Stubhub can arbitrarily charge sellers additional fees if there is a ticket issue
I sold a pair of tickets on Stubhub for a concert that was rescheduled. My vendor told me that the original tickets were still valid so I did not worry about it. The tickets actually got reissued and the buyer could not use my original tickets at the gate. Stubhub never contacted me regarding this and ended up charging my CC the value of the tickets. If I was made aware of this, I could have called my vendor and this issue would have been resolved at the gate, but Stubhub did not bother to go this route. Since I cannot be told of what happened next, I can only guess that Stubhub purchased another pair of tickets that is had listed and provided them to the buyer. By going this route, Stubhub would collect an additional 15% seller commission fee. If Stubhub called me, this would have been all sorted out at the gate (of course, no additional commission fee for Stubhub).

A few weeks later, Stubhub charged me an additional $200 as an "inconvenience" fee for the buyer. I have no idea where the $200 number came from, but this was the amount charged to my CC. Stubhub can charge whatever amount they feel like and charge this amount to the seller. Since there are no limits in place, this type of policy unfairly favors the buyer. What happens if Stubhub decided to give the buyer $1000 or $10000? My CC just gets charged and that would be the end of the story. If a company is going to have such biased policy, limits need to me made and terms need to be clearly stated. The shady part about this is that the $200 is a just "store credit" the buyer receives. If the buyer never uses the credit, Stubhub basically makes a free $200 (at my expense). With the credit, Stubhub is forcing more business to itself so it can collect the outrageous 25% commission for a new ticket sale. Sellers watchout!!

Incompetence
Several days ago, I listed 4 tickets for sale to an NHL playoffs game on Stubhub. My listing expired before the tickets sold (or at least that's what an e-mail I received said), so I relisted my tickets which eventually sold. Several hours after receiving the first e-mail that said my tickets had sold, I received an additional e-mail saying that my tickets had sold. I called Stubhub to inform them that they had sold my same 4 tickets twice because I didn't want the two buyers to get ripped off due to Stubhub's error. I was told my claim was going to dispute resolution and I would be contacted within 24 hours. The following day I received an e-mail saying that I was being charged over $260 because I double listed the tickets and could not fulfill the orders.

I've called Stubhub several times since they decided to screw me over and my claim has again been submitted to dispute resolution, where I will allegedly be contacted by them again within 72 hours. Gee, I wonder how many hundreds of dollars they're going to try to steal from me this time! Their customer service reps are incompetent, rude, and incapable of resolving anything. I am a season/playoff ticket holder, so Stubhub will unfortunately be missing out on tons of $$$$$ and many transactions because they decided to screw me over. Do not buy or sell from these morons! I will continue to badmouth this company to everybody I know and through every outlet I have until I am refunded my money! I will continue to call these losers everyday until they refund my money!

Unauthorized StubHub Fees and Charges - Sellers Beware
I went on StubHub.com and sold (2) tickets to Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth Show. The show date was on April 10, 2011 and the tickets were sold to the “buyer” on that same day. A few days later, I received an email from StubHub.com stating I was being charged for $161.50 for “Replacement Tickets”. I called StubHub.com and the customer service representative stated that the “buyer” was turned away at the door when they tried to use the tickets. The charge was for the amount of the replacement tickets that StubHub.com provided to the “buyer”. I asked the customer service representative if the “buyer” provided any verbal proof or written confirmation that this was accurate, the customer service representative responded that they had nothing of that sort on file. I stated to the customer service representative that I sold a similar pair of tickets to the same event via StubHub and those tickets were accepted and worked normally. That same day, I called the Ticketmaster Company where I originally purchased the tickets and they told me that they did not see an issue with the tickets and re-confirmed that they were in fact working tickets.

