Very disappointing company. Tried to list my tickets with them, was told there would be a 3 day review before they would post, it took 6 days before they were listed, once they were finally listed, I noticed a mistake on my “row” number on my ticket (my mistake). I went back in to modify my listing and correct the “row” of my seat, they promptly took my tickets off the site and told me there would be another 3 day review. Of course, all this was done through their web chat. You can never speak to a human being. I will be pulling them off of their site and listing with Ticketmaster and not returning to their site to do any future business.

My husband ordered tickets for Zac Brown at the Sphere for January 9th 2026. He was given a confirmation for the paid tickets but when he went to claim the tickets, we received an "Oooops! Your tickets were claimed by another email account," from Ticketmaster. We had no other account. How could someone possibly accept tickets from another email account when the confirmation was sent to the right one? We were on the phone for 2 days trying to figure out what happened and StubHub would not give us a refund or properly explain how this happened. We will NEVER purchase from StubHub. Beware. I would give zero stars if possible.

This is a legitimate Ponzi scheme! I purchased 2 tickets for the World Cup games for January 16th. I purchased mine last month, and still have not received them??? Their call centers are in the Philippines somewhere??? They say that their guarantee is your money back or comparable tickets? Yeah right! I don't believe either one of their stories. Thank God I purchased my tickets $700 each x2 at $1700 Through my credit card company! I requested my money back to these thief's! And they told me that I cannot get my refund because of their ** terms and conditions? I told me I will file a claim with the credit card company and later seek legal damages because I was blackmailed buying them???? Because nobody will reimburse you for the travel expenses? It's a scam! Do not buy from this POS!!!! Company.

I sold tickets on StubHub in October 2025. Today, January 2026 I have not been paid by StubHub for the ticket. As others have noted, their customer service is dismissive. I have contacted the upper echelon and StubHub and they are equally dismissive. Buyer beware. Seller beware.

I bought tickets to a band battle to see my son perform, and after checking other platforms Stubhub charged $100 in fees plus taxes. I could have got the tickets for $100 cheaper on Ticketmaster. I try to do a refund and it haven’t been 30 minutes passed and all they offered was to resale them online! I will never use them again.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with StubHub that cost me time, money, and the entire value of the event. I purchased 4 tickets for approximately $1,500, well in advance. On the day of the event, I even contacted StubHub about 4 hours before it started to confirm everything was fine. I was explicitly told that all was well and that I would receive my tickets before the event. I drove 1.5 hours to the venue, and right when the event started, StubHub informed me that the seller had failed to deliver the tickets and asked if I wanted a refund. At that point, a refund was not a real option. I was already at the venue with my group and had planned the entire day around this event.
StubHub offered “replacement tickets,” but the replacements were dramatically inferior. The seats were extremely far away, with limited visibility, and not even remotely comparable to what I originally purchased. Had I bought those replacement seats myself, they would have cost around $500, not $1,500. Despite this, StubHub refused to offer any partial refund, credit, or price adjustment.
This is a deeply unfair and misleading business practice. Waiting until the exact start time of an event to disclose a seller failure leaves customers with no meaningful choice and forces them to accept inferior seats or lose the event entirely. I paid for premium tickets and received budget seats, with no accountability or compensation. StubHub’s assurances earlier in the day were inaccurate, and their resolution was unacceptable. I will not use StubHub again and strongly caution others against relying on them for important or expensive events.

Screenshot any conversation you have with the chat.. they magically disappear when they tell you they will reimburse you. I bought a parking pass through Stub Hub and never received it.

Horrible. DO NOT USE StubHub if you want to guarantee you have tickets. Never received the tickets I purchased. I even purchased the Fan Protection Guarantee…useless. Access to tickets 3 hours prior to event. Never able to “claim” tickets. Spent 3 hours on my phone “chatting via texts”. CSR kept “checking” with support team to see about issue. Was told on seller's end all was good, and on buyer's end (me), I was only one with access to tickets, so unfortunately not able to receive refund. I NEVER received the tickets. Out nearly $200.

We purchased tickets for Section 118, Row F and Seller Andric Chase sent us tickets for Section 115, Row W. We live 3-1/2 hours away. My wife and I had a weekend getaway "Date Night". We had Hotel reservations, had a dog sitter for our dogs and child sitter in advance. Seller sent us the wrong tickets. Stubhub wanted to offer replacement tickets that wasn't even in our section. Stubhub's comparable tickets were about money value, not seat experience. We purchased great seats and Seller and StubHub both let us down. Fan Protection is not about the Fans. It's about money protection; nobody wants to be out of pocket; Customers/fans experience the inconvenience. I'm sure the Seller Andric Chase sold our tickets for a better profit and Stubhub still collected the fees. How do you expect fans/consumers to purchase with confidence. That's what your platform is based on.
All Stubhub wanted to do is offer the same type of SEATS the Seller sent us around Section 115, Row W. This is the worst experience ever. Stubhub let us down. Stubhub said they will fine the Seller and keep the money from the fine for their "Due diligent" work they put in to sort things out; for their inconvenience, but the buyer gets the real "Inconvenience". It's about the money for Stubhub, It's about a great experience for the customer. It's about purchasing great seats and Seller/Stubhub not fulfilling their agreements, is very disappointing. I'm sure they can care less, they got their profits worth!

You guys pulled a huge scam on me by giving me a parking spot in Long Island when I was going to Radio City in Manhattan for the Rackets concert. How was I supposed to walk an hour in the cold to Radio City with my kids??? Besides having to pay you for the parking reservation, the bridge toll to get to Long Island, then the tunnel toll to get back to Manhattan, and then another parking fee of $55. This was a huge rip-off, and I will report online for this, in addition to offering me orchestra tickets and giving me tickets on the second floor. You are frauds and I will report all of this online... And I demand my refund for this online scam! I'm very disappointed with StubHub!

