    Why send an email stating that you sent me additional tickets when you did not. And then I find out that it's a three for one deal but of course Ticketmaster won't honor that because I bought them through you. But yet I can't get a hold of anybody at StubHub cuz they keep blocking my email address. Seriously? This is my first purchase from StubHub. This will be my last purchase from StubHub.

    Ordered tickets to Luke Bryan in Atlanta 8/17, got email to download tickets via Ticketmaster, download would not work. Called, they worked over the phone with me, said I would get another email to download again. Waited 5 days, nothing received. Called again now tell me "oh no you will not get them until the day of the event on 8/17." I said ummm no. Not acceptable, said they are at Ticketmaster, still not sitting for me to accept. Proceeded to tell me that the concert date was a "moving target", um NO it's 8/17 that date isn't moving. Suspect since reading some of these other reviews that the target is moving to try to sell for a higher price. I have opened a fraud complaint with my charge card company. DO NOT BUY ANY TICKETS THROUGH STUB HUB!

    Agreed with most of the reviews on here! The StubHub site advertises that Welcome to Rockville “tickets” can be bought and sold through the site. From my experience in 2023, they are liars! I posted a four day access pass, general admission (GA). The guy who “purchased” lives one half mile from me! I took the pass to him and put it in his hand! I helped him activate the wrist band, verified he had the “Rockville” app on his phone, and could see all the bands on the schedule. He confirmed he had provided his credit card info to Stubhub. I wished him well and a good Rockville Festival Experience, and we parted ways.

    It’s now a YEAR later and I still haven’t been credited with the purchase price. I don’t know if the purchaser ever got his money credited back or what Stubhub did with the money, but my “sale” remains unresolved. Stubhub Help Desk/Customer Service (apparently named Chris) has not seen any “electronic ticket transfer “ because there is NONE. IT IS A PHYSICAL WRISTBAND WITH AN ELECTRONIC TAG THAT IS ACTIVATED THROUGH THE DWP Productions Rockville site WHICH STBHUB HAS NO TECHNOLOGY TO ACCEPT! Total SCAM ticket service!

After being online chat for 40 minutes, and then on the phone (obviously overseas) for the next 55 minutes, and still on hold, we're just trying to sell 2 of our tickets we bought. Aggravation to the max! They won't credit back your credit card if the tickets sell, only to your bank account!

    Beware! Scam! I feel like this ticket purchase middle man company is a scam. Purchased a 120-dollar ticket which they charged 220 dollars for apparently they charged me a processing fee of 100 dollars? Never once got my tickets sent to me. The day of the event I called them and they said it was cancelled and when I asked for refund, they denied giving me a refund and said it wasn’t their fault it was cancelled. So basically they are a scam!! Never purchase any ticket from them, please. You’ll save your money and the headache.

When we got to the gates at Churchill downs we were told that we only have regular “infield” tickets. These ticket were about three times the price of regular infield tickets.

    Do not ever use StubHub to sell tickets! It’s a scam! I listed my tickets to sell on their site. They say to upload the tickets for them to sell faster. I went into the app to lower the sale price. I typed “2” in the set price field then clicked the wrong button which redirected me to another page. I never hit “save” or confirmed the price that was set so I closed the app. When I reopened the app my tickets had been sold for $2 each. They were worth at least $500. This is a dirty way of doing business. Obviously a Bot or StubHub knows this is going to happen and instantly picks up the tickets. You should do better for your customers StubHub. You might have made $500 off me today but you will never ever get my business again.

    I ordered tickets from Stubhub for an April 2024 concert and 6 hours before the concert they sent me this email: "We are contacting you regarding your purchase of tickets for slowdive taking place on Friday, April 26, 2024 8:00 PM. We apologise, but unfortunately, your seller is not able to provide the tickets that you originally purchased. Don’t worry! You are covered by our guarantee, and we want to ensure that you receive tickets for this event."

    Although they appear to have refunded my money, the issue is that I received this 6 hours prior to the concert and had no ability to find suitable tickets in time before finishing work and driving 2 hours. Very disappointing and I bet the tickets I had "purchased" were sold to a higher bidder. I will never use StubHub again, they are an unreliable middleman and aren't worth the hassle.

    Completely robbed me! My explanation doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t be going to these length for the fun of it. StubHub literally robbed me. The definition of approximate view means “close to the actual” — I purchased row AA which is usually down on the floor, and the approximate view of the picture showed the right section down by the floor. When I got to the stadium my tickets were 2 rows from the ceiling. StubHub told me to fly a kite.

    DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM THIS COMPANY!!! This will be nothing much new from the other horrible reviews for this company. I tried to buy a last minute ticket to a Bruins playoff game. Once the transaction was completed, and I did not receive the ticket, I checked the order status and was informed the seller had up to an hour to deliver the ticket. Why in the world would anyone buy a ticket to a game right before the game if that information was clearly displayed on the site???? Also, the fee StubHub wanted to charge was obscene - and also not displayed on the site until time of purchase. This place is a total ripoff and buyers should beware.

    They don't give any hint of the crazy high fees they tack on to tickets then to top it off I found the same tickets elsewhere for about $20 cheaper. I don't buy tickets very often so I looked to see what Ticketmaster's price and fees were and it says they charge between 5-10%. StubHub charged $28 on top of the $68 ticket fee so roughly a 44% additional fee tacked on. Reading further here I've seen customers that were sold fake tickets. Last time I'll ever do business with these scam artists.

    I purchased tickets for a concert for the first time on StubHub and I will never do it again. The day of the concert, I could not access the tickets electronically and I called, but the technical support person could not figure out how to get me access to my tickets. She said the best she could do was send a link to see what tickets were still available. This email never came. I called an hour prior to the concert saying that there was no way I was going to be able to make it and I asked for a refund at this point. That person told me it was too soon to be able to provide a refund and I needed to wait and I would receive an email to initiate a refund. I waited another week and that email never came.

