    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    DO NOT PURCHASE FROM STUBHUB!!!! In June of 2025 I purchased tickets through Stubhub to an event in October 2025. Months after purchase I still had not received tickets and decided to inquire about it because other members of my family used Ticketmaster and received tickets at time of purchase (Now had I got a discount maybe I could understand, but no I paid way more for my tickets than they did and was empty handed after purchase). I chatted w/ a support specialist in August who stated the event holder had not released the tickets but no worries I should receive them soon.

    In September I began communicating with CS because this was gonna require a hotel stay and a lengthy drive. I was then told that my tickets would arrive in my email the day of the event at 4pm...The event was at 7pm. So then I started researching and reading the nightmare experiences with lawsuits, not receiving tickets, failures to get refunds, fake tickets, and numerous other issues w/ stubhub. Of course they have a NO RETURN policy. I was not willing to waste a hour trip and hotel stay with my fingers crossed that Stubhub would deliver legit tickets before I walk in the door. Customer Service via chat and phone were horrible.

    My only recourse was to allow stubhub to resale the tickets that I never got for $30.00 cheaper than I paid for them. Which to my surprise was an easy process until they sold. Then I was asked to provide my SS# for recouping 152.00 of my 183.00 purchase. After arguing w/ customer support that they had no legal right to obtain my SS# to reimburse me for imaginary tickets, they basically told me it would be the only way I could get the money back. So I pay 183.00 for tickets I never received, resale them to your sight through you for only 150.00 and you now want my ss# or you just keep the 183.00 I paid and the 150.00 that someone else supposedly paid you for them?

    Who got the extra 30.00? How many other extra dollars have you stollen from other people? I created a PayPal acct., gave a 1234.... Tax ID# and it's now been 4 days since the event that I did not get to attend and no transfer has been made to my PayPal acct. Stubhub is in short are crooks.

    Just terrible experiences with Stubhub. One music show I ordered tickets and they never arrived. I spent an age on the chat 30mins before the show started to get replacement tickets. I was an hour late for the show. More recently I got the same problem with Stubhub selling the promise of tickets. No sign of tickets the day before the show. I spent another age on their chat and they promised me a refund and so I didn't go to the show. No refund appeared so I spent another age on the chat and they told me the agent did not 'screen shot' the chat so they have no record of it and so not giving a refund - is that really believable, surely they have to back-up the chat history. For me it's not really about the money. These experiences are supposed to be fun so I can never use Stubhub again and would not recommend anyone else to do so - avoid.

When I contacted them the next day, they said they’d refund the ticket cost (still waiting to see that happen), but told me I’d still be charged $70 for parking since that ticket “was delivered.” So apparently, I have to pay for parking at a concert I wasn’t even able to attend — because StubHub failed to deliver what I paid for.

The theater confirmed those were NOT the seats we paid for. We had used the tickets to walk in the door - so according to Stub Hub THAT is where the customer service, or "guarantee" ENDS for StubHub. "Sorry, you walked in - it's not our responsibility anymore." Made numerous attempts to correct and find a reasonable solution to no avail. BUY FROM THE SOURCE, NOT 3RD PARTY SELLERS.

    My friends and I bought tickets off of StubHub for the Tate McRae concert. They were good seats, but we got an email later saying we were “upgraded” free of charge. Once we got there, we went to our new seats and they were fully behind the stage and you couldn’t see a thing, also no one else was sitting in the section. These seats would have been significantly cheaper and this is fraud. When I called for a refund the next morning, they told me they could only take action if I had contacted them during the concert (which isn’t even during their customer service hours). This is ridiculous and unacceptable.

    I strongly advise against utilizing the services of this company as they have proven to be highly unreliable. Specifically, I purchased tickets for an 8:00 p.m. show on October 18th, 2025, but upon receiving the tickets, they indicated a 5:00 p.m. show. Despite verifying all other details, which confirmed the 8:00 p.m. showtime, the tickets were invalid upon arrival at the gate. Upon contacting the company, I discovered that they had mistakenly given my 8:00 p.m. tickets to another individual attending the 5:00 p.m. show. Furthermore, they attempted to sell me additional 5:00 p.m. tickets for the same day, despite the fact that it was already 8:00 p.m. Their actions demonstrate a significant lack of competence, and I would strongly recommend avoiding their services.

I was told by one person, I wouldn't be able to get tickets at all. And I had to wait till the next day to have a solution at the same time.

    While I was chatting with someone they were able to offer replacement tickets. I did ask for a refund or even a partial refund. Due to the lack of professionalism and lies, I was told to all day that day. And the fact that I had to miss more than half of the show and instead of them taking any sort of accountability or even trying to make this right.

I was never able to access the parking pass. I kept contacting StubHub though my app and was discussing the problem with a "bot". My concerns about not having the tickets days before the event were ignored. The response was dismissive. We opted for an UBER since we NEVER received the parking pass. Now, I am being told that the bot discussion as not recorded. Since there is no record of my calling earlier that it is too late for a refund. There was no indication that the bot conversations were not considered company contact.

    As a consumer, I assumed that the bot represented their company. Especially since it takes 20 to 30 minutes hold time to speak to a live representative. When I asked how a customer would know that bot conversations are not considered contact, no one had an answer. Very poor customer service from start to finish.

The event was at 2pm, my pass was to start at 1pm. I am on the phone with them as I am driving to the show, frantic because I am from out of town. Finally I am told they were cancelling the pass and putting in an expedited pass. At 1:04 pm I receive an email from Stub Hub saying my pass was ready, I could accept or cancel. I accepted assuming my pass would be provided immediately, then I was directed to an email saying I will receive an email with the pass from the vendor.

    I call Stub Hub explaining I am downtown and do not have my pass so I have to find alternative parking. I am told when the pass arrives I can accept or cancel it and if there was no option to cancel to call back and I would receive a refund. The pass did not arrive until 15 minutes later and it did not have an option to cancel. I did not accept the parking pass. When I called Stub Hub to process my refund I am told there is nothing they can do about it because the parking venue had an hour before the show to provide my ticket. I asked why they didn't tell me that when their email said the ticket was ready and he had no explanation, just told me they could not do a refund because I had accepted Stub Hub's email. I said, "Your email said my pass was ready, it didn't say I'd have to wait longer and I am talking to your representative nonstop during this process and am assured I will receive a refund."