I did a quick search for a pass to a SPECIFIC parking lot, let's call it "Lot A", to see a Falcons game. The add-on fees were frankly outrageous, but I just wanted an easy in-out because I'm familiar with this lot and it's very close to the stadium. I arrived days later at "Lot A" for the game, where I was told that my ticket was for a different lot, let's call it "Lot B". "Lot B" is further away, and not as nice. I decided to just pay to park at Lot A, then got customer service online. StubHub service basically said, "we've confirmed that your ticket is for Lot B, so there is nothing more we can help you with, but we value our customers yada yada".
I re-stated that I searched specifically for Lot A, clicked ONLY on Lot A in search, and either it is an error that you delivered me a lot B ticket, or your system misled me. They asked if I had screenshots to prove I was looking for Lot A. Of course I don't, because while I was using the StubHub process, I did not assume that there would it would be a shady deal and I'd get shafted. This was all before the game, and I never used the expensive ticket they sold me. They DO NOT value their customers. They DO NOT care if you return of not. They DO NOT fix problems. I personally will never use StubHub again, but if you take the risk, double check that what they're selling you is what you wanted. I should have come here and read the many similar reviews before using StubHub. I lost a bunch of money, and they don't take any responsibility. My advice is to stick with Ticketmaster and Live Nation, or parking apps, where I've never had a problem.

Please do not use Stubhub for parking pass purchases.

Told stubhub about it on 12/3 nearly a month before the event, but was told that the seller is allowed to make things right up until the event. Fast forward to yesterday 12/29 - I ended up needing to purchase another parking pass from another online marketplace to get closer to the stadium. Stubhub is refusing to give me a refund, claiming I didn't tell them about the issue before the event, but here for everyone's eyes is the original response I received from them on 12/3 when I originally reported the issue:
"Dear Christopher, We are contacting you regarding your order ** for PARKING PASSES ONLY Minnesota Timberwolves at Chicago Bulls on 29 December 2025. We are writing to confirm that we are currently working on the issue regarding the incorrect parking pass you received. At this moment, no action is required from your end.

Bought two tickets for an upcoming show - purchased Seats 3 and 4. Have multiple screen shots and emails from StubHub confirming these were the seats I ordered. However, StubHub gave me seats 9 and 10, which are further away from the aisle and the stage and have a significantly worse angle. I contacted Customer Service and they told me the seller would have to give me the correct tickets (Seats 3-4) or I'd get a refund.
However, after waiting weeks, this wasn't done and when I've re-contacted StubHub (many times), they've advised me that they can provide whatever seats they want, as long as they're in the same section and same row - even if they are obstructed, farther away from the stage, have a different view, etc. They cannot point to anywhere in their policy where this is disclosed; I have asked multiple times, and the offshore customer service agents just say that this is their "policy". I have contacted StubHub 10+ times in an effort to resolve, and they, frankly, just don't care. I will never do business with them again and recommend that others steer clear, as well.

I am filing this complaint because StubHub has failed to resolve a clear ticket delivery issue, despite multiple contacts over the past two days. I purchased two tickets under Order #**. Although StubHub claims both tickets were “claimed,” only one ticket (Ticket #7) actually works and appears in my Ticketmaster account. The second ticket never appears and is not accessible, making the purchase unusable. I have fully verified all possibilities: I have only one Ticketmaster account. I have only one email address. I have checked all inboxes, folders, and accounts repeatedly. Ticketmaster itself shows only one ticket in the order, as evidenced by screenshots already provided.
Despite this clear evidence, StubHub has refused to resolve the issue, insisting on explanations that do not match the facts. This is not a technical inconvenience — it is a failure to deliver what was purchased. One ticket alone is completely useless, as the purchase was made for a pair. Keeping my payment while delivering only one ticket is unacceptable and contrary to StubHub’s FanProtect Guarantee, which explicitly states that buyers must receive the tickets they purchased or receive a full refund. I have therefore formally requested: Immediate cancellation of the order, and A full refund of all amounts paid, including fees. StubHub has not honored this request, leaving me with no choice but to escalate. I am traveling shortly, and further delays are unreasonable. I am requesting urgent assistance to resolve this matter fairly and in accordance with consumer protection standards.

The seller refused to send my tickets until day of the concert. I called stubhub and they assured me my seller was a frequent seller with 100% completion rate. I receive tickets 4 hours before the concert only to find out that they sent me the wrong tickets. I received cheapest tickets available at the time, and not what I actually purchased.
I called stub hub and all they could offer me were 3 options. - 1) Send back the tickets for a full refund, which means I would miss the concert. 2) Send back the tickets and then receive alternative tickets 1 HOUR before the concert. Alternative tickets would be based on availability and the price I paid originally, which at this point was much less than what they were going for the day of the concert. or 3) Accept these wrong tickets, guarantee myself entry to the event, and receive a 25% voucher, which does not actually compensate me for the price difference.

Do NOT ever use StubHub for anything. We bought tickets MONTHS ago for PBR (March and April) for November 2025. Well, something happened and the date went from November 15th to December 20th. For whatever reason, not sure if something happened to where they needed the Tucson Convention Center for something else, another bug event was on town, or something happened with PBR. I verified with Stubhub that our tickets would automatically switch to the new date and our seats reserved.
Fast forward to tonight. We waited and waited for the email that our tickets were transferred. Never got it, so we chatted with Stubhub to find out what happened. We were told that the "time for the seller to transfer the tickets had expired" (this was half an hour BEFORE the event even started and I watched my email all day to check foe tickets, spam and junk folder as well). Stubhub sent us a link to replace the tickets, however no replacement could be made. Unfortunately, after MONTHS of waiting for this event, we would miss the event. Ok, at least we would get a refund, right? Well, the debit card/bank I used is no longer in use. The first person said all I have to do is first update my card on file, then accept the refund, and it will go to whatever card I have on file. So I did that.
I got an email confirming the refund will go to the old card used to make the purchase that is no longer active. Spoke to someone again, who said that whatever card I updated it to, the refund will go to that card. Anyway, after all this, we missed out on an event that myself and kids have been looking forward to for MONTHS. Regardless of the date change, someone screwed up somewhere. I am thankful for whoever was doing security at the TCC that allowed me in to use the restroom. Whether we ever receive our $200 refund from Stubhub remains to be seen. 8 business days they told me. I will definitely update if I ever got it from them.

Terrible experience and feels like a scam. Should be named Scamhub. I bought tickets to a hockey game a few days prior then caught a flight to see the game. Hours before the game I still hadn’t received tickets to the game and reached out. After waiting in queue for an hour they advised the tickets were not available and offered replacement tickets which were in a much higher section and significantly worse seats. They insisted they were comparable tickets. I ended up having to go to a competitor to get equivalent seats but spent $150 more since it was now last minute given the situation they put me in.
I requested a full refund from StubHub and they only refunded it partially as apparently some of the fees I paid for the original tickets were not refundable per their policy. I gave them several chances to make it right but they refused. From this experience I was not only out the increased price I had to pay to get last minute equivalent tickets but also out some of the money for the original tickets I never received which they refuse to refund.

