony Bennett. We even made her fake tickets.

    So I called Stubhub, and was told that they are simply a marketplace, and that it is not their obligation. Simply put, they did not want to take any responsibility. They told the seller will be penalized with a fine, but how does that help me? I am utterly mortified. My poor mom thinks she's going to see Tony Bennett front row and center. How am I going to tell her that that whole celebration we had on her birthday, those pure unadulterated feelings of excitement are all for naught? I will never use Stubhub again.

    I bought a ticket on StubHub, but I had to sell it, so I sold it on the website. That worked fine, but I noticed you can list the ticket you already sold on StubHub again. My first impression was, "That's not right!" You shouldn't be able to sell a ticket that is no longer in your account. But sure enough it let me. The ticket then sold, and I told them, "Hey, this is a serious system flaw! It shouldn't let you sell a ticket that you don't have." And they said, "We let you sell the ticket even though you don't have it, because we are a ticket seller, so you can sell the ticket."

    And I was like, "That's not right! It shouldn't let people do that." And they said, "It's not up to us, it is up to the seller to make sure they are not reselling the ticket." And now they are charging me a fine for selling a ticket I already sold. But really, it shouldn't have let me resell this ticket! Terrible company, and they don't care about fixing this security issue at all. Once you sell a ticket, it shouldn't let you resell it! This is common sense!

    I placed an Austin City Limits ticket for sale on StubHub for $300. The ticket sold on StubHub before the ticket was shipped to me from Front Gate Tickets, the original ticket provider. Rather than have Front Gate send me the ticket, which I would then send to the StubHub buyer, I contacted StubHub's help chat (on August 8th) to ask whether I could change the shipping address at Front Gate tickets, so that the ticket was sent directly to the buyer. The StubHub customer service agent said yes, confirmed the address I was shipping to, and then told me that all I needed to do was provide StubHub the tracking number once Front Gate sent the ticket. As soon as I received the tracking number from Front Gate, I chatted with StubHub again to provide them with the tracking information. They informed me that they would confirm with the buyer that the tickets were delivered.

    I did not hear anything back from StubHub, and so I checked the tracking information and saw that the ticket was returned to Front Gate as undeliverable to the address provided to me by StubHub. When I saw this, I contacted StubHub again to let them know (September 22nd, I spoke with Ruth-Ann). When I contacted them this time they were very frustrating, asking me why I didn't just send the tickets with the UPS shipping label that they had provided.

    At this point I was very upset, since I had specifically asked about this and was told that shipping directly from Front Gate would be fine. Ruth-Ann asked me to have Front Gate re-send the ticket to my address, at which point I could send the ticket to the buyer using the shipping label from StubHub. I told her I wasn't sure whether Front Gate would do this and she assured me several times (in chat and on the phone) that my sale was protected by the StubHub FanProtect guarantee. I contacted Front Gate and learned that the ticket was sent to will call at Austin City Limits and that there was no way for them to re-send the ticket to me. I immediately emailed back Ruth-Ann and asked whether I should put the ticket under the buyers name at will call but did not receive a response back.

    So, I contacted StubHub another time (September 25th) to ask them what I should do at this point. After speaking with an agent for a brief time, I asked to speak to a manager. At which point I received a call from Jerome, one of the supervisors. Jerome informed me that since the tickets never reached the buyer they would not pay me for the sale. He reviewed the original customer service conversation and admitted that the original agent gave me incorrect information. However, despite the fact that at every step I followed StubHub instructions, they would not pay me for the ticket sale. When I asked, they also refused to send me a copy of the conversation for my records.

    This was the most frustrating customer service experiences I have ever dealt with. I followed StubHub's instructions at every point in this transaction and now am left with a ticket at will call in Austin that I cannot sell. They should take responsibility for their agents giving out incorrect information and pay me for the sale that I made as they say in their FanProtect guarantee.

    Sold some tickets on Stubhub. Didn't mark they were side view as I didn't see that on the ticket. Customer returns the tickets. Stubhub says they can charge 20% to 100% of the ticket value as a penalty. So I figure I have to pay the difference between the replacement tickets and my tickets. Basically, they charged more than two thirds the cost of the tickets which seemed extremely excessive. I asked for proof of the cost of the replacement tickets and they refused. So basically they can charge you a penalty whatever they want. They will not provide you any documentation on how they came up with the penalty. You just have to accept it. Customer service does not care, I can tell from their tone they get a lot of complaints. The worst company.

    I ordered tickets for a concert. Good seats, expensive but I splurged. I waited and waited - tickets never came. I ordered them 2-3 months before the concert date. Called StubHub and was told they were delivered. Now being delivered and being received by me is two different things. According to them they were put in my mail box.

    I called them again and was informed I was basically out of luck. I could repurchase but that was it. I asked if the seller could have them reprinted and was told they checked with him/her and they could not be. This was strange. If they were purchased legitimately why would you not be able to get them reprinted? It is not like they would worry that several people would be in the same seats getting in for free. I would not buy from them again. If you have to at least make sure they are sent certified and that they can be reprinted if something happens to them. This was a very expensive painful lesson.

    The title may sound overbearing but it is definitely the truth. I will start off saying that I made a mistake and I understand that I should pay for it. I sold tickets on StubHub that I had listed for both Ticketmaster and StubHub. I had a change of plans therefore I couldn't anymore and decided to get them off my hands quickly by listing them in both, both below what everyone else was selling (by about 5 dollars). I didn't realize they would get sold so quickly and had to cancel my order that I sold to StubHub.

    I called them letting them know that I no longer had the tickets and understood that I need to pay the difference. I spoke with a representative over the phone, getting her to walk me step by step through process and was told I would need to pay the difference between my ticket price and the next one within the same section and better row. I sold my tickets below for what I got them for at 115 each for 2 so I was suppose to get 230 dollars. I talked the representative to let her know to not pay me out and just bill me the difference.

    She told me it was too late and my check had already gone out (I chose to get paid via check) and that I will get billed the value of the tickets and the difference. I had talked to her and gave her examples of tickets that would work within the area and she agreed that all would fit in the description of "Same section and better row." They were all 5-10 dollars more expensive than mine and I understood that I should be paying around 20 dollars from it. I asked the girl if she wanted me to take some screenshots of what I was seeing and keep track of these sells in which she said it was unnecessary.

    Couple days later I got billed 270 dollars, which confused me a bit since I expected to only be billed 20 dollars more. I once again called them and they explained to me that I would need to speak to claims about this issue and afterwards told me that it most likely because it was less than 20% of the ticket price and therefore I got billed the remaining amount. I had already submitted to something to claims and they kindly told me that since this was my first mistake, I would get 25% off. Up to this point, everything was done very professionally and cleanly.

    Upon the 12 days I should've gotten my check, I never got anything so I followed up with StubHub. No one can explain why I didn't get it and calling back in circles for 3 weeks straight telling me that I would get a call from someone (which I never did). After talking to 8 customer representative, a claims representative and a supervisor who had reached out to accounts, my answer was that somehow the ticket they found to replace mine was 270 dollars more than my original tickets I sold and my check was never mailed out because they were billing me the difference.

    It was completely OPPOSITE of what the first girl had spoken to me about and was just ridiculous and unbelievable. I just sat there listening to him explain to me that somehow, out of 1300 tickets in the whole arena that was on StubHub, the "best match" one that they found was more than double of my tickets, in which I have photos of tickets that were better than my seat in the same section for only 10 dollars more. Afterwards, I asked to have my recording because they misinformed me in the beginning and I wanted proof that is what happened and there was more than 100 options at the time of my call with seats better than mine that was less than double of my ticket price. The supervisor said no and that claims won't reopen the order to look if they made a mistake.

    I already knew StubHub was making money off the buyer and seller as the middle and they are allowed to. But this so called "Sourcing" team of theirs, just makes things up and then they bill you WAY over the amount. I'm very upset and literally feel like I just got scammed. I might as well got someone to scam the tickets off my hands because I originally bought the two tickets for 250 dollars. I just wanted someone to enjoy them and get some money back so I didn't have a complete lost.