A few days later, I received another email from StubHub.com with the subject line “Charged for an Error” stating that my credit card was being charged an additional $100.00. The email did not specify details of the error. I called StubHub.com the same day; the customer service representative said they compensated the “buyer” with a $100.00 gift certificate and stated I was being charged this amount to satisfy the “buyer” due to their negative experience. I reiterated my previous statement to the customer service representative that my tickets were in fact working and provided the information given to me by Ticketmaster.

I talked to a StubHub.com supervisor and they refused to refund any of these unauthorized charges and also froze the funds in which I originally sold the tickets for. I filed a complaint with the BBB and my credit card card company and will not be using StubHub.com any longer.

Tickets
After purchasing 2 tickets on 4/13/11 from Stubhub(order # 39025215) for 45 dollars for a NHL playoff game, I received a calling from a rep asking me to call him back. I called back and was told my tickets weren't confirmed for cause the seller took them off. Then she explains how I'm not covered under "fan protection" cause they were never confirmed and the money was never charge when in reality my card had a hold for 99 dollars(the tickets total) so therefore i couldn't use the 99 dollars anyway. She then goes on to say she can give me "courtesy" seats. Only thing is i have to pay the different of 40 more dollars. After asking how they are "courtesy", she says they are courtesy because they "looked for them when we didn't have to". They were actually worse seats then i actually PURCHASED! I asked her all you do is look on your website and see whats there and she confirmed that's right. After agreeing to the "courtesy" seats, she then says "actually, those seats are now gone". they were gone cause someone else bought them. Then she says that was the only option and I would have to take the refund or see if she can find some other tickets(which are selling for 50 dollars more). Only thing i could do is take the refund and now i am left ticketless and completely unsatisfied with 2 days before the event. Ive been using stubhub for the last 5 years and never again will I use it. Or recommended.

Payment delayment & customer service
The company sent my payment for tickets I sold to a nonexistent paypal account after I had changed my payment method to check immediately after I registered with their site. I immediately contacted them through their company site which promises an "8 hour reply tops", nope! I sent the message again with no reply. I called and again, no response. I sent an email with promises of bad publicity & finally received a response. This took over a week. Their response: you selected paypal, contact them & then we can get the funds back & you can have your check in 2-3 weeks. I replied furiously that was unacceptable so i had to open a paypal account to receive my funds which took an additional 3-4 days because paypal had to verify & receive the monies again from stubhub because paypal had sent them back. I am still in contact with the "customer service" team trying to get my fees back from stubhub for all the time, effort, delays, and frustration this has caused me. The last email from stubhub said that I had selected paypal & not check (so I'm the liar now) so they will waive my fees next time I sell tickets on their site. I will never use them for anything again in the future & I certainly will not recommend them to anyone. I verified on my account several times that my payment method was check while my tickets were for sale. The very least they should do is refund my fees, which are outrageous. Stubhub does not know the meaning of customer service and I am spreading the word to anyone who even entertains the thought of using them to sell tickets on their site.

Non existing seats
We purchased 2 Row D seats at almost $600 for a Rush concert. When we got to the venue there was no Row D as it is an "imaginary" row for the handicapped. If you are in a weelchair you are placed in the front and a folding chair is provided for the companion. When we asked for assistance at the venue they would not provide the folding chairs as we are not handicapped. We even offered to move if a handicapped person arrived - which would not have happened since we were the only ones who purchased those specific seats - but the venue did not accomodate us. They were actually enjoying it since we were "duped" by online brokers. So we ended sitting at a picnic table outside the concert area, with no access to seats. I called Stubhub, trusting that their fan guarantee would cover and refund, but after talking to an employee and a Supervisor I was informed it was too late for a refund and that I should have called when I received the tickets. I asked how would I have known the seats did not exist until we got to the venue the night of the concert? The Supervisor responded that unfortunately there was nothing she could do and would only refund their fees. We will never use Stubhub again and will let our coworkers, friends and family know not to use Stubhub either.