I paid through the nose for 2 front row seats to an event. 2 days before the event, the seller sent an email stating that he would not be able to provide the seats, and attempted to switch me off to lesser seats. I said "provide the seats I bought or a refund". I spoke to a marginally English speaking StubHub rep who read from company cue cards about how they were only a middleman who could not demand seller performance (or integrity, for that matter). The show was 100 miles away, and I could see how this was shaping up, so I cancelled the motel, the pet sitter, notified my friend who was to join me that my Xmas gift to him of a seat wasn't gonna happen.
I went on about my business (nearly 48 hrs. with no contact), only to be told 1 hour before the event that StubHub had found suitable replacement tickets. I won't repeat what I told them publicly, as there was much foul language involved. Now, I wait 5-8 business days for a refund. Steer clear of this outfit. It was a bait and switch from day 1 by professional scammers, who likely sold the tickets for more than I paid on another forum. That seller should be banned from the platform, IMO. I will never use them again.

I am writing to inquire about a potential class action lawsuit against StubHub regarding its unfair terms and conditions and its practice of failing to deliver tickets in a timely manner.
My Specific Issue: I purchased FIFA event tickets through StubHub. The company has failed to transfer the tickets until hours before or, in some cases, during the scheduled match time. This practice causes significant distress, travel disruption, and the risk of missing the event entirely, even though the tickets were paid for well in advance. This non-delivery of service is a clear violation of consumer expectations for a ticket purchased through a major broker.
Basis for Class Action: This issue is not isolated. StubHub's policy and execution regarding high-demand, time-sensitive events like FIFA matches appear to systematically expose a large number of consumers to this unreasonable risk and harm. I believe StubHub is unjustly profiting from hard-working people while offering terms and conditions that are unfairly beneficial only to StubHub.
I am prepared to serve as the Lead Plaintiff to represent others who have been harmed by this practice and am seeking legal representation to compel StubHub to change its policies to be fair to all consumers. Please contact me at ** if you are interested in discussing this matter further.

I purchased a ticket for a Vikings football game at about 8:30a for a noon kickoff. StubHub indicated a guaranteed arrival of the ticket to me by 11:30a. I went to the event and got in the security line but the ticket never arrived, even after the game had begun. I contacted StubHub customer service. By around 12:30p they determine that my ticket was not available, and agreed to get me a replacement ticket. I selected a replacement ticket on their app (using the link StubHub provided) that indicated a ticket for a specific row and seat.
The replacement ticket also never arrived to me and by about 1:15p StubHub blamed the person who was providing the replacement ticket and told me the replacement ticket was no longer available. I talked to customer service more and they offered once again to provide a new replacement ticket. I again selected a replacement ticket on their app (using the link StubHub provided) that indicated a ticket for a specific row and seat.
This third attempt at getting me my ticket also failed, and StubHub customer service eventually told me this new replacement ticket was no longer available. By about 1:45p (remember, the game started at 12 noon), the StubHub customer service representative told me "the event had passed," that I should go home, and that I was not getting a ticket for the event. I left. At about 2p, I received an email saying that I had a StubHub ticket for the game - which had started two hours earlier. I did not open the email since I had already left based on the instructions of the StubHub representative. I had spent about three hours in the MN November cold outside waiting for my ticket to get in, and I never got past security. The customer service representative said I would receive a refund.

Since I no longer had access to that email address, I contacted Customer Service to request assistance in updating my email address. I first had to navigate through an AI virtual assistant before reaching a live agent. A very nice young man named Mohammed joined the chat and asked me several relevant questions to make sure he understood my issue.
He advised me to create a new account with the correct email address, then he would move the tickets over to that account. I did exactly as he instructed, and he confirmed that he would move the tickets and would also notify the seller of the change as well. StubHub's FAQ section advises that tickets are often not sent until the day of the event, but when I still had not received them four hours before the concert was to begin, I contacted StubHub Customer Service again. There is no option to call or email anyone; there is only the virtual assistant channel to communicate with them. I went through my issue with a live agent named Dayana, who must have gone through different training than Mohammed because she was incredibly rude.
She said that Mohammed gave me the wrong directions and that I needed to contact Axios. I had no clue who that was - then I discovered that Axios is also a ticket broker. I thought that StubHub was the channel through which individual buyers could buy from individual sellers, but apparently StubHub is part of a network of brokers/sellers that are companies, not individuals.
Dayana directed me to log into Axios to get to their customer service; since I don't have an Axios account and didn't know who they were until 3 hours before the concert, she said there was nothing else StubHub could do. I asked to speak with a manager, and she said that there was no one else for me to speak with, and even if there was, they would just tell me the same thing - that StubHub could not assist with getting my tickets from the ticket seller, nor would they refund my purchase. Again, this agent was exceptionally rude and it was clear she had no intent of trying to help me further. I concluded my chat with her and said that StubHub would be hearing from me.
Unfortunately, there is no other communication channel with that company. No email address, no phone number, not even a street address to mail a complaint. Just that virtual assistant which is useless for anything other than order status. So - I went back through the virtual assistant and reached another live agent named Julia. I explained my situation for a third time and received the same response - there was nothing that StubHub could do to get my tickets to me, and furthermore, my situation did not warrant a refund.
At this point it was too late for me to use the tickets anyway, as the show was to start in less than an hour. I insisted on speaking with someone in a more senior role, and although Julia was professional about it, she said that she could not connect me with anyone else. She did agree to submit an escalated complaint on my behalf and committed to a response within 72 hours. She also sent me an email with the case numbers for my escalation (one for the tickets, and one for the parking pass).
I never heard anything back, and today was the 20th day. I contacted Customer Service through that darn virtual assistant again, and this time reached an agent named Elaine. After Elaine made me go back through all the details again (this makes 4 times now), she said she could not help me and that the first agent gave me the wrong instructions. I asked her to find out what happened with the escalations, and she said they were denied; she said that, because the event was over two weeks ago, there was nothing StubHub could do.
I followed StubHub's Customer Service directions exactly to the letter to update my email address one week before the concert, and StubHub failed to follow through. I am retired and cannot afford to lose $600+ dollars, but StubHub does not care about that. Their guarantees are BS, and I will never EVER do business with this company again.