    Now, I have to pay more than the actual value of the tickets I bought in the first place. BIGGEST SCAMMERS EVER. They won't even let you listen to your recorded conversation afterwards to prove what your initial phone conversation was. I'd suggest to just stop buying and selling on StubHub and just sell it where you originally bought it from (most likely Ticketmaster) and forget a 3rd party site where they can just publicly scam you.

All within a half hour time I corrected the problem to put the correct date. In the meantime, I received a call advising me of this also. I advised the representative that I had fixed this and he advised that this was ok and a little while later I was charged $198.00. I then contacted StubHub at 866-788-2482 to resolve this issue and was told that my tickets were sold and they charged me on my debit/bank card for the tickets that I was selling.

    I then told them this was wrong and was told they would have to file a dispute to be reviewed. I told them this transaction was not authorized by me and I was told they would review this and he would mark it as a rush and it should not be a problem for me to get my money back as this amount wiped out my checking account. I then put in a dispute with my bank and they were also going to fight this charge. I heard nothing back from them for the rest of the day, no email no phone call.

    On 9-9-16, I tried calling Stubhub at the 866 number several times and it is now disconnected. I started a live chat with a representative and was told that there is no one I can talk to as they would get back to me and she doesn't see this taking long to resolve (I printed a copy of our conversation). She informed me several times that she completely understands and they will have to call or email me and she can't do anything for me at this time. She said for a mistake like this there is usually a 20% charge to the seller but in my case the buyer found other tickets so it should have been ok.

    I was given the runaround and nothing was resolved in this conversation and I am still out almost $200. And to top it off my bank canceled my card and is now involved. I am at a loss for even calling them as the number is disconnected now 866-788-2482.

I offered to refund them the price they gave to me but they still charged me 50% penalty for no fault of mine.

At no point did I cancel my order online, or request for a cancel, they had told me they left a voicemail (which I never got) stating they will be canceling my order, and it's based on my inquiry. There is nothing they can do about my fee, and there is no one else to speak to.

    Save yourselves the hassle and do not sell on this site. It is buyer protected but it totally screws the sellers. If the buyer decides to scan the tickets twice, they can just say they were not able to get in and to them it looks like someone used the tickets to get in once already, and the second time it was scanned it was rejected, and therefore the tickets did not work. At that point it's upon you the seller to prove that the buyers were actually able to get in. Good luck proving that. I don't know how they can possible cancel my order based on an inquiry. Speaking with their customer service reps is like speaking to a brick wall, they just regurgitate their policies and copy paste sections from it.

So I am now stuck PAYING them TWICE what I listed them for due to their "written policies", which are quite convoluted. They are looking out for themselves only, profiting off of normal people, and they are also keeping the ticket brokers in business. Their policies are non-negotiable. Want to bill a reasonable fee?

    The worse ticket buying experience in my life. Originally told on Dec 18 tickets would be mailed to my selected address and delivery preference which would arrive no later than Aug 12th. Message came Aug 1 tickets seller would now contact to deliver tickets before concert. I kept a copy of every document from these gentlemen. Snafu, I'm not in States. I don't have the phone with the US sims card with me from Dec. My better half who was to bring the tickets was to be flying out right after the 12th. When I called StubHub at first NEVER was I able to speak to the seller just agents. I left my new number as StubHub says seller must contact me. Seller never called the new number in Europe. Never sent an email, never reached out first. Now it's 24 hours before a concert which I have flown half way around the world to get to see, a concert I still have no tickets, and no contact from seller.

    So I called StubHub back after much time on phone. Got a number from them for seller. Called him several times and left messages with no response from the seller. Finally he picked up and informed me when he got to the concert city and determined a place to meet he would set up time and make arrangements. Seller was to call me back the next day with the details on the day of the concert before 11 am. Of course he never called to set up time. Didn't answer when I called him at 12:30 pm nor 2:30 pm. Finally 3 hours before concert I got him to answer the phone a second time. He directed us to meet at the lobby of a hotel which to our surprise he was not even registered. So we and others arrived to meet him in a hotel lobby and he was not there but was late by 10 minutes and the show was to start in 35 minutes.

    When he arrived he proceeded to send us with a runner to walk us into the venue because as he explained our tickets were "paperless" and we would be scanned inside. At the venue we were rejected from entry as not valid. Runner then ask us to walk back to hotel to retrieve another card to scan which should admit us. OK 109 degrees outside in Phoenix so let's go for a second walk now on concrete and asphalt. We and another couple refused. The concert was to start in 20 minutes at this point. The runner returns now with paper tickets? WHAT!!!! Our bonus is we get to wait in line for long admission queues for a second time. I spent several days trying to obtain my tickets, long distance charges from Europe, wasting time on the phone worrying if I was going to miss a call and did I just waste thousands of dollars. NEVER NEVER NEVER use this site.

    Let talk about the 10% fees were actually charged to my card at a rate of 20% when all was said and done. IMO a good lawyer could have a field day with these people in a class action suit. We got in, we saw a wonderful concert and the trip ended on a positive note which was a huge surprise after what STUB HUB put us through. Neither I nor the other couple were aware of anything stating this was a third party sale. The most unprofessional ticket sales I have ever experienced. NEVER AGAIN.

So I do a chat w/ StubHub and the rep says "oh I apologize for that, your payment wasn't TRIGGERED" whatever tf that means... so she had to manually "trigger" this payment and now I have to wait ANOTHER 5 days for my payment.

    They didn't even offer a faster method of payment seeing as though it was THEIR FAULT. They charge such high outrageous fees anyway. This is the last time I will sell on their site, I'd rather stick to Ticketmaster or TickPick for resales. BTW, for any of those looking to BUY tickets, do not use StubHub, they are all markups... scalpers' best site (if they aren't going through what I just went through). If you want tickets at face value you will need to search other sites not resale sites. Anyway... lesson learned!

    I will never, NEVER, never use StubHub as a buyer or seller ever again! Let me preface this by saying that I am not a typical seller. I'm more of a buyer. I am a music junkie, concert addict, and this was a newer experience... or now known as a very hard, difficult life lesson. I chose stubhub because they claim to protect both the buyer and the seller. I bought some concert tickets many months before the actual event, in San Diego, which is two hours away from me. Due to it being one of my favorite bands, and they had no scheduled closer shows at the time, I bought them. It just so happened they did eventually announce closer shows to me and again, I bought those tickets.

    July rolled around and I decided to sell the tickets to the San Diego show since it was further away from me. I chose stubhub thinking I was safe (boy was I WRONG). I thought everything went without a hitch... that is up until 2-3 weeks following the show when stubhub emailed me telling me that the buyer couldn't gain entry and that I had 48 hrs to get a scan report and explain why is it this happened. A) What?!? B) How the hell should I know? C) I'd really like to speak to someone directly because this just makes ZERO sense to me.

    Following this email, I replied with a response of just pure confusion and so much worry. I reached out to the venue in San Diego (as asked by Stubhub) and spoke to the manager there, who was extremely helpful (to be clear this helpful person was NOT stubhub) in educating me on all the ways one can be thoroughly ** scalped even on stubhub.

    She mentioned this has occurred quite a bit, and that it is possible that since I sold my tickets on stubhub via PDF, that it is impossible to trace how many times they are printed. When I asked how I'm supposed to explain this to stubhub, she said it would not be far fetched that a buyer bought my tickets, printed them a few times and either A) sold them to other people who gained entry before they did (trying to scam others and failed) or even B) that the buyer had friends try to gain entry after they already got in or gave the tickets to friends and then they tried to get in, making it look as if they themselves didn't get in somehow.

    Let me explain. That scan report that stubhub is asking for provides VERY little information. It just shows 4 people tried to get into the venue, what time, and where. From what I understand two people came in, and about 15 minutes later two more people TRIED to get in but failed. How this happened, I don't know. I sold these tickets once and only on stubhub. Now I have to pay the original selling price I sold them for on stubhub, a fee to stubhub (the price they say that goes to buying tickets for the buyers to get into the venue despite not getting in with mine (?)) and not mention now I'm losing the original cost I paid for the tickets because I didn't go. Essentially I paid for tickets over and over again so that 4 strangers could see show they didn't even have to pay for!