    I tried to dispute the charge through my bank, but my bank did not identify it as a scam, so they told me I had to deal with them directly. I called Stubhub back and requested a refund again. They told me they can't issue refunds when there is a active bank dispute involved. I told him that the bank dispute had been closed and he provided me a link to send over formal documentation from my bank stating so. He said he received it. He told me they would do an investigation that could take up to 72 hours before I heard back. I waited another week before I followed up with an email. Someone responded saying they were still doing an investigation. I waited another five days before sending a follow up email. (It has now been 45 days since the day of that concert.) I received an email stating it was still under investigation and it could take up to 90 days before I hear back.

    Purchased 4 tickets to Neil Young for a total of $1500.00. After receiving the original purchase email, I never received the tickets! I finally received an email two days before the event, but when I clicked on the link, the information said that the tickets did not exist! I entered the confirmation number, but again received a message that the order was not valid! Finally, I did find a way to access the tickets. It was so frustrating!

    Ultimately we decided not to go to the concert and listed the tickets for sale, and successfully, well sort of, sold two of the tickets. When it came time to transfer the tickets, once again I could not access them to transfer to the buyer... Then, as I could not transfer the tickets, we were charged $350 additional dollars to credit the purchase of the two sold tickets! Why wouldn’t, at the very worst, we be charged the credit card fee of 3%, but no StubHub charged us for tickets they could not help us deliver. Additionally, if you try to reach customer service, it is simply an online nightmare! I will never use Stub Hub again! Stay away. This was a nightmare! Horrible!

They dont care for customer service, I was promised a middle zone ticket by the vendor and after I purchased it, I was given the last row tickets for $330/each when the same tickets on Ticketmaster were sold at $200/each. I made a mistake by not checking ticketmaster first. When I called claiming I have received a wrong ticket, I was informed there was no promise, when I can clearly see the seats promised was in middle of the section.

    Do NOT deal with Stubhub! Buy or sell your tickets outright. I purchased 2 tickets from Stubhub for a MN game and when I received the total there were additional service fee charges that I was NEVER informed of at the time of purchase so I had to sell them! I put on Stubhub to resell for the price I paid for them and at least would only lose the fees which was bad enough. I received a notice that they were sold and that I would receive a confirmation that they were accepted. 5 days went by, nothing stating that they were accepted so I proceeded to call Stubhub and emailed them. I have all my emails saved. The day of the event, still no acceptance received so I insisted on speaking to a higher up/manager at Stubhub. Of course the customer service agents can only do so much and NONE in the US of course! The gentleman I spoke to said if I didn't receive an accept email that I should put on to sell and "no worries".

    The event was hours later, so I put them on again and they were purchased! I was thrilled that short of notice they'd be sold! I then received an "accepted" reply. A couple days later I received an email that I would be getting a refund for $37!! I paid $228 for the 2 tickets!?!?!!? I was furious so I called and did "chat" several times with my question. I was unable to get anywhere with the agents as they are scripted how to reply. I had to file a complaint with the BBB.

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

    I have sold tickets on Stubhub for 10 years. When selling it’s typical to list your tickets on a couple of sites to give a better opportunity to sell them to a buyer. For the first time ever tickets to an event sold at the same time (within 5 minutes) on both sites. Since my tickets were Ticketmaster tickets, they automatically get sent to the purchaser, thus making it the Stubhub sale unfulfillable.

    I called Stubhub immediately asking them to please cancel the sale so the buyer could have an opportunity to purchase new tickets. After being hung up on 4 times by them, and spending an hour just asking them to please do what’s best for the customer, they refused. I called back the next day, and they simply said that they will try and find replacement tickets and charge me whatever they feel like charging me. In my opinion, I should be responsible for the commission they lost ($40 / 10% of the sale) by me not fulfilling my order.

    The customer ended up canceling the order on their end as they wouldn’t accept the tickets I offered in exchanged. Stubhub charged me $360 because they cancelled the order, instead of the $40 commission they lost. Jose the manager and all ten people I spoke with could care less that they are doing this. It is not legal to charge someone for something no one received. Disappointed that they are not willing to be reasonable. They do not care about their customers (buyers or sellers). Hours of wasted time and stress. They lost a guy who sells and buys a lot from their site.

    I had purchased 2 tickets for the Arizona Diamondback home opener on March 27. It was a 7pm start time and I wanted to arrive early to make sure my daughter and I could witness all of the pregame activities including the celebration for winning the National League pennant the year prior. Stubhub does state they will usually not release the tickets to the customer until the day of the event. This should be a clear warning to anyone looking to purchase tickets for any event. Especially one that may very well be sold out.

    At 11am that morning I called customer service to inquire about when the tickets would be available on the app to enter the venue. My credit card had been charged at the time of the sale nearly 6 weeks prior and that was not in dispute. After going back and forth with the representative for about 15 minutes, he finally told me the tickets had already been delivered. When I asked if that meant delivered in the mail or delivered in email, he hung up the phone. At that point in time, I knew if I wanted to attend the event for sure I would need to purchase tickets from another vendor.

    I purchased 2 more tickets from Ticketmaster and had the tickets immediately downloaded to the app on my phone. I was fortunate that there were still tickets available. The following morning when I logged into my personal email account, I discovered the tickets had been released and delivered at 6:59 pm, 1 minute prior to gametime. I disputed the charge with Stubhub and my Capital One credit card but was told by both that since Stubhub had delivered the tickets "prior" to the event starting, they held up their end of the contract when the tickets were purchased.

    When the tickets were released at 6:59pm the email stated, "download your tickets prior to arriving at the venue". The reason being that some venues do not have good internet service to download them. Both Stubhub and Capital One thought it to be a reasonable expectation to arrive at the venue, find a parking spot, enter the stadium and get to your seat in less than 60 seconds. Since the timestamp on the email was 6:59pm, one could make the argument that there may have only been 1 second to do all of the above stated. Since I can never receive the funds back for this event, I can only hope that this review will save someone the hassle in the future.