I had to check stubhub account, Ticketmaster account, the sporting event website and another app and I had to create accounts in all of them to see if the tickets were delivered there. That’s insane. The customer service agent who said they would call me back or send me an email never did once they contact the seller but they never did. I found tickets in one of the apps but for StubHub not to be able to tell me which one was insane. Use another reseller, skip StubHub.

DO NOT TRUST STUBHUB! I sold two 2 day passes to 2 different people. One buyer said I sent him a pass for the wrong day which is impossible since it's a 2 day pass. They immediately let him cancel and tried to charge me $92! When that failed they put a lien on my account and when the other buyer's payment went thru they kept it! This all went down within 24hrs but it's going to take them 30 days to decide whether or not they will give me the money that is due to me! This company is run by thieves!

I got tickets to the Ohio State, vs Michigan. Spent two weeks contacting them. Repeatedly. Paid the Extra money for just in case issues that may arrive. Tickets said they were sent. None were there. They said I had transferred them elsewhere. Which I never received. Only the parking pass. I called daily sometimes twice a day. Everyday was an escalation. After the first week, I just demanded my money back. They denied me that. I demanded. I talked to a supervisor or someone higher. They denied me that. Hung up the phone, or let me sit on hold upwards of 30 minutes. With no luck. It’s now the day before, in that time they said multiple different times, "The tickets are now in your account." And they were not. They had me download almost every ticket app available and make an account to check if they were there.
I then contacted the Michigan Stadium about my tickets. They said they were sent to someone not with my name or with my email address. I told them that. They just kept putting me on HOLD. Coming back with the same repeated answers to keep doing the same things I’ve done about 76 times as if it was going to work. Today less than 24 hours away. And 3 hours to even travel there. I’m asking for my refund from the seller as they have figured a damn thing out in the urgency they stated it has been. And I’m on hold. So far it’s a 32 minutes wait. DO NOT PURCHASE anything from them. You will talk to people you can’t understand half the things they say. They do not care, and getting your money back is like arguing with someone that that is wrong. But continues to just want to argue. And that’s it. So I will be contacting my bank, and putting this as fraud .

Total scam. The original ticket was delivered to me but the seller took it back which locked my account and make Ticketmaster accuse me of stealing the tickets. After five months of talking to their representatives that hang up when they are proven wrong, they told me to wait until three hours before the event. I waited and they gave me replacement tickets that I could not access. I went to the venues box office and they said that the ticket that I had been given wasnt valid and had been given to multiple other people. I had to watch as people entered the venue while I was desperately calling Stubhub customer services for four hours only for nothing to happen. They kept telling me to use different internets and browsers even though I had already tried everything.
I asked for a refund and they sent me a link which I filled out but then sent me another email after saying that they needed three days to review it. I wasted five months and $500 on a concert I couldn't even attend. It was supposed to be my birthday and Christmas present and I was so excited just to have this stupid app full of scalpers and liars to crush my dreams.

I bought tickets to the Suns/Spurs game in Phoenix, together with a parking pass. The parking pass is described as "Jefferson St. Garage", which presumably is proximate to the arena, since the cost, with fees, was $25.34. Turns out the parking is not in a garage, but in a church parking lot which is over a mile from the arena (the arena entrance is on the far side of the arena facility). There is no address on the parking lot, and there are multiple signs that indicate that parking in the lot is solely for church goers, and others will be towed. Had to drive around the block several times to conclude that the garage must instead by this surface lot.
It was a 28 minute walk to the arena entrance. The arena is on first street; the parking lot is on 11th street, so it is 10 blocks from the arena. Outrageous that they would advertise this lot as a parking garage for the arena. I'm sure that the parking garages proximate to the arena are much cheaper than this very remote parking lot. Total scam by StubHub. My ticket experience was also lousy. You receive digital tickets, which were supposed to be delivered no later than 3:00 pm for a 6:00 pm game. When they didn't arrive, I had to navigate their website to figure out how to contact StubHub. I ended up chatting with some bot, which initially indicated that my tickets were for a 2024 game. Spent over 30 minutes trying to reach an actual human.
Finally I chatted with someone who indicated that they would either issue a refund or alternate seats. I said a refund wasn't what I wanted, and ultimately received replacement tickets which were relatively comparably, but between the delay in receiving the tickets, searching for the garage, and then a 28 minute walk to the arena, we missed the first quarter of the game.

I reached out two more times leading up to the event with the same response. A couple hours before the show started, I eventually got ahold of a live customer service representative through the app and was told to wait about five minutes to see where my tickets were at. She came back and a message popped up saying the seller is not able to provide the tickets that I originally purchased.
Then the chat function ended and I was not able to get new tickets because it was sold out. I was extremely disappointed because we had been waiting weeks for this!

I purchased a parking pass through StubHub on 10/30/25 because I had also purchased tickets from them to a concert at the Hollywood Palladium for 11/5/25. I had been led to believe the parking lot was conveniently located near the venue. The email notification regarding the parking pass purchase said, “Over a 15-minute walk to the venue.” I don’t live in Los Angeles so I am not familiar with the area.
When I made it to the parking lot on the evening of the concert I found out it was way too far from the venue to make any sense. It would have been a 40 minute walk to get to the Hollywood Palladium and then another 40 minute walk to get back to it the parking lot. I didn’t park there because I was able to find a spot that was much closer.
The parking pass said it was provided by a company called ParkWhiz. So I tried contacting them about requesting a refund. They made the process difficult so I reported them to the Better Business Bureau. I found out that the parking pass was actually purchased through StubHub, which was a third party retailer, and ultimately they were responsible.
So I contacted StubHub via their live chat service. The representative, who called herself Pearl, was at first very accommodating and said she would escalate the issue and refer me to a representative who would be better able to handle the issue. Then after a brief pause she completely changed her tune saying I reported the issue too late and there was nothing they could do. I told her that was unacceptable and the reason why I was late reporting was because I first tried working with ParkWhiz for the refund request.
I told her I wished to speak with a supervisor but she became uncooperative and argued the supervisor would tell me the same thing. I informed her that I would report StubHub, they lost a customer for life and I would warn as many people as possible about there deceptive and unprofessional business practices. She said my statement was noted. She then proceeded to argue with me and then kept repeating that there was nothing they could do because I reported the issue too late.
I checked and there was nothing in their emails or in their website saying there was a time limitation on requesting a refund. I told her as much and then I called her out for lying about saying she would escalate the issue and refer me to someone better able to handle the issue. After that she became belligerent and abruptly closed the chat. Ultimately I am extremely upset at StubHub for doing such a terrible and unprofessional job of handling this issue.
In the process of filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau I found out their website that not only are they not a BBB accredited business but they have a rating of “F” with thousands upon thousands of complaints filed. The “F” rating is due to failing to respond to many of said complaints or failing to resolve those they did respond to. They are also the target of a lawsuit in which a DC Attorney General has sued StubHub for deceptive pricing and junk fees. So I am warning everyone to stay away from this business and by no means proceed to purchase any tickets or passes of any kind from them. They will rip you off one way or another and clearly believe they are justified in doing so!