    Updated on 11/10/2025: Worst company I've ever had the displeasure of doing business with. I spent about $1000 for tickets to see Billy Joel. 2 days later his concert is postponed for 14 months. Then his concert is canceled. StubHub still has not refunded my money or issued a credit for the tickets. It has been almost 6 months. Despite contacting them via phone, chat and email over and over again, all they will say is they will escalate the matter and to wait 30-90 days. I will never buy tickets from StubHub again. They are a bunch of thieves.

    Original Review: Do not purchase tickets through StubHub when there are other options. I purchased Billy Joel tickets for our daughter's 18th birthday. I bought the tickets on 3/8/25. On 3/12/25, I received an email that the concert was postponed until 7/3/26, YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY - MORE THAN A YEAR LATER, due to Billy Joel's illness widely reported in the news. We didn't want to wait a year and already had plans for the 4th of July weekend so I filed a dispute with PayPal. When I found out there were no refunds at StubHub unless a concert was canceled, I did not go any further with my dispute. PayPal closed my dispute on April 1st. On 5/23/25, StubHub advised that the concert had been canceled and they would be issuing refunds. I have been trying to get my refund for 4.5 months now. I've emailed proof that the chargeback was released on multiple occasions. I've sent emails on numerous occasions.

    I've chatted online with customer service. I've called customer service. My most recent call to them was today, 10/9/25. After explaining the situation and being put on hold numerous times, I received an email that my refund was in my StubHub wallet. When you go to the wallet, a code is required. The representative did not have a code, could not get a code and told me it would take up to 90 days for a resolution. These people have had around $1000 of my money for 7 months. How many more "90 days" do I have to wait? This is the most ridiculous crap I think I have ever encountered. They won't let you speak to someone higher up. I think after all this time, I need my total refund, plus additional money based on how long it has taken and I still do not have my money. Take your business somewhere else.

    Got caught up in a classic bait and switch from a ticket seller on this platform. I ordered one set of tickets, but received a different set that weren't the same quality. My problem is that StubHub sided with the seller based on a cryptic set of "rules" governing what is a reasonable substitution. The rules take nothing into consideration about the physical character venue or the objectives of the ticket buyer, only the proximity of the seats to the stage. After much not-very-customer-service-oriented discussion with a unempowered StubHub agent, I was offered (and accepted) a refund, only to have the offer rescinded a day later due to what StubHub described as a breach of "protocol" by the customer service agent. SInce all this happened within 24 hours of the event, I was unable to react to StubHub's change of decision and missed the event. So distressing. Won't buy from them again.

    My buddy and I bought tickets from StubHub for a concert in Cleveland that were already nearly double face value plus obnoxious fees, but they guaranteed them. Both of us took off work. Went out to eat then once we got to the show they never sent us the tickets and said they didn't have any other to send us but only offered us tickets that we had to pay over four times face value. They are a scam! Don't trust them!

    I purchased tickets for a sold out event months in advance for $150. A few days before the event, the venue sent me an email stating I could get additional tickets at face value. I did not do this because of StubHub's "guarantee." The day of the event, I go to the venue and the seller does not delivery the tickets on time. Stub Hub tells me that I can get replacement tickets. I then click that option and I am told that I am not able to get that option and have to get refunded. I get refunded and then go on stub hub and buy tickets for $350. I had to pay an extra $200 for the exact same tickets. They were both GA standing tickets. Stub Hub refuses to refund me and actually made a larger commission because I purchased the more expensive tickets. I will never use Stub Hub again.

    ⚠️ Beware if you are reselling tickets on StubHub! I purchased a concert ticket in April 2025 for a show scheduled in September 2025. Later, I decided to relist the ticket in April on the same day through StubHub. When I called customer service, the representative told me I’d have to wait until after the event to see if my ticket sold. When I checked the stadium’s seating chart, my original seat appeared shaded in gray, which usually indicates it’s been sold. I followed up with StubHub in late September and was told I’d receive a refund within 5–7 business days.

    Today, after calling again, I was informed that I would not be getting a refund at all because StubHub claims my ticket was never sold. I received no email or letter notification about this. This experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. They pocket my money.... They did not offer a partial credit or anything. Be cautious when using StubHub to resell your tickets — make sure to track all details and verify sales directly with the venue if possible.

    StubHub failed to deliver a valid ticket and then provided contradictory and misleading information, violating its FanProtect® Guarantee and engaging in deceptive trade practices that deprived me of both the product and the opportunity to secure alternatives. I contacted StubHub repeatedly on game day and was told the seller defaulted and that FanProtect® had been triggered. Despite this acknowledgment, StubHub stalled until after kickoff.

    Chronology:

    Sept 21, 2025: Purchased ticket for $540.50 via StubHub under the FanProtect® Guarantee.
    Sept 28, 2025 (9:56 AM PST): Contacted StubHub after no ticket delivery. Call records confirm escalation.
    12:10 PM: StubHub emailed that the seller could not deliver, and FanProtect® was triggered.
    12:19–12:24 PM: StubHub sent “ticket ready” and Ticketmaster sent “View Your Tickets” emails, but no ticket appeared in my account.
    12:56 PM: Re-contacted StubHub by chat and phone; still no replacement provided.

    1:25 PM: Game began; no access, no refund, no replacement.

    Post-event: StubHub continued sending “ticket ready” emails after the event had already started. Oct 7, 2025: Follow-up chat shows StubHub now falsely asserting that I “accepted” the ticket — directly contradicting prior written acknowledgments that the seller defaulted.

    Consequences: This conduct deprived me of the benefit of the bargain, caused direct financial loss, and rendered the FanProtect® Guarantee meaningless. The event was part of a once-in-a-lifetime 50th birthday trip with 15 friends — all of whom attended while I was left outside the stadium. Travel and lodging costs exceeded $3,300. StubHub’s contradictory responses, refusal to escalate, and false claim that I “accepted” tickets are evidence of systemic misrepresentation and bad-faith business practice.

    Pattern: My experience matches thousands of BBB complaints describing the same sequence: FanProtect® invoked shortly before or after events begin, contradictory “ticket ready” messages, and prolonged internal reviews that deny timely refund or remedy. This suggests a deliberate delay strategy that misleads consumers and frustrates recourse.

    Legal and regulatory concerns: StubHub’s actions may constitute: Deceptive trade practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act (15 U.S.C. §45); Breach of its own FanProtect® Guarantee, a consumer-facing contractual obligation; False advertising and unfair delay practices causing monetary and consequential harm.