I am a short person, I would NEVER have bought Row 14 on the floor! If I had known that was what I was buying, I wouldn't have bought them. They basically did a bait and switch on me. They apologized and offered to replace the ticket with another row 5, but then came back and said they could only give me 25% off next purchase. As if I would ever buy from them again! This is true theft; I was tricked into buying a certain ticket but given something else of far lessor value. See my StubHub receipt and the Ticketmaster transfer for proof.

    I wanted lawn tickets that cost $50 at this venue for others I know, but they were sold out so I decided to try Stubhub. I ended up paying $265 (the tickets incurred a total fee of $60), then my friend cancelled and I ended up not being able to find anyone to go with so I resold them using stubhub. I followed the instructions to sell them, and when creating the listing I left the browser in order to look for the order ID in my email, and when I returned the listing form was empty, so because of that I accidentally listed three tickets (one for $100 and two for $101 each). I made my price based on the website's recommendations and was aware that I would already be losing $75 if both my tickets sold for $101 each, as stubhub takes a tax off your sale, but I just wanted most of my money back ASAP.

    They apparently not reimburse until 5-8 business days after the event, which is my fault for having ignored, but then when I went to contact customer service about a notification that showed up saying that I may have duplicate listings, the CS worker said that I "mustn't worry" and that my "case would be moved to the top of the list". I faced extra confusion after this because I was trying to follow stubhub's guidelines for transferring my tickets, and I never got a clear indication from them, or the site where my tickets were purchased from, that my tickets had successfully been transferred.

    Then the next day I was notified that one of my tickets had sold, so I followed the instructions to cancel the transfer I had been prompted to make by stubhub, and re-transferred one ticket to the recipient. Then like 20 minutes later I got notified that two of my tickets had been sold, and I was confused because I only ever purchased two tickets for the show, via stubhub or otherwise. I called customer support again only to have the first agent put me on hold for a long time and then eventually transfer me to another CS agent who informed me that not only would I be charged for the additional ticket I never owned to begin with, but that the previous agent I had spoken to the night before did not actually take any action to resolve the duplicate issue.

    So now I am out $175 and some change on tickets that should have been $50 each. I am only 20 years old but I have never had such a negative customer service experience, and I feel like I have been scammed by this service. I will likely never use any third party ticket buying/selling services and I most definitely will not buy or sell with stubhub again. I'm in college so it will take a while to financially recover from this and the event isn't for a month, so I couldn't have had a worse experience or made a worse mistake by using stubhub.

    I was lied to SO many times by their customer service. I purchased aisle seats and given seats in the middle of a row. I called customer service to explain that I purchased aisle seats and could only go to the event if we are seated on an aisle because my son has a disability. They told me no refund would be given because they're in the correct row. INSANE. The only option I was given was to relist, but I wouldn't lose the fees. When I tried to relist, I lost over $100 on fees!! They DO NOT care, just want to make their money and run.

    Terrible experience. This company is a fraud. They have zero customer relations skill; every single person gives you a different answer and they are lies. They’re selling tickets weeks in advance that they do not have. But you'll only find that out hours before your show. They say they'll offer you comparable or better seats but they don't. They offer worse seats and won't even give you specifics on the seat. If the guarantee was real, they could have purchased comparable or better seats still on sale directly from the venue.

    It’s been one of the worst experiences I've ever had and totally ruined an entire evening with friends. Thank God we didn't travel or prepay for parking or anything. Asked for a supervisor 3x and never got one. Tried chat, social media, email and phone call (to a foreign call center). Each method was terrible. NEVER AGAIN.

I contacted customer service and they said that the seller missed the window to submit/send the tickets, a CSR even tried to call the seller and nothing.

    I’m not sure how StubHub handles this but Ticketmaster sellers submit the tickets and once confirmed they are gone and immediately sent to the purchaser.. We were already at the event. The only options that StubHub gave us was to get a full refund or select other seats. The other seat options due to it being last minute game time were at the tiptop of arena at the back and we purchased lower level with no additional money back.. Not comparable. So we did get a refund which is nice but what about travel funds and parking and additional cost to attend an event we paid for already and thought we were going to. This is unacceptable. When we buy tickets they (either StubHub or sellers) should be made to submit tickets immediately. Even if it’s in a portal where we can’t access them until the day of the event.

    Have used Stubhub for years and, in the past, the customer service was good. If the seller didn't come through, StubHub would find a replacement ticket and then charge the seller for any difference. Recently purchased tickets and then, a few weeks later, was told "the seller cannot fulfill the order." Spent lots of time on the phone with call centers in India or who knows where. Each person would say, "We'll send you a link to get replacement tickets." And then no link would come.

    I go on StubHub and see plenty of tickets for sale...at a much higher price than I paid. Most likely the seller decided he could get more by relisting the tickets. Or he never had them in the first place. Finally called back after two weeks of this and was flatly told, "You are not getting the tickets. You can only get a refund." Luckily this is a local show, but what if I had booked travel around this concert? Bottom line: do not trust Stubhub. Their guarantee is no longer true. Date of experience: 22 March 2024.

So they made me apply for a prepaid debit card they supposedly will send me. It's a scam I'll never see my money. Never ever again will I ever click on anything that says Stub Hub.

    Purchased 3 minor league baseball tickets. Stubhub takes you thru several screens before checkout (to confuse you?) and by the times you get to the final screen you are already locked into payment with a NO REFUND status. I have since learned that the general admission tickets that I purchased are $35. My final bill was: tickets 749.25, tax 34.35, and FEES 268.19 for 3 minor league baseball tickets! This company should have an algorithm for original ticket price versus fee requested to prevent SCALPING. If the above transaction was done on the street the perp would be arrested fined and jailed.

    So I order tickets to a baseball game from Stubhub. I receive multiple emails from StubHub saying my tickets have been sent and I need to click to receive them "from a third party" in email. I search all my email boxes including spam - nothing. I call StubHub and they tell me the third party is Ticketmaster, so go into my account there. I do. Nothing. Call Ticketmaster - they search by the event, and nothing. Call StubHub back and this time they have me create an account on the LSU ticket site using my same email and the tickets will be there. I do that. Nothing.