When contacting customer service they stated the parking pass was different but because it was the same parking line and was within 30 minute walk that unfortunately it was still considered valid and they could not help me. Customer service admitted this was misleading, but unfortunately falls within their guidelines as valid.
As we were unable to walk this far, we ended up parking in advertised location on purchase and received 75.00 fine. Second couple ended up paying additional 60$ to park in stated lot on ticket purchase. So we paid 125$ for 2 parking passes through stub hub and still ended up paying another 135$ to park where we were originally supposed to park.

I paid $1,800 for Maroon 5 tickets expecting VIP-level seats, and the tickets NEVER got delivered. I spent hours dealing with customer service and it was beyond useless—no answers, no solutions, and no accountability. For the amount of money I spent, I expected professionalism and reliability.

I need everyone to read this, especially parents. What happened to my family today was beyond disappointing — it was heartbreaking, careless, and completely unacceptable. I bought two tickets in JULY for my 16-year-old daughter and my husband. My daughter is a wonderful girl — respectful, responsible, and she never asks for anything. When she finally got excited about something impossible, I did everything in my power to make it happen. For months, she looked forward to this moment. She’s very sensitive emotionally, and when she gets her hopes up, she feels things deeply.
I invested time, money, clothes, planning — everything so she could have this special day. We got ready early, bought outfits, prepared everything to make sure she would be on time and happy. As a mother, you do whatever you can when your child’s happiness is on the line. StubHub destroyed all of that. If you’re considering buying tickets on StubHub, PLEASE READ THIS first. I wish someone had warned me.
I purchased two tickets in JULY — yes, months ago — for an event happening today. I paid in full, trusted the platform, and waited patiently. As the event approached, I checked my order and noticed it was still “processing,” so I contacted StubHub’s automated chat. The system told me my tickets would be available at 5:00 PM today, so I stayed calm and waited. At 5 PM I checked my email… nothing. No tickets. No updates. No explanation.
I contacted the automated system again, and it reassured me that sometimes transfers take a little longer but that “I was guaranteed to receive them.” So my family and I got ready and started driving — we live far from the venue, so we had to leave early. Halfway there, I suddenly receive a message saying there was a “problem with the tickets” and that I would only be offered a refund. A refund was NOT what I needed. The event was TODAY. I was already on my way. I wanted the tickets I had purchased since JULY. I insisted on a replacement. They told me to check Ticketmaster for the “new tickets” — and when I tried, Ticketmaster showed the truth: The seller CANCELLED the tickets.
When StubHub tried to contact the seller, the seller didn’t pick up the phone, sent them straight to voicemail, and never replied to emails. And instead of truly helping me, the representative (who was also rude) kept repeating the same thing: “We can only offer a refund.” Even after I explained — repeatedly — that I was already in the city, right in front of the venue, ready to enter.
On top of that, StubHub closed my live chat, hung up on me twice when I called back, and only on the third attempt did I reach someone respectful. But even then, they made it clear: Their so-called ‘FanProtect Guarantee’ protected absolutely NOTHING. They held my money from JULY until the DAY OF THE EVENT. They reassured me all day that the tickets were coming. They let me drive all the way to the city. And only THEN did they tell me the seller canceled and that a refund was my only “solution.”
StubHub didn’t care that:• I purchased months in advance
• I was already halfway to the venue
• I had a guarantee of delivery
• I lost the entire experience
• The event was TODAY
• I wasted time, gas, emotional energy, and my night
They didn’t even attempt to replace the tickets or take responsibility. They simply shrugged, hid behind scripted lines, and treated me like the situation was my problem — when THEY failed to deliver what I purchased. This is unacceptable, irresponsible, and disrespectful. StubHub’s system failed me completely. And if you’re considering buying tickets here, you need to know that this can happen to you too — even if you buy MONTHS in advance. This was my first and absolute LAST experience with StubHub. Please think twice before trusting this platform

I've never purchased concert tickets before but wanted to surprise my wife. Turns out my wife can't take off work that day so I had to cancel. Only I couldn't cancel, I had to resell the tickets. That's when everything went downhill because it was so easy at first. Not only did I have to resell the two seats next to each other but the parking pass as well. The parking, if nothing else, shouldn't have to be sold by the customer, it should be completely refundable. I even got insurance on the tickets. Anyway, my 1 star is for customer service. I was having a hard time selling because of the instructions Grubhub gave me. They wanted me to send the tickets to an email they created for me. Only I couldn't transfer it to the buyer from StubHub to StubHub, it had to be third party. So I had to cancel my transfer to myself, send it BACK to Ticketmaster then finally I was able to send it to the buyer.
With one seat sold I only had one more left to sell and I'm frustrated but I'm determined to make my money back or at least close to the amount I spent. I downloaded the apps by this point to make my StubHub and Ticketmaster experience a little easier than using the web browser and having to sign in Everytime. It didn't help because even on the app I still have to sign in Everytime I close the app only adding to my frustration. The 2nd seat sold but unlike on the web browser where I was able to type in section 104, the app didn't have an option to type. I saw numbers 1 through 4. So I assumed it must be 1 because according to the map of the stadium the seats were decent seats when I purchased them. I was wrong. I didn't find this out until a phone call I received from Viagogo at work later in the day.
Prior to the phone call from Viagogo I chatted with virtual agents, live agents, lost connection, got a phone call for StubHub, got the run around, and finally had my case escalated to a higher level. So Viagogo calls me later that day on the behalf of the buyer of the 2nd seat. They are frustrated because I'm not understanding them, only I am. They just aren't explaining themselves well. I had to calm him down to help him help me because he is extremely frustrated with me after only a few seconds of being on the phone with me. I kept telling him the transfer went through. He said no, no, NO it's not the transfer that is the issue! I'm like, "Okay you should've said that the first time I mentioned the transfer." He said it was the section. It should've been 104, not section 1. I told him the app gave me trouble and I never saw a 104 option.
I asked how do I remedy the situation at this point because I already transferred the ticket and the buyer is refusing to accept the ticket likely because the section isn't the section they want. I can't make the ticket magically become the section the buyer wants. He huffed and hung the phone up on me. Extremely unprofessional. Now the buyer has canceled from the looks of it and they are expecting me to pay the buyer. Mind you, I don't even have any money from the buyer because the money doesn't transfer to our account until 5 to 8 business days AFTER the date of the event, which is Dec 16th. That's PLENTY of time for StubHub to reimburse the buyer. Simply cancel the payment or something. And they always have the scapegoat of blaming us customers for other customers' bad experience and if not they blame the third-party vendors. It's not fair to us the way they do business. Horrible experience.