    I sold my tickets ONCE on a supposedly trusted website (HA!) and stubhub could care less about it. When I phoned them after receiving emails upon emails (I wanted to speak to someone to understand this situation and how something like this happens) I was met with the most lackluster, careless demeanor. I called it out and said that it felt like they didn't give me the time of day to "prove" I wasn't a scammer. She glazed over my statements and essentially said they've done their investigation (in 2 days?!?) and they've got to side with the buyer and basically take their word for it.

    No understanding or compassion that I'm getting totally and completely screwed over. I guess in the end if you're a buyer you're golden, especially if it's PDF tickets. You can claim whatever you want, if you're a slimy, p.o.s. who has no problem lying and saying you didn't get entry when you did. You can get a free show and totally screw over a complete stranger and never have to even deal with the unjust mess that you've created. Must be nice to be the middle man stubhub. Just collect all the money and not care which is the right and wrong party. Never again will I suggest or give my business to stubhub. Leaving this comment as negative as my bank account will be!

    I wound up buying a ticket for a concert from a third party, which I was not aware of, stupid me, and was charged twice the value of the ticket. No, I didn't read the disclaimers, I assumed it was just another ticket company that sold tickets directly from the venue.

Well it was the day of the event and tickets were not uploaded. Spoke to StubHub and they told me that sellers can wait until tickets are sold before uploading but most sellers upload right away.

    After getting the runaround from StubHub I finally got a refund for both orders but yet the seller isn't out any money and they kept his order in tacked because they said it is not his fault. Now I get that entirely but StubHub should CLEARLY state (which they do not) if certain tickets are not uploaded yet that way the buyer can know that if they buy these tickets they won't be available right away.

After a couple of weeks, StubHub contacted me to tell me they were sorry but the person who sold their tickets to me didn't have them anymore... Consequently, since they didn't have any of the same VALUE on their website or in Get Me In (the only other website they are allowed to substitute) from only for the same price you paid for them, they had no choice but just refund me!!! This nasty experience cost me an additional £100 in order to replace the tickets after I received the refund. They HAD tickets for the same event and same seating available, but the sale prices were too high for them to substitute (about 30 more). This in my eyes in UNACCEPTABLE, and I will never buy from them again.

But here I sit with no money.

    In addition, while their site shows that I sold the tickets, it has never once said in their payment processing section that they are processing a payment to me.

There is very little alignment across their departments, as I have been told several different things by different representatives. Additionally, they have very apparently made clerical mistakes on an alleged check that was sent out - ex. incorrect payee on the check, no addressee name on the mailing label - which they not only failed to take accountability for, but also have not followed up on.

When I could not make the planned trip to Monte-Carlo, I placed 6 e-tickets for the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters quarters/semis/and final (2 each) for sale on the UK Stubhub site (they were the ones handling that event). Initially, I had problems uploading the tickets... There was some kind of security error. I changed the security permissions on the e-tickets and managed to get them uploaded, and then all looked ok online. When I went online to change the price a few days later, the application kept telling me there was an error, "Try Again".

    When I tried again, the same error box came up. I contacted both the US and UK help desks numerous times and both help desks told me all was ok with the listing. My concern was that no one could actually buy the tickets with this error. I tried to perform a fake buy to see if anyone could access them but they do not allow you to buy your own tickets. I asked the help desk to perform a fake buy to make sure the offering was accessible, but they said they could not do that.

    Additionally, Stubhub took down my listing 2 days before each event day even though they had the e-tickets in hand. The help desk told me I should have been able to sell up to the last minute in that case, but they never did anything about it. Mine were the only tickets that did not sell in the end ($1500+ worth of tickets) and they were excellent tickets - Row 3. So I was out the money for the tickets. Then a few days later I receive a call from AMEX telling me they had a fraudulent charge for UK air tickets and pizza on the card I had provided Stubhub. Since Stubhub was the only company in the UK I had dealt with, I assume access to my card info was obtained through them. Now I am going through the inconvenience of having a new AMEX card issued.

I received 2 general admission tickets and when I called she stated all she can see is general admission tickets. The place I clicked to purchase the tickets is no longer up. This place does not take responsibility for what they are selling. Beware of using this company for purchase of tickets!!!

    I have used StubHub for quite some time, and one day they accidentally charged my credit card three times. I called StubHub and they can't seem to figure out why, so I disputed my credit card. A few weeks later I get an email saying my account is locked, so I called and they said it was because of a chargeback on my account. I gave them the reason why I issued the chargeback, and they finally admit it was their mistake, so they said if I drop the chargeback they will refund the charges, so I did, but they did not lock my account. Keep in mind that I had purchases and tickets for sale on the account, so time couldn't be wasted. I was told my account would be fixed within 72 hours, I waited, nothing happened. I called about 10 times, and I got the same ridiculous answer, a department is handling your situation and they cannot be reached by phone, what is your best number for them to contact you, no kidding I got this answer so many times!

    Weeks passed and I kept getting the same repetitive response. So finally I was told to create a new account to sell the tickets that I had, so I did, then eventually that account was locked as well. And when I called and told them what happened, I received the same message, over and over again. Finally I received a response from them saying I am banned from StubHub. I DID NOTHING WRONG, STUBHUB CHARGED MY ACCOUNT FOR THEIR MESS UP! Their customer service is terrible and their company is flawed!

    StubHub is a dying company. The only reason their company survives is because Ticketmaster has print-off tickets, but what is funny is that Ticketmaster is actually getting rid of print-off tickets, and StubHub will not have anything left. Ticketmaster re-sale is the best way to buy tickets, they just need to update all their stuff and they will soon be the powerhouse in ticket resale. With StubHub the buyer can complain about anything they want and get their refund if they wanted to. It is nuts how flawed their company is.

    Before the following event, I had spent well over $25,000 over the years buying tickets on Stubhub. Bought 6 fantastic dead center tickets for NFR Finals months in advance. Order was confirmed and set to be delivered about 4 weeks before the event day. Fast forward to 3 weeks before the event, I still have no tickets nor has tracking shown up.

    I call in. Customer services reaches out to the seller. CS comes back to me to tell me that seller who happens to be a "large seller" does not possess those tickets, even though he created a shipping label on UPS, and that they will have to forward my order to their fulfillment department but not to worry because I am covered by the fan protect guarantee and I'll get equivalent or better. (Rep emphasized that 99% of the time the buyer will get better seats.) I pointed out that the demand had gone through the roof since the time I purchased and had no intentions of paying more, and again I was pacified by the rep telling me not to worry, that when they find substitute tickets it'll be at the seller's expense.

    So I wait another week. I call back, still nothing that they've found. They offer me a refund. I tell them no, they've had my money tied up for months and want them to abide by their own fan protect guarantee and promises made to me. Flash forward 2 days before the show. I get a call telling me all that is available in the entire arena for 6 tickets are these seats all the way in the upper level... they literally waited until there were no options. At that point they basically tell me in so many words to take it or get a refund. I begrudgingly tell them, No, I need what I ordered, flights and hotels have been booked, and I pointed out that there were plenty of options available 2-4 weeks out when they knew about the issue, they just refused to buy more expensive tickets. I'm met with, an I'm sorry but there is nothing they can do about it now.

    We go in circles with this for a while. I hang up, and email one of their higher ups whose email I had been given weeks before. I never received a response to that email. Instead, I received the following: "This email is to notify you we had to cancel order for the National Finals Rodeo. I understand you were willing to wait and see if there are other options being posted in those specific sections you were referencing. Unfortunately there are still no listings within those sections and if there were to be listings in those sections we would expect they would be priced higher than those which are lesser seats. For the inconvenience we will provide you a full refund and $150.00 coupon to your Stubhub! account which will be available to you immediately. If you do see tickets in the sections you are interested in, you can feel free to order them. If you have questions or concerns please call us at 866-788-2482."

    So in other words, their fan protect guarantee is garbage. They have no guarantee. If you are smart and buy tickets before the prices go up, and then happen to get screwed by a seller, they do nothing more than give you $25 per ticket as an inconvenience... and I have a pretty good hunch that they still charged that seller a lot more than $150. My original order was for around $300 a ticket but the prices for equivalent tickets 3 weeks out were at $450 a ticket. 2 weeks out they were $550, 1 week out they were over $600 and eventually they sold out... except for the ones that were in the upper level. And that's how you lose a long time customer.