    I again say they were never sent to me. They argue "yes, we show that they were sent". I say "show me one shred of evidence they were sent. An email. Anything. You charged my card without actually sending me the product - which btw is illegal." I asked for a refund, they said. "No, that's only if the event is cancelled." I said, "I will just dispute the charge and this is the last time I ever do business with you."

    NEVER BOOK TICKETS FROM STUBHUB. We bought tickets in December for the men's PAC 12 basketball tournament. Stubhub messed up with the original tickets and promised to get us replacement tickets. They had 45 days until the tournament started. We called them 7 times with a total of 12 hours on the phone and they promised to get us replacement tickets. Today, while at the airport to fly across the country for the tournament, they told us they would NOT honor their promise. So we had to pay an extra $600 for tickets.

The purchase amount was 383.78 because they add some kind of fees to the actual price that you think that you are paying, usually 20-25 extra per ticket.

We all drove 2 hours to get there to celebrate my daughter’s birthday only to get to the gates and find out that they never sent the actual tickets.

    We purchased tickets in September to Stevie Nicks/Billy Joel in Dallas last night. The tickets cost $4000 and were in row 18, front of stage. Yesterday afternoon, 3 hours prior to the concert, they still had not been delivered to us. We spent 3 hours on the phone with StubHub reps, who promised us the “moon” and delivered nothing. They told us we would get comparable or better tickets and to go ahead and go to the venue, which was 2 hours away from our home.

    At 6:45, the reps gave up and told us that even though they “expedited” our order, they could not make contact with the individual who we bought the tickets from. They then sent us some “comparable” seats that were in completely different section, several rows behind our original seat. To be fair, they did promise to refund our money, but we wanted to go to the concert. StubHub, and its reps told us how “sorry” they were, and then shuffled us off to another phone rep. Avoid this service at all costs and use someone else if you want to go to the concert/ballgame/event you purchased the tickets for.

    StubHub has the worst user experience and interface of any selling platform I have dealt with - a sharp decline from when I used them 6-8 years ago and it was fine. As of 2024 I am swearing off of them forever. Not worth the hassle. I "sold" tickets and was told to log in for the shipping label but there was none. Over an hour later (mind you my profit on these 2 tickets was $14 total, $7 per ticket, wasn't trying to be greedy), I got an address but no shipping label and was basically told to FedEx the tickets (presumably for $20 or something). This is a joke of a website as of 2024, they clearly don't know what they are doing.

    Oh and the wait for speaking with someone is a half hour - and the web chat, same thing. And they clearly are not trained to handle normal human interactions. Never never never again. Mind you I sold 5-6 times with them in 2016-2018 and it was fine, they clearly have gone way downhill. Shame on me for not checking recent online reviews before listing with them.

In talking with Stubhub Customer Svc within 20 min of purchase and with a stated claim on their site to "go out of our way to find replacement tickets if there's an issue with your order." They failed to perform to this level even with near instantaneous notification of the issue and weeks in advance of the event to perform to the committed level. They also failed to follow up as promised within 48 hours.

    After calling back on the 5th day, their proposed solution fully places the resolution burden and the cost on me which I found weak and possibly discriminatory (assigned seat numbers are on the tickets) based on their stated service commitments on their website via FanProtect for a fan who is unable to stand for long durations.

It was my wife's birthday gift, so I naturally wanted comparable tickets. They tried finding tickets for us, but to no avail. I contacted customer service and shared my complaint with them, was placed on hold, and then was hung up on.

    I called a fifth time, asking for a supervisor or anyone who might be of higher level/position to assist, but was informed that the tickets weren't available and that I would be given a refund. I am happy I was given a full refund, and I did inform them of their cancellation policy of receiving 120% of the ticket value, and they provided me with a refund coupon. So from a customer service standpoint, StubHub tried. But what was irritating about the entire experience was that this experience was even a possibility.

    Why does Stubhub accept tickets from "sellers" who don't provide the actual ticket position in a venue? How do they allow a "seller" to list tickets to an event that they don't have?? And what do these people profit from this? I received a full refund and more, so that wasn't a problem and therefore they didn't receive any money. It was the fact that someone listed "phantom" tickets with the likely full realization that the people who purchased these tickets were going to be absolutely devastated when the tickets didn't arrive and they couldn't attend the event they were so excited about.

    This happened to be the Broadway traveling Aladdin show and my 5-year-old princess-obsessed daughter was dressed up as Jasmine, so excited to see her on stage. We informed her that Jasmine wasn't feeling well and the show was cancelled. Overall, Stubhub failed because they allowed this kind of behavior to occur. If a seller cannot provide the ACTUAL ticket section, row, and number, they shouldn't be allowed to list it. End of story. Let this be a lesson to anyone else looking to Stubhub for tickets. Don't purchase them if there isn't an actual ticket number.

StubHub REFUSED to refund and on top of all of that time and frustration, they ACCUSED me of using the ticket anyway. Um, it was NEVER SCANNED!!! You can tell if a ticket has been used already!!!

    Put tickets up for sale. They were purchased and then cancelled 30 minutes later. Called to find out why.

    - First excuse was that "I" sent them two minutes after the sale and that was too long and caused the cancellation.
    - Second excuse was that I didn't upload the tickets until two hours after the sale, so they couldn't be delivered on time. I had uploaded them 10 days previous when I put them up on StubHub. Additionally, I have e-mails showing that the sale and delivery were within the same minute.

    - Third excuse was that I had the wrong date. The listing was removed when cancelled and they couldn't provide me with a copy of the listing so I could verify.

    End result is that the buyer was able to download my PDF QR codes and then cancel. And THEN Stubhub charged me the full cost of the ticket sale. I used to use them pre-COVID and they were great. I can't believe what they've turned into. Just a quick search online shows that my experience isn't unique.