Tickets replaced with lesser value and no refund on the difference. After travelling to the city of the concert and booking a hotel, the tickets I ordered weren't released, so Stubhub offered me 3 replacement tickets that were worth US$51 less each as the only alternative to getting a refund, but they didn't want to give me the difference back. No point reasoning with them as customers are their least concern. Money is king for them.

I bought 2 tickets for a Broadway Musical. Stubhub confirmed and sent me online tickets. I then traveled into NYC, arrived at the theatre and when they checked the online ticket they told me it was not valid and I have to call Stubhub. I called and they said they couldn't do anything (they checked to see if there were any other seats - but it was sold out) and then said they would give me a refund. They wouldn't cover any of my expenses (e.g. parking) to travel into NYC. What a disappointment.

The ticket never came, but the seller supposedly said they sent it and accepted the money. They follow the seller's word. Other ticket sites weren't issuing tickets after the game started. It was around halftime. When you purchase tickets StubHub doesn't accept the tickets from the seller so they don't send them to the buyer. Ticketmaster is instant I think. I waited around. Never got an email. Luckily this was only $12.39 They said if the game was still going on then maybe they could have helped me. I contacted customer service a day later. I'd encourage to buy ahead of time and to contact them immediately after the cut off time, but yeah I was left feeling like I got frauded.
If things go smoothly then maybe you're fine, but if things go wrong then you might be out of luck. If StubHub is reading this I'd suggest maybe some sort of screenshot with the verification of transfer or to accept the tickets and send them yourselves because relying on random people can really mess up your platform. I'll forward this message on review sites and let the word out. I didn't check reviews before sending money which is my bad.

I purchased tickets in July for an event in Las Vegas in November. I specifically booked a 2 1/2 hour flight to Vegas for Bravocon, I paid over $600 Canadian for the ticket. It said tickets would be released the day of the event. I started messaging 3 hours before the event and they said the seller didn’t release the ticket so they tried someone else who also didn’t release the tickets. At 4 minutes to the start of the event some person texted me and said if I could come to his hotel he had tickets. It was at least 1 mile away so there was no way to get there and back in 4 minutes, so the only option provided at that point was a refund.

I purchased tickets through StubHub, but due to a death in my family, I was unable to attend the concert. On the day of the event, I listed the tickets for resale on their platform at a significant discount. Someone purchased them immediately. However, when I attempted to transfer the tickets to the buyer, I discovered that the tickets I had originally purchased from StubHub were fake. I could not deliver what I didn't legitimately have. StubHub's response? They charged me a $200 non-delivery fee. While they claimed I would be refunded, it is now [insert current month] and I still have not received my refund from the August 7th incident.
To be clear: StubHub sold me fraudulent tickets, then penalized me for being unable to deliver those same fraudulent tickets to another buyer. I am out the cost of the original fake tickets AND the $200 fee, with no resolution in sight despite their promises. This is unacceptable. StubHub's guarantee should protect buyers from fake tickets, not charge them additional fees when those fake tickets can't be transferred. Still waiting for my refund months later.

Clubs are absolutely cracking down on unauthorized tickets, and they are increasingly sophisticated in identifying a buyer with illegally sourced tickets both at the entry and even within the stadium. Stubhub does not respond to fraudulent ticket sales and will not reimburse you so you will be left trying to get credit from your credit card company.

When you choose where you want to sit it allows you to choose section and row but not seats (at least in my case) what I chose showed (verbatim) 2 tickets row section 144, row $340.00 fees included. I expected to pay $340.00 plus tax because fees were included. When you choose payment method you select card type like Mastercard and put in the info. You also pu5t your name, email address etc. The final cost does not show until after they have processed your payment. To my shock I was charged $752.93. They chose what seats and they happened to be 2 tickets being resold from a scalper. I immediately contacted them and all they did was lie and double talk.
When I got my tickets they were not in row 30 because there is no row 30. Everyone in the row we were in all paid an average of $250.00 for 2 tickets plus tax. I am pursuing this in court which will cost them more than they ever profited. I and everyone I know or ever will know will never use stubhub. You should check out the reviews.

I bought tickets for “A Charlie Brown Christmas” at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg for November 12, 2025. Naturally, I picked the most expensive seats—because apparently I enjoy financially suffering for “prime location.” I even bought parking in advance, because I’m thorough like that. So imagine my joy when I discovered later that StubHub—sitting smugly at the top of Google like it owns the entire internet—isn’t even part of the theater. Silly me for assuming the site plastered all over the search results was, you know, legitimate and connected to the actual venue. Nope. I could have clicked one inch lower and bought everything directly from the Mahaffey for much less. What a concept.
But let’s get to the main attraction. I paid $39.74 for a parking pass. Pricey, yes—but I naïvely assumed “prime parking” meant somewhere within the same ZIP code as the theater. Turns out this “prime” parking was a half-mile away—basically a scenic urban hike we had not planned on. But since we didn’t know any better, we gamely trekked the distance. And when we finally reached the theater—slightly winded but still upright—what did we see? A huge onsite parking lot for ten dollars. Ten. So yes, we paid more than triple the price to park farther away. Because apparently, at age 80, what we really needed was a cardiovascular challenge disguised as “parking.”
So here’s my public service announcement: Scroll past StubHub. Scroll like your financial sanity depends on it. Go directly to the venue’s website unless you enjoy surprise hikes and premium prices for bargain-bin service. Sure, I missed the fine print—that’s on me. But companies that charge top dollar for bottom-tier convenience? That’s on them. And trust me, they’re happy to take your money and give you as little as possible in return. You’ve been warned.