    I have been a long time Stubhub customer who has purchased and sold tickets for many years on Stubhub. I have tickets to the 2016 Final Four which I purchased for my own use but will not be using and want to resell. Because these tickets were purchased through the NCAA, they reside in an electronic account with Flash Seats, another ticketing agency that Stubhub does business with. Stubhub has provisions in place to allow these types of tickets to be resold but they are restricting the resale of these tickets to only "very large volume ticket sellers" (aka, ticket brokers and scalpers). This is essentially "screwing" the casual seller, like myself, who is just looking to dump tickets they can't use. Stubhub clearly has no interest in providing a service to a casual user and I will be looking to take my small, casual ticket business elsewhere.

    I went to purchase $200 tickets for the NCAA tournament which was 4 days away. When I checked out I clicked delivery address was different from billing address. Well the computer system they have programmed didn't care about that and completed my order by sending it to the wrong address. I then proceeded to call Stubhub right away to change the delivery address. The woman I talked to on the phone said she changed the delivery address to the correct one so I didn't worry about it anymore. Yet when I checked the delivery tracking the next day it was once again being delivered to the billing address. Now I have 1 day to somehow get tickets over 800 miles to my destination. This means it won't happen and I have wasted $200 due to the incompetence of the Stubhub employees and glitches in their electronic purchase system.

    On March 2, 2016 I purchased tickets for a concert to be held on March 14, 2016. On March 7th, the performers cancelled this show along with some other tour dates, and stated that refunds would be available from the "point of sale" where the tickets were purchased, or the tickets could be used for a future date once the show was re-scheduled. When I contacted StubHub for a refund, I was told that because the concert was to be re-scheduled at a later date, and was not "cancelled", I was not eligible for a refund. I explained to the StubHub rep, that the show I purchased the tickets for HAD been cancelled and I was requesting a refund of the $595.00 I had spent. No luck.

    I have since contacted my credit card company and filed a dispute and I have also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. If this change/cancellation had been my doing, I could see not issuing a refund. But I purchased these tickets in good faith, from StubHub, for a specific date, and since the event on this date has been cancelled, I am entitled to a refund.

    I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with some tickets for a band he enjoys listening to.

I wanted to stop the order from going through (I have not received the tickets yet) so I messaged StubHub's customer service system. I spoke with one of the girls who had told me that I would need to go on StubHub and resell tickets that I did not have in my possession yet. (I did not understand how I could upload them on time if I will not be receiving them for another ten days).

    So I asked again if there was any way to get a refund or stop the order and she kept going around my question telling me that I would need to sell my tickets (which once again were not in my possession). So then I asked to speak with a supervisor and she would not let me. After multiple attempts, I had given up and asked her for her last name and her supervisor's name so that I may be able to reference them in the case that I do call them. In the end, she ends the chat on me without answering any of my questions and not providing me with any other information. Be forewarned!!:(

    I bought 4 tickets to a show on Stubhub.com. My brother and his girlfriend ended up not being able to go so I listed 2 of the tickets on Stubhub to resell. I couldn't get the price change feature to work on their website, so I had to delete the listing and re-post it each time I wanted to change the price. (very annoying) I kept changing the price to a lower price because the show was getting close and I didn't want to get stuck with extra tickets. I got an email one day saying that my tickets were sold. Good, all done then. Well that's what I thought anyway...

    About a week later I got an envelope from Stubhub. I knew it was the check I had been expecting, so I didn't bother opening it right away. Then a day or so later I got another envelope. I thought it was weird, so I opened them both and to my surprise they had sent me two checks. The one that had came before was for an incorrect amount so I figured they saw their mistake and sent me a new check with the correct amount, so I discarded the first check.

    A couple days after the show I noticed my credit card had been charged for the amount of the first check plus another charge for $38. I called Stubhub to ask what was going on and they said the amount for the check was because they sent me that check in error (and assumed I cashed it). Then they said the $38 was because I "double sold" the tickets and they had to pay for 2 other people to get into the show. What?! I never at any point "double sold" any tickets!

    After spending over an hour on the phone, they finally conceded that the mistake was on their end and agreed to refund me the entire amount. Oh, and this was only after the first representative passive aggressively accused me of possibly "giving the other tickets to friends." What?! The second representative was nicer, but was still implying that this was somehow my fault saying that I re-listed them several times. Well no **. I re-listed them to change the price because the price change function wasn't showing the price change whenever I refreshed the browser!

    After thinking about what could have possibly gone wrong here, I've concluded that their website is full of issues/glitches. First of all, if I have tickets for sale, and they sell, then why would the site let them sell again from the same user? If I go in and try to re-list them for a different price thinking they haven't sold yet, then the site should say something along the lines of "hey buddy, they've already sold." Apparently, that's not what happened.

    Bottom line, I'm due a refund, they say it's on the way, but we'll see. Also, I feel bad for the other two people who thought they were going to have great seats next to me like the two people that DID buy my tickets. Wasn't their fault either that Stubhub's site is screwy, and I would be equally mad if I showed up and they said my tickets were no good.

    After reading some of these other reviews, I'm wondering if this is why so many people think they bought "fake" tickets. I don't think they're fake, I think the website sold them twice and the second party to show up gets the shaft. Use Stubhub at your own risk! I know I'll never use them again. If I can't get tickets directly from the vendor from now on, then I guess I'm just not going, because this has been a nightmare.

    I have purchased a lot of tickets through StubHub. On three recent purchases, I was very surprised at what happened. I purchased tickets for three baseball games in Anaheim. I live in Chicago. The tickets for the first date were said to be delivered by UPS. It wasn't until after I purchased the tickets that it became clear that UPS would deliver the tickets to my home a few days before the game - when I would already be in California. Their website says that UPS delivery is "In progress" - an outright lie since they won't be sent for nearly two months. So I would advise anyone purchasing tickets from StubHub for UPS delivery to make sure that the tickets will arrive in time to be used.

    The tickets for the second and third dates were said to be "electronic" delivery. It wasn't until after I purchased the tickets that it became clear that "electronic" delivery was on the same day as the game. For both of these purchase, their website says "Waiting for upload." It should say "Waiting two months for upload" since that is the truth. So apparently I need to bring a computer and a printer with me to California if I expect to download these tickets, print time, and use them. When I contacted StubHub, they assured me that I could pick them up in some office somewhere in Anaheim. Well, I don't expect to have a car in Anaheim. Apparently Stubhub thinks the best use of my vacation time is going to their remote office THREE TIMES to get tickets for three games.

    I won't say any more about StubHub. I shouldn't have to. Anyone using StubHub should take the necessary actions to avoid being surprised. If tickets aren't to be sent by UPS in a timely manner or available for "electronic" download in a timely manner, then StubHub should have a pop-up to make sure that the buyer knows what the buyer is getting into. Stubhub's response to these issues is that they are not the seller. They are just the middleman. Well, they get a HUGE fee for being the middleman, and it would be good policy for them to make sure that the buyer is aware when delivery of tickets bought months before an event will, in fact, be made 0-3 days before the event. That's called "customer service" - something that StubHub apparently does not understand.

    This may or may not happen, but I purchased tickets for a price better than what are being sold for Bruce Springsteen on StubHub. I already have received my paper tickets for another show through Ticketmaster. I asked StubHub, as the tickets have been delivered to the StubHub seller already, but he hasn't shipped them, if he finds a higher price for them and cancels last second (he can do so 2 days before event) what prevents him? The seller is penalized 20%, but if he can make a significant profit by cancelling, 20% is minor. I get a refund, but there would be no chance I would get equal tickets for that show, as there is such a high demand. The moral... very little prevents a scalper from cancelling a sale, if he can make more money somewhere else. That said, the customer service agent was very helpful at trying to relieve my angst.