    Requested FTC action:

    Investigate StubHub, Inc. for deceptive or unfair business practices in the administration of its FanProtect® Guarantee.
    Require restitution for the $540.50 purchase price and consequential losses exceeding $3,300 (airfare, hotel, transport).
    Obtain injunctive relief mandating timely notice of seller default and prohibiting contradictory “ticket ready” messages after events begin.

    Require disclosure of internal policies that delay replacement or refund until within one hour of event start time.

    Attachments (evidence):

    Exhibit 1: Order confirmation & FanProtect® terms.
    Exhibit 2: StubHub “seller default” and “ticket ready” emails (Sept 28).
    Exhibit 3: Ticketmaster “View Your Tickets” email (no ticket visible).
    Exhibit 4: Phone log and survey timestamp (9:56 AM call).

    Exhibit 5–9: StubHub chat transcripts (game day and follow-up).

    Exhibit 10: Oct 8, 2025 chat transcript — StubHub contradicts prior admissions (“seller defaulted” vs. “tickets accepted”).
    Exhibit 11: BBB complaint filed Sept 29, 2025 (pending).

    Exhibit 12: Proof of travel and lodging expenses.

    Conclusion:

    StubHub’s conduct demonstrates an institutionalized pattern of deception and delay. The FanProtect® Guarantee is being used as a marketing tool rather than an enforceable promise. Consumers are systematically deprived of remedies until after events occur, resulting in financial loss and loss of use. This matter warrants immediate FTC investigation and potential enforcement action.

    I bought tickets to a concert 4 months beforehand and realized that I had accidentally bought wheelchair row tickets in my rush to get them. There was no confirmation or warning that these were not regular seats before checkout. StubHub would not accept any returns or exchanges, and my only recourse was to try and resell the tickets. They sold a few weeks later, and there was a note that my tickets would be delivered to me so I could transfer to the buyer at 4:00 the day of the concert. But I was fined because I didn't send the tickets to the buyer before 3:00 the day of the concert. Makes no sense. Customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. The AI chatbot is useless, and it's very difficult to talk to an actual person. I'll just use Ticketmaster from now on, at least they accept returns within 24 hours.

    StubHub is very close to being qualified as a scam. My story goes like this. I bought a ticket last Sunday (only because I didn’t know how bad the customer service could be and how bad everything is there). The price was very comparable to Ticketmaster’s, and the seats were better. However, what first surprised me was that I didn’t get the tickets right away. I got an email saying they might arrive up to two hours before the concert, which was scheduled to happen in eight days.

    The next morning, I did get a ticket, and surprisingly, it was from Ticketmaster, but it was waaay worse than what I had actually bought. So I immediately contacted their customer service, went through the robot system, and finally reached a real person. I explained the problem, and they said, “Yeah, okay, it’s a human mistake, we’ll fix it. Don’t worry, you’ll get your tickets in a few days.”

    Three days passed, and nothing happened. I contacted them again. They weren’t even aware that I had already reached out, so I had to explain it all again. They said they would elevate my case. I actually just asked for a refund, and they said, “We don’t know if it’s going to happen; it might, but if you find those tickets, we will not give you a refund.” The next day, they changed the ticket again. It was slightly better than the previous option, but still not what I had bought. And that was it. The way they spoke and handled everything was terrible. I actually thought it was a scam, 100%. But after doing more research, I found out they’re not exactly a scam, just very, very close. AVOID!!!

    Our ticketed event was canceled, so Stubhub promised tickets for the rescheduled event. The tickets arrived for the wrong date. We called Stubhub 4 times before the show in an attempt to get the tickets reissued. Each time we were promised that we needed to show up on the correct date and that we would have no problem getting in. Of course, this was not true. It is clear that Stubhub representatives have been coached to lie to customers in the hopes that things will work out. The customer service representatives were less than useless. If they had just told us that we couldn’t get in and refunded our tickets, we would have saved the hours we spent on the phone and the time we spent driving to and from the event.

    I'll likely NEVER buy tickets through StubHub again! They deserve 0 stars but that isn't an option. After purchasing tickets to a basketball game, I never received the tickets; just a confirmation email. So I text the online chat. They tell me that me tickets could not be delivered due to some issue with AXS and they sent me a link to my email. The link had an option to get a replacement ticket or a refund. I look at the replacement ticket options knowing I bought tickets for a 100 level section and they offered me a replacement ticket in the 200 level section. Their online system generates these replacement apparently based on cost but I buy tickets based on location.

    Obviously swapping a 100 level ticket for 200 level doesn't do me any justice so I ask for a manager; No manager available on duty. So I'm just left with having to either refund and not attend, get a lesser version of the experience I purchased, or just pay them again for a different ticket. Even the customer service agent agreed that I got the crappy end of the stick but also let me know that there was nothing anybody could do to rectify the situation.

    Less than an hour before event they hadn’t don’t anything. They try to exchange at 50 minutes before the game upper deck, end zone, student section tickets for the 20 yard line lower bowl tickets.

Stubhub had also never taken the original obstructed view seats back.

    Presented with worse tickets than the original problem ones- I used the original tickets with obstructed view. I then contacted stubhub to complain they never fixed original issue. They said they escalated issue but never contacted me back. I called and they basically said, "We sent you replacement tickets. You accepted.

Then I got an email indicating that they are charging me for the tickets I own, so I paid twice for them, once to Hollywood Bowl and One the Stub Hub even though I received no money for them.

    This is absolutely ridiculous. If they took someone's money for the tickets and cancelled the sale they can give the money back or replace it with other tickets with the money they already have. It's robbery and should not be allowed to happen. I never remember reading anything about that and if that's a policy that should be in bold print before one lists their tickets.

    StubHub is a platform that facilitates ticket resales by independent sellers. I had an issue with four tickets I purchased from StubHub and before going to them I went straight to Ticketmaster regarding the problem, I also visited a Ticketmaster booth in person, where I was informed that the tickets had been transferred and subsequently canceled by the original seller. This clearly points to fraudulent behavior by the seller who used StubHub platform to profit at my expense, leaving me without valid tickets for the event. Additionally, I contacted StubHub and then they denied me a refund staying that I had not contacted them, which is not true. I communicated via the platform’s chat system, where I spoke with a representative who informed me that I would be transferred to someone else who could assist me further. I waited for a response that never came.