I bought tickets through StubHub because they advertise “100% guaranteed” and say you can “buy and sell with confidence.” That’s a lie. Here’s what actually happens: you buy tickets, they take your money immediately, and then you get an email saying your tickets will “arrive soon” and you’ll need to “accept them.” Translation: they don’t actually have the tickets they just sold you.
In my case, I was told I would get my tickets at least 3 hours before the show. The time came and passed and still no tickets. Two hours before the event, I had to reach out to them because they didn’t even bother contacting me. It took 20 minutes to get someone in their chat, only to be told I could either: Take worse tickets (literally last 2nd to last row of the stadium), for the same price, or get a refund and not go at all even though we’d already planned the night, gotten ready, and paid for a babysitter. So basically, StubHub sells you premium tickets they don’t actually have, waits until the last minute when you’re too invested to back out, and then offers you garbage seats or nothing. That’s not a “guarantee.” That’s bait and switch.
They did have better tickets listed on their own site when they offered me the trash tickets but wouldn’t give me those. They wouldn’t discount the worse seats. Just a robotic “we understand your frustration.” StubHub’s system is broken, dishonest, and fraudulent. They ruined our night, wasted our time, and turned what was supposed to be a fun event into a headache. If you’re considering buying through StubHub, don’t.

I told her that waiting to see IF they could find replacement tickets was not an option and that the only easy way to resolve the matter was to issue a full refund for event tickets. I was told that the matter was being forwarded to an investigative team for resolution. I explained to her that protecting scammers working through the StubHub system and allowing their customers to become victims of fraud was not good business and that, if necessary, I would report their actions to the appropriate agencies. She reiterated it would be investigated and that I would receive an email on the status of my request for a refund.

I have since filed complaints with various state government and consumer protection agencies, as well as the FBI's internet crime division.
Once StubHub was notified of my complaints by multiple agencies all of a sudden, they had "replacement" tickets available.

When I complained, StubHub tried to shift the blame to the seller, saying they’re just a marketplace. But if StubHub runs the platform, handles the money, and promises protection, then they’re responsible for ensuring the transaction is legitimate. Otherwise, what’s the point of using them?

Every time I call they are like we are escalating to our internal team and it's $400 worth of tickets and they cannot provide resolution or timeline on when I am expected to received my money back for tickets they cancelled on their side. Very BAD customer service, they can't provide any information or timelines about money and it's a substantial amount of money.
They are hoping that I forget about my money and never call and they can keep the money, but I am going to be calling every week. I don't understand if their internal team is not working at all or fired because it shouldn't take 6 months to review ESCALATED CASES. Just stay away from them. There are other platforms where you can purchase tickets from.

StubHub sells tickets to many venues but you are not assigned a seat, you are told to go to Will Call at the venue, only to discover you have NO seat, and you have to re-purchase seats from the venue. Blumenthal in Charlotte NC just burned us for re-purchase.

My husband purchased tickets for Dwight Yoakam. He paid $198 per ticket and got two. The day of the concert, he did not get the tickets until an hour before the show, that’s after a whole day of trying to get his tickets sent to him. When he got them, he was told the venue changed and the tickets were crappy nosebleeds for $66 a ticket. They said they couldn’t do anything and can’t do a refund since we received the tickets. They say they have the “fan protect guarantee" but that didn’t do anything but protect the scammer sellers. They are just as guilty of a scammer. They have the same skit each time I called. I was scammed by the seller through stub hub and stub hub! Please don’t buy from them.

Be careful when you purchase parking passes for certain venues. Some of these passes are from private vendors or residences, which have restrictive conditions like when the space is available to be used and for how long, and are located some distance from the actual venue. And of course, none of this is adequately disclosed on their website prior to the purchase. Buyer beware, because you do not want to get ripped off like I did!

STUB HUB is a complete scam. I will never use this company again! They did not provide my ticket as promised, cancelled ticket 5 minutes before show. They offered another ticket option with a small discount and I never received that ticket either. I am still calling them to get my refund. They keep telling me they are escalating my case and it will take 72 hours to get back to me. This is horrible customer service. I am on hold now waiting to speak to a supervisor. I am going to report them to the BBB.

Bought $400 ticket to see the Giants versus the 49ers for my birthday. This would have been my first ever NFL game to see my favorite team the 49ers and I was given the wrong ticket. Within 30 minutes I had to leave due to giants fan yelling at me for being on the wrong side. Waited outside until my friends was able to give me a ride back to Connecticut. I called Stubhub customer service and could have done is give me 25% for my next purchase. I explained to them that I will never use this ever because I was scammed from my original seats only to find out that the seller was sitting on the original seat that I purchase. I asked if they can cancel my remaining payment that I still owe. They said no because I used the ticket I received. I explained I didn't have any choice. I was left to endure the humiliation and embarrassment.

I wish I would have read the reviews on Stub Hub before I purchased a ticket for the Robert Plant show in Wheeling, W VA. I bought the ticket and was charged about two weeks before the show. It gave me a row and a section, but not the seat number as it said the venue had not yet released the seats, which I took to mean it might be where the sound board could be. I drove 500 miles, visited some family nearby and started trying to access my tickets three days before the event as I had received an email letting me know my ticket was ready; however, on their website I was caught in a perpetual loop, had to create additional accounts with Ticketmaster and continually check my spam mail. I emailed customer service and received nothing but an automated response several times.
The day of show, I drove another 100 miles to Wheeling and received a message when I logged in for the umpteenth time saying my ticket would be released by 4:30. It was not. I then spent half of my dinner with friends and the whole car ride to the venue trying to access my ticket via all of the links. No go. The box office then tried using bother their system and my phone to access the tickets for a half hour before they finally handed me a crappy ticket someone else couldn’t use, so I at least got to see the show from the back of the theater away from my friends.
After driving 500 miles back home and getting sick, I followed up three days later to let them know my experience. I supposedly got a real customer service rep eventually and they said they couldn’t do anything for me and chastised me for not reaching out before the show. Get your tickets from someone else! Stub Hub seems to be a scam.

My mom and I had a wonderful time at the Sphere last night. StubHub was a good source for great seats at a fair price. My only complaint is that they sold a parking pass through ParkWhiz that was described as being for the Sphere Parking Lot, but in reality, it was nearly 1.5 miles away from the venue which my disabled mom would not have been able to make. We ended up parking at a strip mall and taking an Uber to and from the venue, turning a prepaid $45 parking pass into a $100 rideshare trip. When StubHub asked me to rate my satisfaction with my purchase, I attempted to leave feedback, but the site simply took the 1 star I left and promptly ended the survey.