    Stubhub used to be easy to use. Listing tickets was relatively painless and the site gave all the necessary information. When you listed a price it gave you the price the buyer would see and the payout the seller would receive. For some unknown reason, Stubhub decided to change the site! Now, when you list tickets you can't see the price the buyer sees. You have to enter a price and use trial and error. Also, the new site doesn't show other listings. You have to open another window and search listings as if you're a buyer. Further, the edit feature is so hard to use it is almost impossible to change the listing price once it is set. It seems Stubhub has employed programmers who don't have a clue about selling tickets. I'm a season ticket holder who can't get to all the games so I sell some of them. I'm looking for a different site because I'm done with Stubhub.

When we got to the stadium we were told tickets had already been scanned by the original seller. We were told to call StubHub. StubHub rep said they couldn't help us without the order number. We ended up watching the game at the hotel. We flew from NY, it cost me over $3,000 and when we got back StubHub refunded for tickets and refused any reasonable compensation. I wrote letters and emails but nobody contacted me. I have used StubHub in the past and I can't believe they made no attempt to resolve this or to reach out to a repeat customer. I was willing to pay more for their services because I believed in the company. I will not be spending any more of my hard-earned money with them.

    Purchased a ticket to a measly Florida Panthers vs. Nashville Predators hockey game. I receive an email saying I could gain access to the game using the Stubhub app. I download it, walk in, and the ticket doesn't work. I call Stubhub customer service and they tell me that I needed to print the tickets at home. (The email said to use the app.) Luckily, there was a Fedex a few blocks away, I have to pay for computer access and to print a document. The tickets weren't in my Stubhub account. Call customer service again (they're in India now). Ticket was sent to my email again as a PDF attachment. Walk back to the arena, game has already started and same thing, ticket doesn't work.

    Don't even go to an arena's customer service desk looking for help. Not their problem. Stubhub is a secondary ticket seller. Stubhub wouldn't issue me a replacement ticket and just refunded me the money. This is the 2nd time something similar has happened. Word of advice: use Ticket Monster, Seat Geek or Tick Pick instead.

The reason they were rejected was because the OWNER OF STUBHUB printed these tickets (as so we did) to get his money back. I now just lost 1,000 (what I paid for these tickets).

    Bought concert tickets for a birthday because I believed their webpage that the seller will send the tickets off at least one week before the event. Asking them about the expected sending date, they said the seller says they don't expect they can send them off one week before the event. But that makes no difference. If I wouldn't get the tickets one day before the event, I will get my money back. They aren't interested at all that it makes a difference, if you know that you will get tickets compared that you only know that you get either your money back or you can go to the event. Don't use this market place, if you really want to go to an event. There is a high possibility that you cannot go, because it makes no difference to Stubhub. They even make a profit, if the seller doesn't send the tickets, because the seller needs to pay a fee to Stubhub in this case.

    On Sunday 11/08/15 I purchased tickets to a football game on Stubhub. My purchase was confirmed, credit card charged and two days later I received an email informing me that the seller of the tickets determined that the value was worth about $300 more per ticket, therefore my purchase was being cancelled. They reversed the credit card charge and gave me a credit to Stubhub in the amount of half of my purchase to use on a future purchase.

    This credit was not enough to cover the new cost of the ticket and after about 6 calls to Stubhub customer service, they credited another $150 and thinks this should suffice. I had to buy new tickets and even with their "credits" I still had to fork out another $150 to get tickets to the same game, worse seats. The original tickets were in the "100" level, replacement tickets now in the "300" level. Their agreement with sellers shows that they are able to adjust the price of the ticket before it is sold. These tickets were already sold to me, then the seller decided to jack up the price. UNETHICAL definitely. Illegal? We'll find out!

    I have used StubHub over the years and usually was well satisfied. Not anymore! Their website is one of the worst I have seen. There needs to be far more clarity to the various options. A couple weeks ago, I was selling 4 tickets to a college football game and just before the deadline, I went in to lower the prices...didn't work. I clicked several options several times and never did get to the page to lower the prices. I went round and round in the same circle. The deadline came...and I blame StubHub for interfering with the sale of my tickets. 'Inept' comes to mind.

    This week I was selling 2 tickets to a college football game. I listed them last week near the lower end of what others were priced at. Yesterday, I lowered the prices to where they would have sold and quickly. All looked well... Today I received an email reminding me of the upcoming expiration date of my listings. I opened that email...to see that StubHub had me with NO listings!

    I tried to re-list them at a definite selling price and again went around and around in the same circle. By the time, I did figure it out...the only tickets that could be listed had to be the PDF ones. I have tickets-in-hand, thus that sell was also prevented by the illogical, unreasonable, ever-changing, obscure means that StubHub offers. Thanks StubHub!!

    The options are not clear. I pick one and then proceed only to learn it won't work, so I try the other one...no explanations are ever present. It asks if I want to go to StubHub Classic...so what in the heck is that? Why cannot there be a tiny paragraph somewhere to explain it and why or why not I would go there? Pages come up that partially block what I need to see. Why? This is totally user-unfriendly...so stay away if you are smart. There are now other companies to use and that is what I shall be doing.

    I listed on Stubhub once before. The tickets did not sell and I ended up giving them away. But I went through the process and it seemed very easy. I am a concert-goer who occasionally buys tickets and cannot attend due to work/illness, etc. etc. Bought tickets to Foo Fighters which was a sold out show in Phoenix on 9/25/15. Was very excited about going. Fell ill with food poisoning that same day at work and rushed home to get the tickets listed for sale. I had "e-tickets" and the pdfs would not accept. I created a pdf out of the pdf. They were ETICKETS. Bar code was very clear and scannable as well as all numbers etc. I priced them at face value even though they could have sold for more but I just wanted to get my money back. They sold within the hour and I saw the email stating so and saying that I would have my payment in 7 days.

    Well, the next morning I check my email and 2 hours before the concert started it said that the sale had been cancelled and another email stating that I was being charged $30 for non-delivery of tickets. I immediately called and was confused! How could this happen? My tickets were genuine and no one called me. Well Stubhub does not ask for you to check or update your phone number or information. No matter how long it's been since you last logged in. The phone number they "supposedly" called I have not had in over 7 years! They didn't email me only to state the sale was cancelled. I lost out on the tickets and the money. They claim that the buyer decided that they looked scanned and they wanted a refund. So they GAVE the buyer my tickets and that person could have used them and then they claim that they gave them another set. I have no recourse? They told me it's "buyer protection". Where is the seller protection?

    They should have someone checking all tickets posted to make sure that they meet their standards or do not accept them! I was told by stub hub that their site is "self-service" and it's my responsibility to make sure that all of my info is updated and the tickets are uploaded correctly. SELF SERVICE? They charge hefty fees for self-service! I would have been better off meeting someone in a dark alley than using stub hub as I was robbed of my tickets. Stubhub owes me $135 for their negligence.

They have them split into two groups; General Admission or Annual Passholder General Admission according to their website, screenshot of the outrageous prices and how they split the tickets into two groups included in this review below.

    On StubHub if you purchase the General Admission ticket for the Halloween event at Disneyland through them you get nothing but to go the event. No free parking, no three hours early entry. Now if you purchase the Annual Passholder General Admission ticket for the Halloween event at Disneyland through StubHub you get free parking and 3 hours early entry prior to event. StubHub told me that it all depends on the seller and the seller controls what type of tickets they have.

    Tickets to the Halloween event at Disneyland include free parking and three hours early entry prior to event. It doesn't matter what price they paid or if they are an Annual Passholder or what day they got them for, those two perks are INCLUDED in each and every ticket, Disney is just nice like that. I have included screenshots below show prices and what is included in the tickets when purchased with Disney. I really think this is crappy that the ticket sellers on StubHub are taking away what SHOULD be included in EVERY ticket on top of charging a outrageous amount for them when they are only $69-$84 dollars through Disneyland.

    So warning to anyone thinking of purchasing Disney Halloween tickets through StubHub, don't do it, you will be ripped off! Just do it through Disney!

    With this information I delivered the ticket and waited for the Tech department to get back to me. About a week later I was informed that there was no error on their part and that there were subsequently three changes made within an hour. I asked for proof from their Tech Dept and was told that I would receive it within 48 hours.