Stubhub said we would get the parking pass separately from a thrid party. It never showed. Morning of event. I went into stub hub system and was told to reorder parking pass. It never came. We drove downtown (In Atlanta) hoping our pass would show up. Nope. We found the lot (on a 2 block alley in not a very nice area). We kept driving towards the arena. We parked 2 blocks from Arena in a manned lit parking lot for $25.. I started request for a refund of parking pass immediately after the game.

    Absolutely disappointed with StubHub! I purchased tickets for Chris Botti's concert on December 2, 2023, scheduled for January 2, 2024, as a birthday gift for my fiancée who adores this Jazz artist. As the event approached, I grew concerned when I hadn't received the tickets. My attempts to contact StubHub revealed a shocking truth - they don't actually possess the tickets; instead, they allow sellers to list tickets under the StubHub name, leaving buyers vulnerable to scams.

    On the day before the show, I called StubHub only to be informed that the seller had until the day of the event to provide the tickets. Unbelievable! Despite reaching out on the day of the concert, I was continuously told to wait as the seller 'still had time.' This was not just a waste of my time but a significant disappointment for my fiancée on her birthday.

    After numerous calls, the seller failed to produce the tickets, offering a meager refund of $120, which I refused to accept as it felt like I was being robbed. StubHub's representative advised against involving my credit card company, claiming it would delay the process. I chose to contact Visa anyway, and they promptly credited my account while launching a dispute against StubHub.

    StubHub's misleading practices, lack of accountability, and failure to ensure ticket availability make it a sham of a company. I strongly caution others against falling victim to their scams and recommend seeking alternative, more reliable ticketing platforms. My fiancée's special day was marred by StubHub's deceit, leaving us utterly disappointed and disgruntled. Didn't want to put a ☆ rate at all, but I had to in order to proceed with complaint.

When I checked online earlier that week I saw similar seats to the ones I bought in July were selling for 3x what I paid.

    I'm convinced they resold my tickets for a higher price or they let the seller resell them for a higher price so they could get a higher commission. And when I complained all they did is point to their User Agreement that basically says they can do whatever they want and owe you nothing but what you originally paid.

    I am a three time customer, so I write this review not based on one experience. The first two times I used Stub Hub I ran into ticket issues that were resolved so late that I thought I was having a heart attack near the time leading up the concert. One of those two times it was only resolved a few hours before an out of town concert!

    Those two times it was the ticket seller and me just trying to get the tickets I paid for. The app is not user friendly when buying resale tickets because there is no system in place to hold people accountable for sending the tickets to you. It is based solely on whether or not they choose to honor the sale - like if they get a better offer, the ticket seller can choose not to send the tickets. When that happens, you have to wait hours for customer service to find your “comparable” tickets - this IN NO WAY comes close to the “deal” you originally were offered.

    My final experience and the true reason I WILL NEVER USE STUB HUB EVER AGAIN was when I bought tickets (which magically I did receive) and the main act cancelled an hour before the show was to start BUT because the lesser artist who opened for the artist played their part, I was not allowed a refund. This was something offered to all Ticketmaster customers, but because I bought mine through Stub Hub, I was not even given the chance. Keep in mind, the original ticket seller would have received their refund and would not have lost any money either. This is a company that is totally greedy and not willing at all to honor what they advertise. I wish you well if you choose to waste your time. My recommendation- some of my best deals I have come across are when Ticketmaster customers who can’t attend sell their tickets on the Ticketmaster website directly at a lower cost.

By the time a representative responded I purchased another parking pass, and was in the venue which did not allow us to use our phones. I submitted a request for a refund for the original pass and Stubhub told me since the event passed I would not be able to get a refund. WTH! This is a full-on, 100% scam.

    Site attracts with "lower prices". Then adds a $19.00 fee for every ticket bought, which just puts it up to the price you'd pay at Ticketmaster. Tickets actually come through Ticketmaster anyway (depending on whether a re-sell ticket or not). Have a convenient "pay for parking" in advance - but then adds a hefty fee onto THAT as well, except you don't know about that fee until after all your information is entered. Just buy from the venue or Ticketmaster directly. That's more honest. If StubHub would put their fees upfront and made it clear what it is actually going to cost before you spend time looking for a ticket, that would be more honest.

With less than two hours before the event, I was told original tickets weren't available and was offered alternative tickets. I accepted but those were also never sent. When I was already at the event venue, my request to speak to the manager was denied and I was forced to take a refund. Unacceptable service, lost my business.

    I was attending a music festival this month in Huntington Beach. I decided I wanted to get vip tickets instead of the GA tickets I had purchased if I could sell my tickets at a reasonable price. (This trip was already a big splurge for me to do right before the holidays) I went with Stub Hub as I thought they were one of the most reputable and safe place to do so.

    Tickets sold fairly fast and I was able to purchase VIP tickets for a reasonable price (also on stubhub). The company I purchased the tickets from initially doesn’t do name transfers so I wasn’t sure what to do, so I contacted stubhub to assist me in doing this. They advised me to forward the bar code to the person I sold them to, and save a proof of the email.I did this and thought everything was fine. 1 day before the event while I’m at the airport excited for my trip enjoying my bar cocktail I receive an email stating I never transferred tickets and if I didn’t do so I would be liable for charges. I immediately called waited almost an hour and was advised to try transferring through Apple wallet. I did this multiple times and asked the buyer to please confirm he got it. I thought since I had done through customer service and was assured this should work I was ok and tried to put it past me and enjoy my trip.

    The morning of the festival I received another warning email that I needed to transfer immediately! I called waited 45 minutes and was told it would be escalated and to not worry they would help me. Later I receive a call from an angry rep telling me to cancel my tickets so he could repurchase the tickets I never sent! I said I have the tickets I’ve sent them multiple times instead of canceling and rebuying why couldn’t he just help me get them to the buyer. I also explained I needed this sale to cover the cost of my vip ticket I purchased through them. He got mad and hung up on me and I was told my sale was canceled. The next morning I was charged the cost ($243) of my ticket sale. Do not only did I not get paid I was charged for it! Never ever trust this company!!!