Be aware that they will often sell you tickets that the event organizer has specifically said that you cannot buy tickets from a reseller. Thus they often have have tickets that may not get you into the event. Should you buy legitimate tickets from them and should you have no problems with your purchase, they may be OK. But should anything go wrong with your purchase, their customer service team is there to deflect, obfuscate, and overwhelm you with BS, and will do literally nothing to help you. You can do better than this outfit.

I purchased 2 tickets for a show that was supposed to take place yesterday, October 30th. The show was cancelled per Ticketmaster on October 7th, and told a refund was due within 7-14 days. Nothing. I have been on the internet with Customer Service for over an hour. They indicate the show is "Postponed with no new date". All shows for this entertainer have been cancelled for this year, 2025. All StubHub says is "Watch your email for update." I have sent link about the cancellation, screenshot of the email from Ticketmaster and still nothing. I will never purchase anything from these guys or any other online ticket agent again. I will only go to the box office and purchase or not go at all. What a total ripoff. Just look at the reviews with one star. I have to eat the $350, it looks like. I feel sorry for the other person below this that paid $2500 and nothing. I have lived and learned.

Purchased tickets that showed status invalid. Started contacting customer service 2 days before the game and was promised tickets would be valid or I'd get replacement or refund. Tickets were not valid at the gate. Contacted customer service and was told I'd need to just wait but I told them I wasn't waiting and missing the game. I said I'd buy new tickets and I wanted a refund. Was told it was escalated. Almost a week later and I'm still fighting them. They keep telling me the "escalation team" denied my refund but they would escalted it to the other "escalation team" but no reason why and never received any actual response from this "escalation team". Just told this when I contact customer service each time. I've filed a dispute on the charge and if I don't get the charge off, I'm filing a civil suit. I refuse to let this go. I was told repeatedly their "FanProtect Guarantee" meant I was covered each time I contacted in the days leading up to the game.

What a disaster buying football tickets on StubHub! I ordered 4 tickets a couple of weeks before the game and received the wrong tickets about a week after ordering via email, in a section more towards the end zone. I requested the seats I ordered and the "seller" was unavailable. StubHub offered me a 25% discount or a full refund. I told StubHub I would let them know what I wanted to do. I then looked on StubHub and the seats I had ordered were still on sale! So, knowing I could return the incorrect seats, I ordered the same seats again! So, I waited to get the email with tickets. It got to be the night before the game and finally I received the tickets. They were not the seats I ordered once again and worse seats than the incorrect ones they sent me the first time, ugh!!!! So, I have my childhood friend, his wife and my 91 yr. old mother to take to the game and purchased 4 seats two times and never got the seats I ordered.
I called StubHub that night and they could not provide me the tickets I ordered twice, but offered me a refund. Great, I can get 2 refunds and have no tickets to the game. Thus, I used the best seats of the 2 sections and tried to return the 4 seats that would be unused. Keep in mind this is around midnight of the night before the game. We had to drive 2 hours to the game the next morning. The link StubHub sent me did not work to return the tickets, I notified StubHub I was having trouble returning them, got no reply and I gave up trying that night. I did not use the 4 tickets and requested a refund for them on Monday after the weekend.
I have now been through 2 escalations and they will not provide anything to me. Beware of StubHub sellers luring you in with seats you order and sending different ones. Of course, if they are better seats, that is great, but in my case neither order was better seats and never did get the seats I ordered twice!!!! Their outsourced customer service team has no power to do squat, so don't expect to get any love from StubHub. What a scam.

I was chatting with an agent who assured me my ticket would arrive because it was about an hour before the show start time and I hadn't received it yet. Well the ticket never came. I have since been refunded. However, I drove all the way to the arena because the agent assured me I would have the ticket. Even if it's 1 minute before the show. Tickets didn’t come. Customer service is awful. See photos of our chat. Be careful. Their guarantee is bogus. They offered me 3 other options for seats that were far from the stage. Not comparable like the guarantee says. I can’t wait until there is another class action lawsuit against this company.

Purchased tickets from Stan Harbor, which included row and seats. They confirmed and charged our credit card. Shortly after they canceled them and gave us a credit on our credit card then within a half hour they offered us new tickets with only the row not providing seat numbers. I refused tickets without seat numbers. They said I could go to Ticketmaster and my account And see where the seats were. I did so and found nothing. I did find seats in the same row at half the price they were offering. So I bought them. I went back to StubHub and told them I was not accepting their offer and cancel them and they said they would release the seats however They charged us for the seats anyway and I have no recourse to get my money back as there is no refund for tickets issued. The people on StubHub just play games to get higher prices. Buyer beware. This is a complete scamming app.

I’m honestly heartbroken and furious with StubHub. I trusted them completely when I bought my concert tickets, and they never delivered them. I spent weeks looking forward to this event, booked a hotel, and even paid for plane tickets just to be there — and all of it went to waste. StubHub kept saying the tickets would arrive, but they never did. I was left stranded with no entry to the concert I had dreamed about attending. I can’t even describe the disappointment of standing outside the venue knowing I paid for everything and couldn’t get in. This whole experience cost me time, money, and excitement, and I got nothing in return. I’ll never buy from StubHub again, and I hope no one else has to go through what I did.

I had tickets up on StubHub for resale. The 2 tickets both sold to 2 separate individuals. I sent one of the tickets back to Ticketmaster as one of the buyers did not accept the ticket. Both tickets were accepted by the buyers. StubHub charged me for a full ticket price of $227 dollars after the concerts, saying I did not transfer the ticket however the buyer accepted the ticket. It took 1 hour on the chat to finally get a telephone number to contact them. I was on the phone for 4 hours and 45 min, was hung up on 3 times while waiting for a supervisor. After 30+days, they denied me payment, stating it was my fault and they provided no proof. I have over 20 emails and screenshots and they just said, the decision is final and yes that must be frustrating. A total and complete scam. A class action lawsuit should be brought against them. There is no oversight and basically, we are at their mercy. It’s appalling.

When I ordered my tickets I was mislead into buying a parking pass which I didn't want to purchase! It said it was going to be about $66 where it ended up being $100.
My husband and I drove around for an hour trying to find this parking place! It did not exist. Only to find out the parking lot we ended up there were three other people that had the same situation with StubHub and the scam on this exact parking lot. Everyone was very upset! Where we sat at the concert the people right next to us had the exact same problem with StubHub and the parking place. I will never ever ever use StubHub again for anything.