    On September 18, 2015, my daughter purchased a Chris Brown concert ticket. We received an email confirmation and instructions how to print the ticket. The next day we tried to print her ticket but it stated that it was in progress. We checked our credit card and we had been charged $154.35. Her friend, who also purchased on Stubhub received a phone call from them stating that they could not get her particular seat but ungraded her instead from lawn approximately 30 minutes before the concert.

    We never received notification that there was an issue with my daughter's ticket. When the "in progress" did not go away, we contacted Stubhub who informed us that they were terribly sorry but she would not be getting a ticket because the ticket she purchased was fraudulent. I had 6 girls going to the concert and spending the night at my house with my daughter. The girls left with another mother hoping to get a ticket on site.

    This is completely unacceptable. They offered to refund me my money and gave me 1/2 credit for a future concert. Why would I ever buy a ticket from them again if I really don't have a ticket? I thought their service was to ensure that tickets were not fraudulent. Finding out 30 minutes before an event that you don't have a ticket is completely unacceptable. In addition, they charged me and now I have to wait for 10 days. I believe this is a fraudulent business practice that should not be allowed.

StubHub agent and I chatted online, and she promised to call me "in a few minutes." One hour later, I got a cheerful note saying that StubHub would be refunding my $. Never got the call, although we waited for it (instead of getting on my boat). Bad service; no more StubHub for me. I know UPS screwed it up, but StubHub exhibited little passion for customer service.

    I have always purchased my tickets for any event through StubHub and moving forward, never will again. I mostly attend football games and never have had an issue until now. I purchased UPS tickets and paid extra to have them shipped to my home. I LOVE the traditional actual ticket (not the print-out). Most often, the instant download or electronic tickets are cheaper but it means a lot to me to have the actual ticket so I always choose the UPS option when purchasing tickets.

    Not only was my order delayed, I purchased them Aug 7th and just received them yesterday (Aug 25), which normally wouldn't be an issue but when I finally received them, they were paper, print-out tickets. First off, if I wanted paper print-out tickets, I would have intentionally purchased them and had them on Aug 7th! I reached out to StubHub and all they kept telling me was that the ticket holder never had the actual ticket and that they would refund my $10.50 shipping fee as a CREDIT to my StubHub account, not even the credit card I purchased the tickets with.

    If I had known these would be print-out tickets and not an actual ticket, I would not have paid for them. It was listed incorrectly on StubHub and not what I had ordered. I even called the football stadium directly to see if they would exchange these print-outs for actual tickets and they said they do not support StubHub for reasons like this. False advertising and their customer service is terrible. Never booking with StubHub again. Very Disappointed.

    Original lower level seats did not scan at gate. After 30 minutes with support we were given 2nd set of tickets. Only one of them worked at the gate. In addition, I realized they were one seat apart anyway. Another 30 minutes with support and we got our 3rd set of tickets. WORST SEATS EVER. We got in and realized our seats had a "side view", even printed on the tickets. These are nowhere near the level of quality seats that I had paid for. We missed the opening band and watched the concert standing up in a common area of the stadium. The view there was way better than our seats. May as well have purchased nose bleed tickets.

    Paid A TON of money to take my 8 yr old daughter and her friend to their first concert to see Taylor Swift. We bought four floor seats that were supposed to be front row right next the second/backstage near the back of Levi's Stadium. When we got there, there was no second/backstage. The seat chart/stage layout on Stubhub was not correct, and we specifically chose the seats to be close to this back stage. The girls spent the whole night standing on their chairs and still couldn't see anything. If we had known that the seats were this bad, we would have bought cheaper seats in the stands and have been able to see the whole night.

    I recently purchased tickets off StubHub for the Alabama Tide vs Razorbacks game. I paid out little over $2,000 for 5 tickets. Although I figured it was a lot it's a once in a lifetime experience for me. So upon receiving the tickets I discovered the face value for the tickets was around $85 a piece.

    I posted two tickets for the Fleetwood Mac concert in Los Angeles. Each ticket was posted for about 200 dollars, for a total of 400 dollars. Within seconds of posting the tickets for sale, they sold and I was sent an email by StubHub that I would receive the proceeds of the sale minus commission. About 12 hours before the concert, I get an email from StubHub saying the sale had been cancelled and that I would be charged applicable transaction fees. The email was cryptic and gave absolutely NO INFO on what the problem was.

    Since I could not use my Smart Phone to repost (this is another of StubHub's tactics to make it more difficult for customers who are selling) I had to call StubHub to find out what the problem was. After waiting a long time on the phone, I reached a customer service rep who told me that the tickets were posted in the "B" section but they were in the "F" section. I was told that it was my mistake.

    It was hard to believe that I posted them incorrectly as there were three people at the computer when I posted them. Besides myself, my two tech savvy nieces were watching me post the tickets. You would think one out of the three of us would have noticed an error in posting. StubHub tells posters of tickets to check to make sure their tickets are posting correctly by going online to check the listing. Since my tickets sold so quickly after posting I did not have time to go in and check. And once I got the email I thought the transaction was completed.

    The only option I had after StubHub had cancelled the sale was to repost them. Since I was away from home and only had my Smart Phone which can't be used to post tickets, I had to drive home to repost the tickets. Now we are only hours before the concert. I kept dropping the price of the tickets but they did not sell. Meaning I lost the value of the two tickets plus StubHub had the audacity to charge me a fee related to the cancellation.

    I called Customer Service and they had their tech team look into it. The tech team told me it was my mistake but could offer no proof. After wasting too much time with Customer Service and the tech team, I wrote a letter to management. I asked to see a screen shot of the ticket information I had posted the first time in the transaction that was cancelled. I got a call from Customer Service saying that "at the time the ticket was posted, they were unable to provide a screenshot of the posting." She finished the message by saying something about StubHub's great Customer Service.

    Therefore StubHub cost me about 400 dollars in lost tickets and fees. They were stubbornly non negotiable about the whole thing. And could offer absolutely no proof of my error by showing me a screenshot. So how do I even know it was my mistake? Why did the tickets sell so quickly and then why did it take them more than a day to tell me I made a mistake in posting. It was one of the most frustrating experiences I have ever had. And reeked of bad business practices. Most reputable companies will listen and try to offer a solution. Not them.

    And by the way, I have noticed so many online complaints about StubHub. Better Business Bureau, Ripoff Report, YELP and ConsumerAffairs to name only a few. The amounts lost are significant-most over 50 dollars and some quite high. Yet StubHub keeps right on doing "business as usual." Do they have any pride in being a reputable company. I will never ever use them again. STAY AWAY or RISK LOSING MONEY- POTENTIALLY A LOT OF MONEY.

    I recently purchased tickets to a show in Chicago and, while the process was miserable, the aftermath is a disaster. I attempted to place an order on two different credit cards, both with no balance, and they were declined. After figuring that there must be something wrong with their system, I went straight to the venue's site and purchased full price tickets from them. The show started at 8:00. At 9:35, already at the show, I received an email from Stubhub that my order had been successfully processed and my tickets were ready to be picked up over 45 minutes away from the venue, and 25 minutes before the show was over.

    I reached out to my credit card company about this and, while they initially refunded my card, they have since sent a letter stating that the charge will now be added back on to my account. The reason being because Stubhub remitted information showing that the order was placed and the confirmation email was sent (never mentioning what time it was sent, of course). While $94 won't affect my life one way or another, I refuse to let this company steal from me and, most likely, many other unassuming customers.

    After ordering my One Direction tickets and parking tickets online from Stubhub, I read the reviews and started to get concerned, and wanted to get a refund. So I emailed someone about that and although they only said I could resell them on Stubhub myself, I got a little irritated with that, but I finally decided to call and talk to an employee about that. He was very nice and described the rules and explained it's against the rules to sell the tickets many times to many different people, like I was fearing- you can only sell them once to one person through ONLY Stubhub OR a different website. Then he went as far as to go into the names of the two people I got my tickets from, and he told me they were known to buy tickets and resell them (for a lower price), and they don't have bad reviews for screwing people over.