    Due to being in Mexico at the time, I was unable to make a direct phone call and had no option but to rely on the chat function—hoping to get a response from a live agent. I also attempted to call but no one answered. All I am asking for is a refund of the amount I paid for the tickets. While I also incurred travel and accommodation costs—including airfare and a hotel stay—I am not seeking reimbursement for those. I simply want the platform to stand by its responsibility and issue a refund for the invalid tickets. I also hope appropriate action is taken against the seller who committed this clear act of fraud using their platform. Bottom line StubHub is not a reliable source to use for event tickets!

My family drove all the way to birmingham from dothan alabama, got a motel room and spent hours on the phone hearing the same lies and excuses over and over again. I wholeheartedly believe they are a scam operation and will no longer be using their services and I highly recommend thinking ten times before anyone uses their service.

    Zero Stars. Do not purchase from StubHub. Our tickets were invalid and we could not get into the stadium. We were told the tickets were used at entry 20 minutes prior so the seller sold duplicates. We called customer service and they did not help us. We were left outside to buy new tickets on our own and we are still seeking a refund. Customer service is also in Asia and unresponsive.

    Haven't had any issues until a seller canceled the transaction. Tickets were in my Ballpark app and StubHub allowed the seller to pull them back. Their FanProtect guarantee states: Your tickets will be the same as or comparable to those you ordered. If any of these things do not occur and you comply with applicable policies and timelines, we will find you comparable or better tickets to the event. Neither of those happened. I had premium tickets and they tried to replace my tickets with nosebleeds.

    I am a NYG season ticket holder but don't always need parking so I don't opt in for parking passes. All venue parking onsite is by season ticket holders parking pass. When necessary I have always bought passes from Ticketmaster. Who is a monopoly and overpriced. Once in the past I used StubHub. They had a venue outside the stadium where you would pick up the pass. Inconvenient but I had no problem. Now they allow digital tickets only. So here is the rub that they don't tell you. They have a agreement with the ticket holder they never actually have possession of the digital ticket. So you pay them they alert the holder and they use TICKETMASTER to send you the digital ticket. I paid a ridiculous amount and never received the ticket at all. It was hard to track down their so-called help. In the end I was in traffic at the stadium still did not have the pass and had to pay for offsite parking and be bussed in another 80 dollars.

    When I reached the stadium, I reached out to an advisor who did not contact me till after them game. I showed them the ticket master screen shots which showed I had NO access to the tickets. Their response was this... I should have called earlier. The tickets were sent to me the game day at 7am for a 1 pm game. They would have been able to have me pick up the ticket at the ticket office. Which is at the stadium! meaning I need a parking pass to get my parking pass. OR have someone wait while I walk 2 miles back and forth to stadium to park. They claim it was a Ticketmaster problem. They never ever provided me with any proof that the pass was at all real, or that it was sent to me.

    I know as a season ticket holder when I send tickets it goes directly to the person from Ticketmaster and I can open it up and use it. At best this is StubHub facilitating a scam by the owner of the pass. At worst they just don't care as long as they have their money and they aren't giving it back. Several emails amount to... "Sucks to be you dude."

    My husband & I bought VIP tickets to a concert, but apparently you need the last name of the original ticket-holder, which we were not given. We paid quite a bit extra for the VIP experience, but were asked to leave the VIP line since we didn't have the last name. We called Stubhub from the venue to get the name, the venue rep even tried to get the last name on the phone from them.... still no name... no VIP, after almost $3,000 for tickets!

    Later tried to take advantage of the "100% guaranteed or your money back!"... poo! Even with screenshot of phone call & the rep admitting that the last name was never given, they said "Sorry, we can't help you". The guarantee is USELESS!!! The customer service is USELESS!

    I will never do business with this company again. They set a deadline of an hour before events for tickets to be delivered. For a 5 pm central time event, the time shows up as 2 pm. What they fail to mention is 1/ when the deadline will be in advance of your purchase and 2/ the time zone of the 2 pm deadline (which is Pacific time). Stubhub stuck out twice. Saturday, September 27, I had 2 tickets for 10 pm CT. I did not receive the tickets by 9 pm CT and they offered 1 replacement ticket. What? Seriously? I wasted 90 minutes of my time driving to the venue and back. Finally got a refund for the event but not the parking pass I had purchased. I then made the erroneous assumption based on a customer service conversation that if I purchased tickets for the show on Sunday, it won't be a problem. Should not have listened as it became a problem. Unresponsive sellers are a huge issue on the platform.

    Additionally, the hour deadline for tickets before an event is unacceptable. Does Stubhub not realize that you are asking people to potentially drive an hour one-way only to get to an event and not have tickets, turn around, and drive an hour back? The company needs to ensure that deadlines are met at least 3 hours before an event. And it needs to preclude sellers who can't deliver from selling on their platform. I am done with this horrible company.

    I sold $3,700 worth of tickets on 9/13, and StubHub listed my payout date as 9/22. It is now 9/27 and I still have not seen payment, despite being told by multiple agents and supervisors (through repeated phone calls and chats) that the money was coming “that day.” StubHub has already collected from buyers months ago, so there is no reason to hold seller payments this long. This is not only frustrating, it is unethical and completely unacceptable.

    The customer service experience has been a nightmare. Agents contradict supervisors, everyone gives different answers, and the online portal provides nothing but vague, useless information. There is no consistency, no accountability, and no real transparency. Based on my research, this is not an isolated issue but a widespread, systemic problem. On Reddit, forums, and other complaint sites, I see the same story again and again—StubHub delays payments, misleads sellers, and makes it nearly impossible to get straight answers.

    This is not just bad customer service—it’s predatory business. StubHub is essentially holding sellers’ money hostage, earning interest on funds that do not belong to them while sellers are left waiting, sometimes for weeks. It amounts to an interest-free loan that sellers are forced into giving. The constant delays, broken promises, and misinformation feel like deliberate tactics to wear people down until they stop fighting.

    I have documented everything: recorded calls, screenshots of chats, and every assurance that was broken. I have also contacted the American Arbitration Association to explore every possible legal avenue. StubHub presents itself as a trusted marketplace, but their actions suggest the opposite. They exploit sellers, delay payments without justification, and operate in a way that borders on fraud. I will never use StubHub again for buying or selling, and I strongly urge others to avoid this company if they value their time, money, and sanity. StubHub’s payment practices are deceptive, unethical, and should be investigated immediately.