    Bought 4 tickets to see Hozier in Santa Barbara last July. Contacted StubHub several weeks before the concert to see if I could sell back.

A few days before the concert I got an email saying I didn’t do it right. This was on a Thursday late at night while I was on the road. The concert was going to be Sat.

    I tried calling Stubhub and writing messages with no response (other than from someone on a message bot who made a joke out of my frustrations when I told him I was 65 and have not done this before). I was afraid to try to sell them again in case I did it wrong again and would be charged another $500!!! So I had my daughter give them to a family for free a few hours before the concert. So down around $1500 now for a concert I couldn’t go to. I will never use StubHub again. I am very disappointed in how difficult it is to buy tickets to concerts. I am done!

    I order on Stubhub for years, never an issue but you always worry when will it be the first time. First time yesterday. First off to call to speak to someone or chat with someone, prepare to have nothing to do for about 2 hours. That is how long it took to get this issue resolved. Order tickets for concert, it was odd that I could not pick the seats but could only pick the row. First row we picked and paid for. Tickets came yesterday for concert tomorrow, 3 row seats not 1st row as we paid for. Finally got to customer service rep to be give the option to accept the tickets and get a voucher for 25% off next time. Or escalate to get better seats, with no promise we would get better. This process would be them sending me options to pick, and if I did not like any, oh call back...2 hours! No way.

    I opted for a refund. He left the phone to come back that he could call the seller. Why would I trust the seller after you pulled a fast one and sold me front row and gave me 3rd row. I stood firm we wanted our money back. I have to say, I am very disappointed and we will most likely not use Stubhub again. You are taking too big of a chance.

    The 1.2 rating out of 5 that they have is generous. I had posted a parking pass for sale. Nearly a full week before the event, StubHub deactivated it. (Of course, I did not know that until I happened to looked myself.) When I called, I had to send the pass to prove I had it, even though I have sold on the site before and they don't pay anyway until the person has the pass. I was told my issue would be "escalated." While they escalate, the time passes for me to sell my pass since the event is approaching. Yet, I just saw a parking pass sell 7 minutes ago.

    I called again, and the explanation I got is that that is someone who sells more than $50,000/year with Stub Hub and they get to post longer. In other words, there are special rules for ticket brokers who rip people off, not someone who just wants to sell a ticket. They provide two-day mailing labels and I am still four days outside the event, but I am not allowed to post. Their processes are terrible, as their 1.2 rating indicates.

We called them right away and they promised to get us the tickets we purchased or better, per the "Stub Hub guarantee." They did not. So we called again and got the same promise. Still no tickets. The night before the concert, we called a third time and were told that our seated tickets had been sold to someone else. We could either accept standing room or get a refund.

    We brought up the Stub Hub guarantee and were told that the tickets we bought simply weren't available and there was nothing they could do. We purchased specific tickets, well in advance. The night before the concert, we found out that what we'd bought didn't exist. The "guarantee" we'd bought them under was meaningless.

The rep stated that it was their policy, as stated on their website, to guarantee replacement tickets of equal or greater value or a full refund. I stated that I wanted tickets because they were a birthday gift for my daughter. He said he would have the email expedited and I should receive it in 30 mins.

This was now 11:50am (after multiple holds). She said, "I see the link is being sent now with replacement tickets." Wow I thought, this will finally be resolved... Well, I did not mention earlier that I paid high dollar for floor tickets. The replacement tickets they sent were balcony tickets at the way back of the auditorium. These were definitely not equivalent to the original tickets I had purchased. I told her that the replacement tickets were unacceptable.

    There are many examples in the ratings so I’ll be brief. Stubhub sends your tickets via Ticketmaster - they say they are 2 separate companies. When you buy tickets from StubHub and you need to sell them for any reason you hit "Sell my tickets" and the tickets are listed - silence for a few weeks. Then you get an email from Ticketmaster - "Here are your tickets" - again "Need to sell? Click here" - Ticketmaster works, they keep you updated, tickets sell, you verify your bank info and you get paid - meanwhile however, the “tickets” are still for sale thru StubHub. A few weeks later there is a charge to your debit card and an email from StubHub that you didn’t fulfill the sale and were charged the cost of the tickets. Later that day an email from StubHub - "You sold your tickets!"

    So now StubHub sold imaginary tickets to a seller who paid for them, refunded them with my latest debit charge and kept what the seller paid as a penalty for me not transferring the tickets. I’m out double the cost of the tickets and StubHub is sitting pretty with twice the amount—this is not right - please be careful and wait till you have the tickets to try to sell them and use Ticketmaster. Otherwise it’s going to be a bad experience!

    Bought tickets to Giants game on Wednesday. Mobile ticket suppose to be delivered on Friday. Called Sunday at 800 am and was told ticket would be delivered by 1000 am. Called at 1015 am to cancel and was told it could not be cancelled until 1130 am. Clearly, the “seller” was buying the ticket from ticketmaster and waiting to see if his or her purchase price dropped to a price lower than my buy price. This all caused problems as I had to buy a ticket from ticketmaster while in Met Life’s parking lot with no wifi. Avoiding this situation was the exact reason I used StubHub. I will never use it again as there is no point since their sellers do not own the tickets they are selling.

    I bought football tickets on StubHub the Wednesday before the 11:00 am Saturday game. Even got an email receipt that said the sale was confirmed. On Friday evening I received an email from StubHub that said: "We apologise, but unfortunately, your seller is not able to provide the tickets that you originally purchased." The email indicated I could select new tickets due to StubHub's event guarantee and I did.

    I immediately received another email that said the sale was confirmed but I would not get my tickets until the next day, which was game day (11:00 am kickoff). Guess what? I never got the second set of tickets either. Luckily, while tailgating before the game and anxiously waiting for the magic StubHub email with the tickets, I decided to quit waiting on StubHub and used SeatGeek to get new tickets. The SeatGeek tickets were delivered immediately to my email. I had to contact StubHub after the game ended to initiate a refund, and I received a full refund. My problem with StubHub is that it is selling tickets it does not posses (twice to the same game), and I cannot help but wonder why it cannot immediately send your tickets electronically like SeatGeek did.