    So I decided to risk it anyways, and just hope for the best. When we got there, although we arrived later than the concert was supposed to start, we got into a closer parking spot than I was assigned, just by showing my ticket for some parking spot at the concert. Then came the nervous part where I was waiting to be told that our tickets have already gone through the gates. No problem, we got right in! After reading all the bad reviews, I realized I was nervous for nothing. I got in both for parking and two concert tickets for a good price for pretty good seats. The first concert I've been to went very well, all starting out with good prices and easy access to the concert through Stubhub. I'll probably continue to use Stubhub more times when I go to any more events in my future. Thank you Stubhub for making my first concert experience a good one before the concert even started!

I never said there were seats, only that the tickets I bought were described as ROW 1, which they did not deny.

    Really? I am not an expert in Hyde Park concerts, never been before, and I trusted Stubhub to ensure that if a seller claimed it was Row 1 then it truly was. Stubhub agreed with the seller that they had to use "Row 1" to indicate these were premium tickets. So now you know - you cannot trust stubhub.

They're a reseller marketplace, so they're not always to blame for your problems. It's not their fault when you show up to a gig and your ticket is fake. It's the seller's fault.

    Whether you want to buy or sell on StubHub, I have two words: just don't. When buying, you get ripped off. They let sellers price tickets WAAAY above what they're really worth, and do you know why they don't care? Because the higher the ticket price, the higher the commission they make from the sale. The price you see when you buy a ticket on StubHub not only includes the fees they make the BUYER pay, but fees they make the seller pay as well! So it's literally a DOUBLE rip off!

    When selling, you still get ripped off (unless you're the type to jack up the price of your tickets to compensate for this fact). And then, if the event your ticket is to get canceled for ANY reason, even though it is no fault of your own, StubHub will STILL debit your bank account for the cost of that ticket! And this is with or without your consent! They can't deposit your fare from selling tickets into your bank account, but they can debit from it? Such **. Then, they had the nerve to tell me that if I disputed the charge with my bank that they would immediately deactivate my account! And, on top of that, they use a shady company such as PayPal to process their payments. That should tell you what kind of company this really is. NEVER AGAIN.

    Was excited when my boyfriend called me to inform me he bought us tickets to the Brooklyn Nets playoff game for Saturday, April 25 at the Barclay center. We both rushed our way to the center. We waited on long lines to enter. Waited for about thirty minutes when the Barclay attendant scanned our tickets a huge red X alerted him that our tickets were no good. He directed us to the box office to speak with a representative. She grabbed our tickets and began to looked for our tickets on her computer. By this time we are about 15 minutes late to the game. She tells us she can't do anything for us and stamps "void" on our tickets.

    She suggest we call Stubhub to receive a refund or reissued tickets. My boyfriend calls Stubhub. The Stubhub operator answers the phone and my boyfriend states to her the issue he were having with the tickets. The tickets were not working and were not gaining us access inside the stadium. The Stubhub operator puts my boyfriend on hold about 10 minutes when she takes him off of hold and explains to him that she has other tickets she could reissue us. After so long and super late to the game, my boyfriend had no choice but to say "fine."

    She puts him back on hold to reissue the tickets that are nowhere near where we wanted to sit or knew where we would be. By this time we are about 30 minutes late to the game. She puts him back on hold for about 15 minutes as we wait for her to explain to us what will happen. She tells him that the system is down and she doesn't know why but the tickets are not being reissued because of system failure. So a refund was issued. We stood outside the stadium for about an hour only to be issued a refund.

    It was disappointing to know that we traveled 2 hours all the way to Brooklyn to watch the game and the tickets we purchased on a "secure" site was not working.

    Then to make matters worse after leaving the stadium and returning home we receive an email that tickets would be reissued however the tickets had the same barcode as the previous "non working" tickets and we were clearly told by the operator the system was down. This experience was highly upsetting and it has left me with a distrust and I will not be recommending the use of Stubhub to anyone and will not be using this system in the future.

I mean if I have to jump through hoops and go through this amount of trouble just to register on the site it scares the ** out of me of what could happen if I would have actually bought tickets for an event after reading some of the complaints on here... Notice this has never happened to any other site I register with or pay for things with. Everywhere else it a pretty smooth experience... so it's like Stubhub just doesn't want my money so I guess they got their wish.

    I purchased tickets for a concert for April 16, 2015. I drove over 4 hours away to concert. Upon arriving at event I found a sign posted on event stating concert was cancelled and to contact seller for a FULL REFUND. I was NEVER notified about a cancellation. I immediately contacted StubHub. They did not even know about a cancellation. Upon further communications with StubHub I was informed that I would not get a refund since the concert was rescheduled for 08/21/2015. I am not able to attend in August nor should I be expected to. I lost over $250 in costs for gas and hotel to go to the event. StubHub never even acknowledged my experience. They made no apologies...

    StubHub CHEATS their customers. StubHub can get reimbursed from whomever they got the tickets from so I am entitled to a FULL REFUND- just as the sign posted at event stated. I encourage anyone who has had a similar experience to file a complaint with the BBB, the Federal Trade Commission, Rip-Off Report.com and any online complaint forum. If enough people complain, StubHub will eventually become accountable for their illegal and immoral actions.

    The seller failed to upload the tickets. Stubhub was unable to contact the seller. They offered "comparable" replacement tickets; not as good as what I had ordered. They did give a full refund, but I wanted to see this game in the seats I had ordered. I will never deal with Stubhub again; they cannot guarantee they can deliver the tickets you order. Rated lower than one star.

    I bought 3 tickets for the Miami Open last weekend ($200 each) and when submitted the payment the screen showed a message saying that the tickets were no longer available. I get back I purchased 3 tickets from another vendor. 2 days later I found out that they charged me for both transactions even when the first one gave me a message that the tickets were not available anymore. I have been calling and trying to get a refund for that transaction and they keep saying that it was my mistake. I will never use this site again! Beware of these people!

    I purchase tickets from Stubhub, which stated seat 13 & 14, payed extra. Get there standing room only. Meaning the original ticket price were $39.50. Why would I pay $160 extra for these tickets, when the website had tickets much cheaper. They even had a sitting chart!

    I bought 2 tickets for a total of £375 for a The Who concert in December 2014. This was cancelled the day before. On the day at 9:03 I received an email stating the rescheduled date. I then tried to contact Stubhub to see if I could get my money back but found out that that the best I could do was to resell the tickets through their website... This, in spite of paying around £200 in fees to Stubhub.

    I put the new date in my diary. The night before, I went online to print the tickets, only to find out that the concert was taking place the night before the revised date I had been given. It was too late for me to go so I called Stubhub in the USA. I was promised a call back in the morning... nothing. This after 40 minutes on the phone.

    I called the UK number this time and was told that another email had been sent out 15 minutes after the first (in December) changing the rescheduled date to the day before. Another 20 minutes later, I was told that my case was pending and I would receive another call in 24 hours. 10 minutes later I was called by a different employee (who claimed to work for the management team ) to say they had no responsibility. They finally offered a £20 Stubhub voucher, which to me Implied that they felt responsible. I declined that as I want a full refund. When I asked about at least refunding the Stubhub's fees/taxes, I was told certainly not. I was also told that if I emailed a complaint, it would only go to the same team to which the man I was speaking to belonged.

    I did not lose any money (I hope). I was in Ottawa and had some spare time so I bought 2 very good tickets to a hockey game about 1 hour and 10 minutes before the game. I waited about half an hour for my tickets to be printable and got e-mail notification that order was cancelled. I was asked to call them. I called and spent 20 or so minutes on the phone trying to find out why and was told that my account was being investigated (I could no longer log on). I was told the tickets were no longer available and I could buy new ones. Only lousy to very expensive tickets were available. Even if I did buy new tickets it was too late to get to the arena at this point. I was better off going to the game and looking for someone selling on the street. Wasted my time and screwed up my evening plans.

    Tickets didn't arrive by Tuesday when they were supposed to, or indeed Friday when the concert was. UPS showed only a label was printed and NEVER sent or intended to be sent. Stubhub didn't help when I contacted them the day before the concert to cancel it because my ticket hadn't even been sent yet and they replied with something about a "fan protect guarantee" - which basically means I go back onto the Stubhub website, see my concert is now a "past order" and there's no button or way to file a claim or complain. I wrote an honest review which is what the first couple of lines of this are and they wouldn't publish it.