    StubHub guarantees that if you get obstructed view and it's not listed on the ticket you get new seats or a refund. My daughter & I went to Chappell Roan lastnight in New York. She is our FAV artist & we were SO excited! It was another $75 for tolls & parking. We were beyond disappointed to be led to our seats only to find it was a side stage seat with that was extremely obstructed. I NEVER would have purchased them if it stated that or showed the view. We even looked up the view and the seats were not obstructed which is false advertising and fraud. I paid over $600 for them. The entire show took place under the stage due to the rain so we basically sat in the pouring rain listening to our FAV artist but not being able to see thing. I tried to reach out to StubHub numerous times to resolve the issue before the show started. I was told there was nothing they could do, that I had to wait until the next day.

    I begged them to give us different seats. They said they couldn't. I could ask for a refund the next day. How does that help me? We wanted to see the show that we were SO excited for! This is inexcusable. Period. I called today because I have tickets to a show in Boston 10/2 & I have not received the tickets yet. I don't want to drive five hours there, spend the night in a hotel to learn that the tickets are no good, I've lost faith and trust in them after last night. I was even more frustrated to learn that if I had just called them last night, they would've given me new tickets when that's what I begged them to do last night three times. There was no number listed & I begged the chat to give me a phone number. I've been a customer of theirs for over a decade and this situation just ended that relationship. I needed their help last night and they chose not to issue new tickets.

    I would have have preferred to have gotten general admission to see the stage. I will no longer do business with StubHub. You let me down. But even worse than that, you let down my daughter. Seeing the disappointment in her eyes crushed me. And the fact that you won't resell my Boston tickets for 10/2 and provide a credit for me to get tickets here in NYC because I can't trust that these tickets will be valid shows me that my business is not valuable to you. There is a review below that they traveled, their tickets weren't valid and you gave them a refund. They spent money for a rental car, hotel. This is my point exactly.

    After last night I don't trust you. I want my money back for 10/2 or a credit to get tickets here locally in NYC. I'm being told I will get the tickets day of. NO! That's not good enough. We'll see if I even get a refund for last night's show. I was told it could take up to 14 days to review & issue a refund if they find my dispute valid.

    I was simply trying to check ticket prices for a concert, but the entire experience felt misleading. The platform displays prices for individual tickets without clearly indicating whether they’re resale listings—if it’s mentioned at all, it’s likely buried in fine print. On top of that, they add excessive fees that dramatically inflate the final cost. When searching for multiple tickets, they only show the price per seat, making it difficult to see the total cost until you reach the payment screen. You have to scroll down and expand the price breakdown manually to understand what you're actually being charged. I was using a browser to check prices and thought I was selecting three orchestra tickets priced around $1,500 total. However, the page didn’t load properly, and when I clicked “Next,” it triggered an automatic payment via Apple Pay. I ended up being charged $3,800 without realizing it.

    I tried to cancel the payment immediately, but there was no option to do so. StubHub was unresponsive and offered no help. I explored every possible solution short of legal action. I even attempted to resell the tickets, only to discover that the actual market price on Ticketmaster was around $400 per ticket. These were already resale tickets marked up by someone trying to profit. To make matters worse, StubHub took a significant cut—earning more than half of the total transaction through commissions from both the buyer and the seller.

I contacted StubHub staff who worked with me to sell the parking pass. Surprisingly, a buyer purchased them. The day of the event I was called by StubHub that the buyer did not realize the parking was so far away and so I was responsible for both the cost of the ticket and now a penalty fee.

I wasn’t asking for a refund; I simply wanted to know how such a basic error could happen and how I could trust their listings in the future. I never received an answer. Selling tickets with the wrong venue and then hiding behind a policy when confronted is unacceptable. Accurate event details are the most fundamental part of a ticketing service.

    Buyer beware. StubHub is not bad when it "works," but a nightmare that can cost you thousands out of pocket and a horrible experience the same day you're supposed to be having a good time. There’s a chance you will be left stranded in front of your venue, either having to buy other tickets or just not be able to attend.

    They are a ticket reseller that do not actually possess the tickets. They will tell you that your purchase is "protected," but you better make sure you keep screenshots of all your chats when you are trying to resolve an issue of your tickets not being delivered. If you don’t get the issue resolved by the time the event has passed, they will use that as their mantra for not honoring their “guarantee”. I used StubHub a few times before the event on September 13th with so-so experience, but I’ve learned my very expensive lesson and will never use them again.

    Experience: I purchased tickets for a football game a month prior to the event. I received an email saying I am “guaranteed”, and that you may not get your tickets until the day of the event but “don’t worry, you’re protected”. Never received the promised email and early the morning of the event (around 6 am), I asked StubHub to retransfer the tickets. I received an email from StubHub at 9:55 am saying that the seller had retransferred the tickets and to look for an email from the seller. When I didn’t receive anything, yet again, I started using their chat function at about 10:15 am. BTW, good luck finding a phone number to call and speak with an actual person. Their chat requires you to use a virtual assistant first before finally getting to a “live agent”.

    Chat experience: I’m presuming my chat kept disconnecting because of the volume since my phone had full bars and I was sitting in front of the entrance watching people go in while I typed away on my phone. Be careful when chatting and take screenshots. I was informed the day after, when I was finally able to stay connected with “someone”, that there was no record of my attempting to get assistance. StubHub will also use this as their mantra and continually say that they would love to help you but since the event has passed and there is “no record” of issues reported prior to the event for your order, there is nothing they can do. Now, I’m having to dispute the charge with my CC company because I never received the goods or services I paid for.

    My experience with StubHub was extremely disappointing. Customer service not only failed to help me, but they also gave me the wrong information. When I tried to email a dispute, I never received a response. I called several times to follow up, and still got no real help — only to find out later that my dispute was denied without explanation. The lack of communication and accountability from StubHub made the whole process frustrating and stressful. I would not recommend using this platform for reselling tickets or buying. The worse experience.

    StubHub is the biggest scam I've ever experienced, would not suggest trying to sell your tickets there because they can't get their shit together. Sold a pair of tickets and was never given a method to ship them nor an address to ship them to. Got charged $650 even after being on the phone with their support team multiple times and being told it was not my fault that I couldn't ship the tickets, there was an issue with the buyer's address. Was told I would not be charged and yet here we are. Absolutely unprofessional pieces of shit.

    Sold tickets to a concert on StubHub, followed all prompts to transfer tickets, even called customer service for guidance. They walked me thru the process step by step, even had me send them a screenshot to prove I transferred correctly. Told me based on sellers protection policy that I would be paid in full for my sale since I did every step correctly. After the event started I received an email that stubhub canceled my sale and charged ME the amount I sold my tickets for, plus $35. In all Stubhub charged me almost $400.

