Proceed with Caution: A Personal Warning About StubHub
As someone who loves attending live events, I wanted to share my recent experience with StubHub. I purchased tickets for a highly anticipated concert, only to find out last minute that the tickets were invalid. This led to a disappointing and costly situation, as my friends and I were turned away at the gate. The customer service was unhelpful and the whole ordeal left a bitter taste in my mouth. It's heartbreaking to see hard-earned money go to waste due to such negligence. I urge you to proceed with caution when using StubHub, as my experience was far from satisfactory.
Terrible Service and Unresolved PRoblems Costing Hours and Hundreds
Bought Several Cubs and White Sox tickest for the opening week of the season and needed to resell some. I used to do this all the time years ago very easily. This time my "relisted tickets" were not viewable and I spent hours on the phone trying to get this resolved with several cusomer service agents. Generally, the agents were understanding and tried to help but after speaking to more than ten agents(really!) the matter still hasn't been fully resolved. I will NEVER use them again!
Recommendation: Check Vivid Seats. I never had a problem with them!

StubHub Complaints 354
Stubhub isn't even a valid provider of this event and over charged for this event
I found a concert we wanted to artend and stub hub came up as the place to buy tickets. Purchased tickets and then noticed huge fees were tacked on! Then also come to find out they're not even actual sellers of these tickets and not only extremely over charged but also charged an extravagant fee. I bought a total of 6 tickets for almost $1500. I am requesting a full refund.
Claimed loss: $1573.86 refund request
Desired outcome: Refund of tickets and canceled $1573.86

Ticket sales
I am filing a complaint against StubHub regarding transaction #[protected]. I sold tickets via StubHub for around $538. The buyer alleged they could not use the tickets because they were already scanned. StubHub indicated they would charge me $3500 because the buyer alleged they could not use the tickets. StubHub does not require any proof from the buyer...

On Feb.3 I bought 2 tickets which were listed for $500 each for Dead and Company at the Sphere. I clicked on pay with Paypal and immediately I was charged $1454! I would not have bought them at that price. I tried to get a refund from Stubhub, paypal and my credit card company to no avail. so I relisted them for sale for exactly what I paid for them. So after 3 weeks I went to look at the listing on stubhub and compare it to others. My listing wasn't there! I called customer service and they offered me no help.They suggested lowering the price.What a nightmare. Apparently my tickets are not reccommended by them so not being shown. There are many cpmparable tix for 3 times my price. I am so upset.
Claimed loss: $1454.00
Desired outcome: refund or sell my tix..at least show the listing.

Is StubHub Legit?
StubHub earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%
Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.
We found clear and detailed contact information for StubHub. The company provides a physical address, 7 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 5 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.
Stubhub.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.
We looked up StubHub and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information
However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:
- While StubHub has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 18% of 354 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
- StubHub protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
- We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to StubHub. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.
Penalty charges for failing to delivered not-yet-received mobile tickets to buyer
I ordered three Lion King tickets on January 24, 2024 for the Feb. 20, 2024 show at Segestrom Center in Costa Mesa, California. StubHub charge $22 fee for each ticket. I tried to sell the tickets on their website but had to cancel the sale because I have not yet received my ticket and could not deliver them to the buyer. On February 17, 2024, StubHub notified me that they charged me $240 as penalty for the cancelled ticket sale.
Now I have been charged $480 for three tickets I have not yet received!
Claimed loss: $240
Desired outcome: Refund

Suspected fraud
I listed 6 tickets on Stub Hub at 8:02pm 1/7/2024. At 8:12pm on 1/7/2024 I pulled my tickets off/cancelled my listing. At 8:18pm 1/7/2024 I received an email 3 of my tickets had been sold. Not only do I find it ironic that my tickets some how magically sold within 8 minutes when I had them listed elsewhere the full week prior for same price and 0/6 sold...

We bought 6 seats for the Dallas Cowboys I. November. The notice said our tickets were confirmed [protected] $3,375.60
On game day we found out that our transaction was declined and we had to be paid double to get seats. Confirmation [protected] $6,850.50
We called our credit card twice, and the rejection was from stub hub.
We we so stressed that we would even be able to get our family to the game. We came from out of town and had no notice that we had no seats. I will never use stub hub again. A +$3k mistake that was a horrible stressor for using Stub Hub.
Claimed loss: $3,300
Desired outcome: Refund for difference

Bait and switch for premium aisle seats
I bought 5 tickets through StubHub and once I paid they were sent via Ticketmaster. I made the decision on these seats and paid a premium because it said "Aisle Seat and seats 1-5" but once I got the tickets immediately after the sale it was seats 3-7. (Not aisle, the seller held 1-2 to sell to someone else at thw "aisle seat" premium. We are talking $30 per seat more for an aisle seat. I have screenshots to prove what I was shown every step of the way. Very misleading. I paid more for these seats because of that feature so this feels like a bait and switch. StubHub offers a sort by aisle, and even when it says that all over the reservation process, that is a lie. Bait and switch, super deceitful. Do not trust what you are seeing on their site is what you get. I can prove it is not.
Desired outcome: The seats I was sold - 1-5 not 3-7
Miami dolphins tickets
On 8/30/23 I bought on Stubhub tickets to the Dolphins/Raiders game on 11/19/23 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Florida. The tickets weren't automatically delivered to me on the day of the game.

I bought tickets to Bruce Springsteen in Phili on 8/21/24 (850.00)on StubHub 9/4/23. On 9/8/23 I rec an email from the seller of the tickets saying he did not want to sell his tickets. I called StubHub and they guaranteed me in writing that they would honor the purchase with those tickets or tickets of equal value. On 10/21/23 I received an email from StubHub saying they canceled my transaction and gave me a refund. I don't want a refund...I want my tickets! If they had at least told me on 9/4/23 I would have had an opportunity to buy tickets elsewhere. The tickets have now gone up significantly in price. No one at StubHub will help me...I have even tried emailing the CEO of the company...nothing.
Claimed loss: Tickets now worth over $1000.00
Desired outcome: I would like my tickets or tickets of equal value

I listed 3 tickets for sale on stub and seat geek. One ticket was purchased through seat geek on the same day before the buyer on stub hub. I have called stub hub numerous times within the three week period and informed the customer service rep I did not have three tickets I only had two tickets left. I was told by several customer service reps from stub hub, "if I did not have the three tickets stub hub is going to charge me the value plus penalties. I had no control over the ticket selling before stub hub made the purchase. I offered to send the other two tickets to the buyer but the customer service rep said all three tickets or no tickets. My order number for that transaction is [protected]
Desired outcome: Fairness

Purchased 2 tickets for the show for Albany, NY in March of 2023. Show ended up being postponed until September 19th 2023. Now the show is postponed until sometime in 2024.
I cannot get my money back as the show has not been canceled!
Semantics. These tickets were purchased and nothing has been delivered to the consumer!
Not a good way to do business. I did not just decide I did not want to go and the concert took place! Ridiculous and I would like a full refund.

Read full review of StubHub and 1 commentTicket scam and replaced with cheaper tickets with no credit
I purchased and paid for two tickets for my daughter and I to go to see Jelly Roll in the orchestra section for $1053. My credit card was charged that same day but I never received an email verifying my purchase. When I called about not getting the tickets they said that the email address was wrong but that the Seller had "a problem delivering the tickets" and I could have alternative tickets in an entirely different section which were originally half the costs of the ones I paid for. I believe that my tickets were withheld because they could sell them for a greater amount.
Desired outcome: I want my original tickets purchased and paid for in June of this year in the Orchestra Section. I was given Section 10 Row K tickets for the price of Orchestra 3 tickets.