    The service is a lottery, you have zero guarantee of getting a ticket you paid for, you might well get your money back but Stubhub don't care when that might be. I had to file a claim with Paypal and still waiting to get my money back. It's not rocket science, this "service" is weak and they rely on people to send these tickets, which they may put up for "sale" just in case they decide to flake and not attend. So they have a backup sucker to dump the ticket(s) on just in case they need it.

    Being my first and last experience with Stubhub, I've found the service a joke. When the tickets have not arrived and I ask for my money back, you don't list off some "fan protect" garbage, you give me my money back. Wouldn't trust this service personally at all. You have no guarantee you'll get what you pay for and it certainly ruined my weekend, and week leading up to it stressing over a ticket. AVOID, if at all possible and do not make plans relying on anything bought via Stubhub. Ruined my weekend and all I know is I can apparently have my money back at some future point. Zero percent impressed, ruined my weekend and I've just split with my long time partner so a good night was needed and I was let down.

    I purchased two tickets to the Miranda Lambert concert in Bossier (3-20-15) for my wife and her friend. I bought the tickets back on 2-17-15 from Stubhub, received confirmation and the tickets via email. Well tonight my wife and her friend went to the enter the concert but were turned away due to her tickets not being valid.

    I of course hung up with my wife and called Stubhub. I spoke with ** who was helpful, he said that it was possible that either the seller double sold the tickets or the seller contacted the company where they (seller) originally purchased the tickets and had them reprinted. It's basically unknown at this point in time what exactly happened.

    While I am upset that my wife and her friend didn't get to enjoy their show, Stubhub said they will be giving me a full refund plus a 20% coupon for future use (Not going to happen). I asked ** why the company doesn't have it set up where the seller gives up the right to the ticket when using their service, he said normally they do, but sometimes certain transactions don't. All in all, buyer beware.

    I would implore anyone seriously considering to purchase tickets from this website to instead buy them from a genuine source. My e-tickets were available for me to download, print, and attend Download festival 4 days before the event. However, I was emailed the day before the event and informed that the tickets were not valid for entry into the festival. Being informed less than 24 hours before I was to depart was appalling, and the attitude of the customer service staff that I spoke to on the phone was even worse. Stubhub's resolution to my problem was to attend the event a day later, as there was always a slim chance that the seller could post actual tickets via special delivery. A string of hope and an empty promise from a company that has taken payment for a product they were unable to deliver.

    So here I am, a day before the festival, letting down 4 other people that were suppose to be attending with me and needing me for transport. And £160 out of pocket. Stubhub's guarantee to refund me within 3-5 working days does not fill me with hope, considering their "fan protect guarantee" also apparently ensures the ability to enter the event on time and for tickets to be valid for entry. A horrific demonstration of customer service and reliability from a first time user of Stubhub. Anyone reading this review would be foolish to consider purchasing tickets from a company that cares less about having fans attend event, and even less about customer service.

    So I purchased two tickets for the Wrestlemania 2015 event in San Jose back in December for my brother and his wife. They were great seats for great prices and I was so happy that I found them. I know that we're only a few weeks away from the event, but my brother suffered a heart attack and just passed away. I contacted their customer service via chat and spoke with someone named ** and he/she assured me that I would be getting a refund back to my card within 2-3 business days. I was so happy with their customer service for understanding the situation and for giving me a refund.

    Next thing you know, I get an email, not 5 min later, saying that I have received a "coupon" for the amount of my tickets on my account and that I can use it for any event but that it would expire in a year. It threw me off because I thought that I was going to get my refund back via the credit card I used, not in a coupon. I thought that maybe I was just reading it wrong so I decided to go back on the chat option to talk to a representative again to confirm. Next thing I know, I'm being told that there was a "misunderstanding" and that they don't give cash refunds, only "coupons".

    By now I'm irate and I explain to this new rep that I specifically asked "when should I expect the refund to my credit card? The funds will be used towards the funeral costs" and **, the first rep answered, "it can take anywhere from 2-3 business days", to which I said thank you. She keeps insisting that it was a misunderstanding and I had to go into my ** mode which I hate, and told her that if indeed there was any misunderstanding, it was on their part, not mine. I asked a specific question, and got an answer from THEIR rep. He/she did not say it was going to be a "coupon". He/she SPECIFICALLY said it would be refunded back to my card. After I schooled her on ethics and business laws, she said that she was going to speak to a supervisor for more information and so she could "look further into this."

    After waiting for 5 min, she comes back and tells me that I have been approved, as a courtesy, for a full refund on my credit card. Not a coupon. FINALLY, after almost an hour of chatting with these people, I get some satisfaction. Needless to say, I will never, ever use Stubhub again, nor will I recommend them to anyone.

    Stubhub advertised tickets as 'Orchestra Seats,' which we purchased. As soon as we saw the tickets, we realized they were in the 2nd last row of the theater. Immediately contacted Stubhub and they refused to recognize the misrepresentation and would not credit the transaction. They only offered to try to re-sell the tickets at a profit to themselves of course. Our credit card company indicated that Stubhub should immediately cancel the transaction since the issue (misrepresentation) was caught immediately by the buyer; anything else being unethical.

    Two stories here. Last two experiences to be exact so these are not well separated incidents with any successes in the middle.

    I bought 4 up front seats to the Fleetwood Mac concert in Columbus Ohio. Paid for several months in advance of the show. Got to 10 days before showtime (did I mention that these tix were in the thousands of dollars?) - no tix. Contact Stubhub. Very nice, prompt etc. Tell me that "This vendor has an excellent track record and we have never had a problem with them." I'm like "Great but I'd like my tix please." Stubhub says they will call the seller and "Please hold the line." They come back a few minutes later with "They're not answering so we will email them." I say, "OK then what?" They tell me that I'll get an email when tix ship. (Sound familiar folks who have had issues??) Huge relief!!

    Get email with tracking number for tix. Tracking says "label created." Next day still says "label created." Next day same thing. Time is running out. I'm starting to imagine my embarrassment in front of my close friends now. Call Stubhub back and call BS on seller. They tell me to expect a call from fulfillment department next day. So now I know that Stubhub knows their reliable vendor is crap in reality. Next day fulfillment guy calls - asks me to hold while he reads my case file. Comes back in a somber tone and offers me replacement tix that are front row. YAY! Relief etc. Stubhub stands up and takes a major financial bath. I'm happy but it's a survival kind of happy. Skin on my teeth happy.

    So now it is present day. My friend buys similar tix for Maroon 5 in Columbus. Pay big bucks up front months ahead of event. Ten days before event. No tix. Calls Stubhub. "This is a great vendor! No problems at all. You'll get an email when the tix ship." Sound familiar? Get track number. Package en route. Yay!! Right? Tix show up. Friend goes to event with sister. This is a birthday present for the sister btw. Go to gate. TIX ARE 100 percent fake! Venue actually gives friend paperwork to certify fraud tix.

    Whatever Stubhub had going. However hard they try to make things right. Their system is now absolutely rampant with fraudulent sellers. If you want to experience real stress and probably drama use them. I actually feel real sympathy for Stubhub workers. They are good people that want to make things right. It is not fair for them or their customers to be put in these situations.

    My tickets were dropped off at a "certified" UPS location within the 1 business day window. Due to unexplainable logistical reasons the package was not scanned into UPS, but would have arrived well in time for the buyers. Order was cancelled with zero notice to me, and then I had to chase my tail to get the tickets back, and will probably get them back on the DAY of the event with very little time to re-sell them.

    It's so easy for sellers to get scammed through StubHub. They take the buyers word 100% with no proof. If the buyer says your ticket was fake, they will charge you. I have talked with customer service and asked what proof they ask of buyers and they literally said cases like that rarely happen so they don't require proof. That was seriously their answer. But I'm starting to read more and more about buyers scamming the seller. So even if it's rare (or so they claim), it's happening!

    Once I sold a ticket on there and it was valid and the buyer got into the show, but didn't go to the meet and greet because of the band's management preventing her to...yet I was charged for that. Completely out of my control and I sold a valid ticket, yet StubHub took money out of my account for it? Such a disgusting business, they don't care about anyone, especially the sellers. Terrible customer service. Not to mention they are only enabling scalpers. I'm waiting for the day someone sues them.