    They do not tell you this, but ALL AMOUNTS are in US Dollars, even though the event is in Canada, and the website is .ca. We thought we were paying $700 CANADIAN DOLLARS for 2 seats They charged a $950.35 which turned out to be American and the total was $1300 Canadian. We are very nervous after reading these reviews that we may never get our tickets in time, and if we do, there is no guarantee that we will get the seats we paid for.

    Purchased a parking pass and was sent the incorrect pass. Contacted StubHub to rectify and they will not help, will only give 25% voucher credit which will not be used since I will not purchase from Stub Hub again. 2 purchases from StubHub and both were awful. Will not order from them ever again.

    I listed four tickets for a recent baseball game. The tickets were barcode tickets, and totally electronic for which StubHub takes responsibility for delivering. It’s in their policy. After listing the tickets, I went to the StubHub site to see if the tickets were indeed up on their site for sale. Two of the tickets were showing as for sale. Two of the tickets were not. I waited to see if the system would update and list the second tickets. I checked again and they were not listed. I went back on the site and listed the second set of tickets that were not showing on their site for sale. When I listed them I did not receive an error message that I was listing Tickets twice.

    In the past I had received an error message that my tickets were already listed and could not be listed again. I actually have a screenshot of that message. It was also for a baseball game at the same venue. Stubhub sent me an email stating that my tickets had sold and then another email that the tickets had been delivered. This was all approximately at 10 o’clock in the morning. In the afternoon, I received another email stating that there was a delay in processing the barcode for the tickets that had sold, but “not to worry” if they needed more information they would notify me.

    About an hour later, I received an email that my transaction had been canceled. I called StubHub and the representative told me that I had put in the wrong barcode number. If you’ve ever listed a baseball ticket from Ballpark, you know that if the barcode number is wrong, StubHub immediately says this barcode number is invalid. I explained that to the representative only to be told that the tickets were listed twice and that I would be penalized.

    The next day I received an email that my account would be charged $585 for not delivering the tickets. I called and argued again that this was not fair, and I sent them screenshots shots from their showing that Tickets could not be listed twice. They reviewed my case, ignored the screenshot that I sent them and said that I would be charged regardless.

    First, I do not understand how a system could allow you to list Tickets twice when it is all being done electronically and via barcode. In fact, the screenshot I have seems to show that StubHub does not allow that. I called customer service again and asked the simple question. Is it possible to list an electronic ticket with barcode twice? The agent said they needed to check with “the team” and I waited for several minutes only to be disconnected. The agent had my telephone number and could’ve called me back, but it is an hour later, and I have still not received a call. I believe StubHub allows this policy to let sellers accidentally list barcodes twice so that they can come back and say you made a mistake you owe us money and then take money from us as sellers. I have seen numerous reviews where people accidentally listed Tickets twice only to be charged and not paid for tickets Stubhub sold.

    With regards to the tickets that I listed twice or better that the system allowed me to list twice, they were indeed sold and delivered and StubHub was paid. I know this because I sat next to the people that bought the tickets and they showed me their StubHub receipt proving Stubhub received their money. I also reviewed this same information with the StubHub representative, who said that they would need proof that I actually saw these people. I can’t believe that this is legal. I can almost understand, listing Tickets twice where the seller is responsible for, delivering paper or e tickets only to end up in the position of being able to deliver one set and not the duplicate listing. However, StubHub takes responsibility for delivering the tickets in this case. I hope my review pushes potential customers of resale companies away from StubHub.

    We bought Bonnie Raitt tickets for Austin 5 months ahead of the concert. Paid more than $300/ticket. On the day of the concert, we still had not received our tickets. They were supposed to be transferred to AXS. Then I got an email the morning of the show stating my tickets were no longer available but I could accept cheap seats in place of my great seats or get a refund. I took the refund. Then I found the original quality seats online and purchased them.

    I purchased 4 tickets for a concert at Madison Square Garden to accommodate some visiting guests who wanted to see a particular artists. We had to purchase from StubHub as the concert was sold out on Ticketmaster. I paid too high a price for the seats we got (that was my choice) but at least we could go. The night of the concert, while we sat at the venue, the concert was cancelled. We had already paid to get to the city, paid for parking and paid for dinner. The concert was postponed until two nights later. Three of the four guest were no longer going to be in the state on that day.

    StubHub told us to "resell" the tickets. It wasn't likely we could do that in two days for a Monday night. Also, with all the refunds given by Ticketmaster, there were plenty of seats available for face value. There was no way we would have been able to sell our tickets. StubHub did not care and just repeated their "no refund" policy. They obviously only care about the bottom line and not customer satisfaction. It was not our choice to cancel at the last minute. They could have worked out something to help us out but just kept quoting policy.

    Purchased tickets from StubHub for a concert only to realize they were 6 times pricier than the same ones on TicketMaster. Also as I was purchasing 3, the individual price ended up being a lot more than purchasing 3 tickets individually. Trying to sell them but likely stuck with these very overpriced tickets.

    I recently had a frustrating experience with the StubHub app that I'd like to share. I listed two tickets for sale on the platform, and what followed was a chain of events that left me quite displeased. First, I never received any notification that my tickets had been sold on the app. Instead, my listing was abruptly labeled as "cancelled" or "expired." This led me to believe that my tickets were still available for sale, so I relisted them. To my surprise, I later received an email notifying me that the tickets had indeed sold, and I promptly sent them to the buyer. However, the lack of communication from StubHub left me in the dark about the status of my initial listing.