    I immediately called customer service and was assured that since I had done everything correctly and sent picture proof, I would receive payment for sale of my tickets and be refunded the amount charged. I just had to wait for a follow up email and file a dispute. So I did, along with picture proof. 2 weeks stubhub emails me the result of my dispute and told me I will not receive payment for my sale and they charged my credit card almost $400. This company outsourced its customer service to other countries and takes no accountability for inadequate customer service knowledge, help and false statements. Be very cautious if you try to sell anything on Stubhub. They are not a reputable company and hold zero liability for their statements and actions.

    I will NEVER order tickets through StubHub ever again. I bought 2 tickets to Jonas Bros. at Fenway and then just a couple of days later I found out I can't make it on the date so I relisted them. Getting no bites, I kept dropping the price. Finally, they sold; however, I did not get the tickets to transfer them to the buyer until THE DAY OF THE SHOW. Knowing they were coming, I did make the transfer and confirmed it with Redsoxticketing.com and even provided StubHub with the email I received; however, StubHub says I did not load them to the correct listing (apparently when I lowered my price I created a new listing) - and "their hands are tied".

    I lost almost $400 and was only expected to get back $85 from both tickets. I filed a complaint via certified mail as they require (another $13), and STILL they say it's not their fault. The only instructions I received was to upload tickets to a certain email address which I did (and Redsoxticketing.com confirmed), so I'm at a loss as to how I get ANY money back. They are thieves!!!

    DO NOT USE STUBHUB!! One star review only because zero is not an option. Although we had used StubHub previously to sell tickets we could not use, and were grateful for the service in selling the tickets, our experience in purchasing tickets was just the opposite and ruined the highlight of a once in a lifetime vacation. We bought 2 tickets for the F1 Grand Prix in Monza Italy more than 6 months prior to the race. Once purchased we are not allowed to cancel (not that we wanted to). The ticket seller is not obligated to provide the tickets until 24 hours prior to the event. We were travelling from Canada to Italy for this race, we planned our entire Europe trip around the date for this race. Despite reaching out to Stubhub a couple times prior to the race, they would not (could not) provide confirmed tickets ahead of the stated 24 hours prior to the event.

    Just a couple days before the race, as we were getting ready to leave Paris for Milan for the Monza Grand Prix, we received notification that the seller was not able to provide the committed tickets. No other tickets were available. They did refund our money, but that does not account for the thousands of dollars we spent on getting to Italy for the race.

    It is deplorable that, we as a buyer, cannot cancel the purchase but the seller is not held responsible to provide the tickets until the last minute. If the seller is advertising the tickets, they presumably have the tickets in hand, otherwise they should not be able to advertise the tickets for sale. If they have the tickets in hand they should be obligated to release the tickets to the buyer immediately upon purchase. My opinion, in my case, I feel the seller either did not yet have the tickets and they were selling them on speculation that they could get the tickets or they had the tickets and were later able to sell them for more than what I originally bought them for (it was a sold out event). Stubhub needs to step up and support their customers.

    I've used StubHub many times no issues, last week I arrived at concert and could not find my tickets. I had emails confirming and receipts, the next day, they even emailed me asking how it was. I went to the box office for help they looked it up the order number, my email, my name - nothing, no worries, you can buy 2 more and get a refund tomorrow. I did buy 2 more. I was not missing the concert. I contacted StubHub next day via chat, spoke to 2 people, they could not find my tickets and informed me they would send up for investigation.

    I did not hear nothing back so I contacted them again today via chat and he immediately found them by the order number. He told me it's because I paid for them as a guest 1. No, I did not. (I'm always logged in. 2. He could not explain why no one before him could see that and or why no one looked. So I called - that person informed me that since I did not file the day of the concert they won't refund (remember this is the 5th person and 5 days after the concert and the 1st time I've heard this one). I spent the next 9 minutes demanding a supervisor, then sat on hold almost 40 minutes waiting (at this point I don't care about the money, I can't stand thieves and this sounds like a really cool scam, I mean, look they got me for 4 tickets).

    Supervisor comes on the phone and reiterates that I was a guest and it's too late- so how do I know I'm a guest, he tells me I should read my emails (ummm yeah you mean the 28 you have sent me since I purchased the tickets I did not get) no, he wants me to read "the 1st one, it tells me I'm a guest" so I read it to him and ask him where it says I'm a guest, he says right there the email says it ummm nope read it to him over and over - asking every time - so he says it tells me right under view order -It says "View your order Use your access code to view your order: QZTTT Keep your access code handy – you'll need it every time you view your order."

    I don't see guest there, so he says "No, you have to click on the button and that's where you will find it." So he had me looking for an invisible word and the idiot because I could not find it. It don't make sense to me that I was logged in when I bought them and was still logged in when I arrived at the concert but somehow logged out when I paid - so I personally think this is a scam - all 3 in today's conversation found them by the order number. When I called, I had to input the last 4 of the order number and as soon as I did, the automated system call me by name (but yeah, I'm a guest). I disputed the charge on my credit card and deactivated my account, BEWARE! That 100% pledge means nothing when they hide your tickets.

The seller missed getting me the tickets by the noon deadline on the day of the show. I reached out to Stubhub and asked for a refund because the show was starting at 3 p.m. and the doors were closing by 3. They said the seller requested an additional 1-2 hours to get me tickets, to which I said no, I wanted a refund.

    When I finally got the tickets right before the show, the email that delivered them had the correct seats I bought in the text, but the tickets that I downloaded were for worse seats in a different section with almost fully obstructed view. I can't believe that Stubhub does that to its customers. When I reached out to Stubhub to report the fraud all they offered was a 20% discount on a future purchase. They should be refunding me for half the price of the tickets since these tickets were worse/lower value tickets ($49 face value). A friend just told me that she was recently scammed by Stubhub for Hamilton tickets. They sold her tickets that were fake. The key learning is - do not purchase tickets from Stubhub. They don't take accountability, nor do they care about the purchaser and they allow unethical practices.

    We brought broadway tickets for my autistic daughter with my military husband before he deployed. I specifically bought front row of our section-because she needed to see (as did my short son). They changed our tickets without so much as a reach out. Our tickets even still read Row A, but when they scanned, they told us to sit elsewhere. Trying to navigate the change last minute, we were running back and forth between where our seats were supposed to be and where they were telling us our seats were… then the show started. An autistic child missing the first 5 minutes of the show was detrimental to our experience, but exacerbated by sitting behind seemingly the tallest man in the entire theatre when they finally did let us in.

    When I did reach out to Stubhub they said there was nothing they could do because we didn’t reach out before the show (which would have been impossible since they never told us anything changed) or DURING the show-which clearly, they have never been to a broadway show before-as you are ejected if you are using your phone for any reason. They offered a small voucher, but cared not about the terrible experience, the last one before my husband deploys, and why would I ever use their services again knowing exactly what could happen?!?!

    I ordered football tickets on August 17, 2025, for a game on September 6, 2025. Stubhub charged my credit card instantly. As of noon on game day, 20 days after purchase and full payment, I still did not receive tickets. I used the painful AI chat on Stubhub site as they do not give any phone number to call. The chat robot finally connected me to a chat agent and I was told Stubhub had until 1 pm Pacific time to release the tickets for a 7 pm EST game. At 4:30 pm, still no tickets.

    I once again went through their AI chat to finally get another chat with an agent and start the whole process over again. After countless messages back and forth and about 20 more minutes of wasted time, the agent writes, “Thank you for your time on this order, the seller was unable to fulfill your order.” Now, only 2 hours before game time, I am missing the tailgate party and trying to get tickets to a game I paid for 20 days prior. Stubhub then offered me to go through the ticket process again (why would I do that if they failed to deliver tickets after waiting 20 days).

Stubhub used to be a good site years ago to get tickets. They are now untrustworthy and completely unreliable. The site should be shut down as a fraud site.

    I bought a ticket several months before much-anticipated show, paid high dollar for good seat in mezzanine. But StubHub did a bait and switch: at the very last moment (less than hour before venue opened), my seat was “transferred” to the LAST row, the least expensive seat in huge auditorium; and StubHub is not compensating the significant price difference despite their “guarantee”.

    Details: the ticket change was sent less than hour before the show as a “transfer” to an unknown Ticket Master seat (no seating chart provided). I was given option to accept transfer or get refund - which would mean not going to a show I had been anticipating for 6 months… AND I got this news while I was in taxi heading to show! So this “Choice”was no choice, it was “take it or leave it.” (Upon being seated, I was shocked to learn I was in the very LAST row - in no way “comparable” to the ticket I paid for).

    StubHub offers a guarantee that if switch occurs, the switch will be to comparable seat. BUT the guarantee is null if you accept their “transfer”. In my case, the ticket was switched at last minute, with no way to verify if ticket was comparable. So: no ticket “transfer” details until last minute; no way to verify if new seat is “comparable”; no option other than take it or leave it. If the consumer accepts the mystery “transfer”, then StubHub seat protection guarantee is null & void.

    I question who keeps the price difference in these situations - StubHub? I am curious as to how frequently last minute bait & switch ticket transfers - transfers in which consumer does not truly have a “choice” - occur, and who profits? I don’t have the answer, but this business practice seems to merit consumer protection investigation.

    Unnecessarily hard to buy, scams you. You will not be able to lock in a price and pay. They say when you call, even with a email confirmation that the tickets “are waiting review by our dedicated team” so do you have the tickets even if confirmed. They can see if you are trying to buy and change the price every time and will kick you out if the “time is out”. The time was not out on my purchase, and credit card information was given, pay was hit and it kicked me out. I did not get my tickets and when trying to get others it would treat that process. They have told me I have paid for stuff I did not get. The tickets I actually wanted THEY CANCELED AFTER MY PAYMENT WENT THROUGH AND DID NOT RECTIFY IT. DID NOT GET ANY TICKETS. StubHub cancelled my tickets after payment was done and did not refund me. I had to cancel my credit card dispute having the funds.

    If I could've given them a zero I would've! I purchased tickets in July for a sporting event in mid September. The tickets I ordered were for row 2, but when they were delivered to me electronically they were for row 24. I called Stub Hub immediately to report the issue and literally NOTHING has happened since then. I've been told (now 4 times) by customer services reps, who I cannot understand, that they will offer me a refund or new ticket options ON THE DAY OF THE GAME...leaving me no chance to actually get a refund and purchase the seats I wanted. For a company that sells SPORTS tickets, they sure know nothing about how the experience or process goes. I will never purchase tickets from them again, and will be using Seat Geek or Vivid seats to purchase tickets from now on. TERRIBLE customer service and terrible experience.

    StubHub is the worst company to ever do business with. I have a gift card that I have not been able to use because the pin and code is not working and I’ve called seven different agents and none of them have been able to help me and they keep telling me the same line that they have to escalate it. I would recommend no one ever purchased anything from StubHub. This experience has been horrible. I have worked with many companies and purchased many gift cards, but this company is the worst. Do not ever purchase any gift cards from StubHub because if you have any issues, they will not be able to help you and they will keep giving you the runaround and you will have to call them at least 10 times.

    I bought two tickets to see Lady Gaga on September 3rd. The tickets were never delivered to me. Tickets said they would arrive the day of the concert at 5pm, at 5pm the time then got pushed to 8pm. 8pm comes around and still no tickets. I ended up buying two tickets from Ticketmaster because I was afraid I wasn’t going to see my favorite artist. Ticketmaster tickets came to me right away. Lady Gaga ended up rescheduling that day anyway, but I still never received my tickets from StubHub.

    I called them to get my money back and they claimed they had to wait for Lady Gaga to either cancel or reschedule. I told them repeatedly that I never even received tickets, even before Lady Gaga rescheduled. I called three separate times trying to get my money back. Finally, I talked to a supervisor who made me prove to him that the concert was in fact rescheduled via screenshots. Eventually, after countless times I’ve explained my situation to so many StubHub employees, I have started my refund process.

    Stubhub is the biggest scam company and no one knows how to run a business that works there. Everyone was set to say the same script to me and didn’t even genuinely help. When I asked if they could see I haven’t received my tickets yet, they all said, “Yes we can see you don’t have your tickets yet.” Their response was to email the seller and make sure the seller sends the tickets. I will protest this company and make sure everyone I know will never use StubHub again. The unprofessionalism that I experienced was unnecessary. There is no reason to spend hundreds of dollars for tickets that were never even sent out and StubHub makes it difficult to get your money back. If I could give less stars than 1, I would. The photo submitted below was the promise of them delivering by 5 pm which never happened.