    The real issue arose when StubHub placed 100% responsibility on me for the ticket sale on both listings. It's essential to note that I couldn't have fulfilled the second listing since I had only one pair of tickets available. StubHub's explanation for this situation was a glaring loophole in their system: they claimed they have no mechanisms in place to prevent duplicate ticket listings, citing the optional seat assignment as a primary reason. The glaring question that arises from this is: why would anyone purchase tickets without knowing the seat numbers? It's indeed perplexing that a ticket agency/exchange of StubHub's stature would allow such a situation to occur, where duplicate and fraudulent ticket sales become possible.

    My main grievance is that StubHub and their app lack the necessary safeguards to prevent this kind of activity or duplicate sales, ultimately holding sellers accountable for issues that are beyond their control. To make matters worse, they impose a 100% penalty on the full ticket listing price, which is both frustrating and unfair.

    In conclusion, my experience with the StubHub app highlighted serious deficiencies in their system and customer support, leading to a stressful and financially burdensome situation for sellers. It's high time for StubHub to address these issues and put measures in place to protect both buyers and sellers from such mishaps in the future.

Advised will get seller to resend tickets, check by 6 am Pacific time, I am Eastern time and need to leave for the game 9 am!! Ask if open Sunday morning, told open 24/7, call 6 am eastern time Sunday morning, LINE IS CLOSED TIL 8 AM pacific time. Called 8 AM eastern time, I do feel bad for the employee that answered the phone as I know explained, I don't have tickets. Wasted 3 days trying to get tickets and I'm not dressed or ready to go now. It's too late to get going and enjoy a day at the game. GIVE ME REFUND!!! HORRIBLE, no reason for this foolishness. DO NOT BUY STUBHUB!!!

    I had tickets to an event that I wasn’t going to be able to go to. I came to StubHub to try to sell my tickets a month before the event. The week of the event came and I had not received any word or payment for my tickets and my schedule had changed so I decided to attend it. Last minute I got a notification from them that my tickets had indeed sold weeks prior, but they had not notified me or paid me for them. I tried to contact the buyer without success. They charged me the cost of the the refund they had to pay the buyer and pocketed the cash the buyer had given them. I will not ever be using this company again.

    I decided to sell event tickets on their platform for the first time after my wife and I were unable to attend an upcoming event. I was selling 2 tickets. An issue occurred in their system where Ticket #1 was delivered to 2 separate buyers. The 2nd order was cancelled, but they were able to see that buyer #2 had opened and downloaded the tickets. To ensure that buyer #1 was able to attend the event, they decided to swap the tickets out with the 2nd set of tickets and cancel the 2nd tickets altogether.

    Upon doing that, they promised that because of the error in their delivery, StubHub would pay me for the 2nd set of tickets and I should see the payment for both tickets in my account after the event. I've received payment for the 1st set of tickets, but not the 2nd set that they promised to cover. I called in to their support and they are now telling me that they don't issue payment for cancelled tickets, the only "promise" they made was to reverse the penalty fee that I was charged for cancelled tickets.

    They indicate that "the team" that can make those decisions did not promise payment and that only "that team" can make those types of calls, that a support rep or a team lead cannot. "That team" is an "email only" team that has no contact information and can only be contacted internally by their support reps. I told the rep that clearly the notes on the orders are inadequate because it took her a while to understand the circumstances and I prefer that they pull the call that I had with them because I'm not allowed to speak to them to explain it. They said all they can do is "escalate" it to "that team" and I will hear back via email with no expected timeframe. Stubhub is committing Fraud by Inducement --- they misinformed or lied to me about covering the payment and are now making it unnecessarily difficult to speak to someone about it.

    These people sell you the tickets... Then the seller won't fulfill the tickets...So at the day of the event they will provide you a replacement tickets with the worst sits.. Not giving you a refund for the difference... The only way is a full refund however you have no event.

    StubHub charged my credit card over $300 without my permission! As soon as I saw that there was a request to buy concert tickets that I had listed, I immediately notified them that the tickets got sold via Ticketmaster and I no longer had them. A few hours later, I got an email from StubHub about the charge. This charge was even more than what I paid for them!!! I have sent their customer service an email (which is hard to find on their website) but no response or credit yet.

    I listed tickets with StubHub and they sold the together and separately. They are trying to charge me fees for selling the the tickets twice. I transferred the tickets to the original seller and then was given different seller information. I canceled the transfer and transferred the tickets to new buyer provided by StubHub. StubHub said I was being charged for canceling the transfer and not fulfilling the ticket order when I changed the transfer. Sounds like a scam to make $ in fees??

    I sold tickets through StubHub. The buyer emailed StubHub saying they didn't receive them after the show occurred. I signed acceptance from FedEx from the buyer. Stubhub charged me selling the price. I called Stubhub customer service and they informed me of what took place. I asked what proof they required from the buyer and I was told an email was what they received. The customer service person could not tell me anything except how sorry he was and read from a script. StubHub charged me the selling price of the ticket. There is zero seller protection on StubHub. StubHub has stolen from me even though I had the receipt from FedEx and a picture of the tickets going in the FedEx envelope. This a unacceptable from StubHub.

    I sold football tickets on this site. Even though when you purchase tickets to an event they charge your credit card immediately, when you sell, they don't pay you until 10 days after the event. Apparently my tickets for this game sold, but Stubhub didn't fulfill the sale because they didn't use the information I had already provided them (ticket barcodes) and the buyer purchased tickets elsewhere. Stubhub charged me $450 for their error! THey don't have to do any work to fulfill a sale, the seller does and they charge us a fee? Do not use this site, you will get ripped off and tell everyone you know the same thing.

    I bought 2 tickets to Morgan Wallen and the show was rescheduled during a time I couldn’t go! I couldn’t get a refund. The only way to get my money back was to sell my tickets! So I enlisted them and sold them! Not only does StubHub take some of the money that you make selling the tickets, they don’t give you your money back (that you make from selling YOUR tickets) until 5-8 days after the event date! In my case this is about 9 months away. Their reasoning was “making sure the tickets aren’t fraud” but I bought the tickets from StubHub so how could they be fraud? Customer service didn’t help or seem to care at all.