    I would not recommend using these theirs. Go to Ticket master or somewhere else. I had paid $22 for parking for The CB concert. Well that parking was extremely far, so I paid for closer parking $55. I reached out to Stubhub and their representative Erick ** was extremely rude and did not care. For goodness sake, it was literally only $22. They didn't want to refund that, that's fine. But Erick's rudeness was horrible. He was so nonchalant and didn't care. He was just like "Oh well". PLEASE Spend your money elsewhere. At least the actual concert was AMAZING. Erick has ruined me to ever do business with Stubhub again.

    I recently used StubHub for the first time and had a very disappointing experience. While browsing tickets, I was shown a pop-up advertisement for “the lowest parking price in the area.” Trusting that claim, I purchased parking through StubHub — only to find out later that the actual event parking was less than half the price. StubHub charged me $50 before fees and taxes (over $65 after fees) for a parking pass that I could have bought at the venue for just $32 (total amount). When I contacted customer service, they insisted that I wasn’t “paying double” since the pre-fee price was $50. But this misses the point: StubHub misrepresented the parking as the lowest available price, when in reality I was overcharged significantly.

    This feels like a predatory and misleading practice. As a first-time user, I had expected StubHub to provide buyer protection and transparency, but instead I paid more than double what I should have. I will not be using StubHub again, and I strongly caution other buyers to research venue parking options before trusting StubHub’s “lowest price” claims.

    Complaint Regarding StubHub Ticket Purchase for Disney Descendants – Amerant Bank Arena – Sept 6. In July of this year, I purchased four tickets for the Disney Descendants performance at Amerant Bank Arena through StubHub, after being redirected there from Ticketmaster. I did some research before purchasing and found that StubHub claims to guarantee their tickets. Based on this assurance, I went ahead and bought the tickets.

    According to the email confirmation I received, the tickets were supposed to be transferred to me by the seller no later than the day of the event, September 6. We arrived at the arena at 6:00 PM, still having not received our tickets. I checked my email repeatedly and contacted StubHub customer service (1-866-788-2482). The representative told me that the seller never transferred the tickets and had not responded to their inquiries. I expressed that I did not want a refund — I wanted the tickets I had paid for, as promised. The rep then informed me that no tickets were available for the event anymore and said they could only issue a refund.

    What made this situation especially painful is that my daughters had been looking forward to this event for months. It was devastating to see them in tears, along with many other families in the same situation who had traveled from out of town. The StubHub representative sent a link that was supposed to offer alternative ticket options, but it only led to a refund request page. In the end, we were left without tickets, without the experience we paid for, and deeply disappointed. This experience leads me to believe that StubHub is not a trustworthy platform. It appears they operate as a resale marketplace, and when sellers choose not to deliver, StubHub simply offers a refund — which does nothing to fix the emotional loss or time wasted, especially for children.

    A warning to others: StubHub does not truly guarantee tickets if the seller fails to deliver. Ticketmaster redirecting users to StubHub can be misleading and risky. This is not just a financial issue — it's an emotional one when children are involved. I’m taking the time to share this because I want others to be cautious when purchasing tickets from StubHub or through platforms that redirect to it. What happened to us should not happen to any other family.

They said "You should have called before the event for a resolution". That's great but when I tried and your wait time is over an hour and my event is starting in 15 minutes, I'm not going to miss the event for stupid tickets.

    DO NOT USE STUBHUB | I purchased VIP (pricey $$$$) tickets to a show as a gift for my husband that was supposed to be in Nashville in August 2024. A few weeks before, per StubHub, was "going to be rescheduled" -- so we had to pay cancellation fees for our flight and cancel hotel. We waited and waited, and no reschedule. We finally verified with the venue that it was permanently cancelled and therefore we should have been reimbursed by StubHub 120% per their stated cancellation policy. Tens of calls and even more emails later, we still do not have resolution or our money back - and we're talking over $2000. Each time they say they are going to "escalate and resolve" and they're very sorry for the inconvenience but each time we hear nothing.

    I am at a loss of words about the scam that StubHub ran against my family this week. Months ago I bought 5 tickets to the Benson Boone concert in Philly this past Wednesday September 3, 2025 and never received them. I called customer service over 7 times during the two weeks leading up to the concert and even escalated multiple times. Then I was told not to worry I would either get the tickets or a refund. They were tickets for my daughter’s birthday. One and a half hours before the show and we still did not get them. They never arrived.

    StubHub kept sending me troubleshooting tickets asking me to accept and then when I got accepted it would go to the “my events” page and nothing was there. It was a disaster and ruined the fun for my daughter’s birthday. The most illegal and unbelievable part is that I paid $1700 for those tickets and NEVER even got a refund. I did not get tickets to the concert nor a refund. They stole our money and just said, "Sorry there isn’t anything we can do because our internal investigation team shows you accepted the tickets."

    Please don’t ever use this platform. I’m now in the midst of finding an attorney to file a legal complaint in hopes I can at least get my money back. My family never got the tickets, my daughter's bday celebration was ruined and they stole $1,700. A complete and fraudulent scam! Oh and the best part is I have screenshots and proof that the tickets never came into my account. I can’t believe something like this happened by what I thought was a reputable company. Beware. Do not buy tickets on this platform!!! Ps. The pics I have attached to this review are the messages you get when you accept the tickets. I got this same message for the two weeks leading up to the concert, the night of the concert and even the next day and I have screenshots for all those times.

    Do not use Stub Hub! I purchased tix for 9/6. Was sent tix for 9/7. She gave me the run around for over a week saying I was protected and that if the seller could not provide the correct tickets I would be sent a link with replacement tix of comparable or better value. No updates were given and I never received a link. I literally had to call them every day. Even on the day of the show I was told to just be patient! Three agents told me to head to the venue - I was protected - the link was coming. At 10 minutes before the show I still did not have the link. I finally got an agent to send the it and then she promptly disconnected the call. When I clicked the link and it said there were no replacement tix available!!! Even though I could see that Stub Hub still had plenty of seats! I had no choice but to go home with two very disappointed teens. Lesson learned.

    I purchased tickets through StubHub and was unable to attend the event. We sold the tickets a couple of weeks prior to the event and was charged a fee both for buying and selling. The fees were ridiculous. The sale appeared to be flawless, even though we took a big hit with the fees and less than desired price for each ticket. Then I woke up a day after the event to find that I was charged a $660.00 fee for "You have been charged for this sale because you provided fewer tickets than the buyer purchased." I do not recommend going through StubHub for event tickets.