I would advise consumers not to trust their business practices
I bought tickets to a sold out event in December of 2009. The event was schedule for April 6, 2010, but was postponed for a later date. Ticket holders were instructed to wait until April 14th to obtain instructions as to how to exchange their tickets for the rescheduled date. The tickets in my possesion would not be valid for the new event date.

Knowing this I waited until April 14th, as instructed, and contacted the orginal ticket distributor for instructions on how to exchange the tickets. They informed me that I had to contact the seller to get them to exchange the tickets for me or to forward me information as to how to exchanges the tickets.

I contacted StubHub to get further information and was told that I had to return the tickets by April 22nd for a refund because the event was "cancelled."

I did prior research on StubHub's customer service webpage to determine how they handle a "postponed" event and how they handle a "cancelled" event.

According to the company who originally issued the tickets, the event was "postponed."

Yet, the StubHub customer service representative continued to argue with me that the event had been "cancelled."

At this point I am extremely dissatisfied with StubHub's service becasue they were not willing to honor the procedure the ticket distributor set for the postponed event, nor would they honor the information they posted on their website.

I would never refer anyone to StubHub due to this issue. I would advise consumers not to trust their business practices.

They are dishonest and cold to their customers
I placed a bid on tickets to game 4 of the World Series last year. My bid totaled over $900.00. Two days after I bought the tickets I had a family issue that made it that I couldn't attend the game. I called Stub Hub to see if I could retract the bid. They informed me I could not. I then asked to speak with a manager and he told me the same thing. It was unfortunate and I was upset but ultimately I understood. The manager I spoke with told me that since the auction was ending at 11:00 am on the day of the game and the tickets were e-tickets I could easily re-sell them on Stub Hub or even Craig's List if I were to win the auction. I ultimately decided to sell them on Craig's List. I even had a buyer lined up. Once I won I would e-mail him e-tickets once he paid me. I wound up winning the auction and I waited and waited for my e-ticket e-mail from Stub Hub. The e-mail never came. What did come was an e-mail explaining to me that Stub Hub could not provide me with the e-tickets that were advertised in the listing because of an "error". The e-mail explained that I needed to go down to the ballpark with my ID and the Credit Card I used to purchase the tickets. This was an impossible for me to do. I couldn't have my buyer go down there and get them because the tickets needed to be picked up by me with the two aforementioned pieces of ID. I eventually wrote Stub Hub to complain about the e-ticket switch-up and they told me that I could have whoever was going to the game pick them up but I had to give them the person's information. This was not feasible. Stub Hub’s response e-mail also didn't get sent back to me until about an hour before game time. Stub Hub did not care when I called them originally to try and back out of my auction bid. They didn't care why I couldn't go. They kept on going on and on about their guarantee. The fact that I had been a loyal paying customer of their company for over 5 years didn't factor into anything. They also royally screwed me over by not delivering my tickets to me electronically like the listing said they would and by waiting so long to respond to my complaint. You really shouldn't deal with these people. They could care less about you and what you want. Their guarantee only protects YOU the fan until it inconveniences Stub Hub. Then you are on your own.

48 Hours of Misery
My first experience with StubHub will most definitely be my last.

Two days ago, I purchased Winter Classic Tickets. Or so I thought.

Apparently, when I clicked on "purchase", I thought that meant that I "purchased" them. But that's not the case. Because what that really means is that I have the "chance to purchase" them. The seller then gets to decide whether they actually will sell them to me.

In other words, I spent the last 48 hours feeling hopeless and rejected (watching deals fly by me), waiting for the seller to confirm the deal. No confirmation. Why would StubHub put its customers through such misery?

An hour ago, I logged onto eBay and found a similar pair of tickets from a seller of 100% rating. I emailed him about shipping them to me on time. He wrote back to me within 1 minute, saying "no problem, you'll get them overnighted". Now that's customer service. That's how business is done.

I'm a guy who will pay high prices for peace of mind. But that's just not possible with StubHub. Never again.

Rotten Service
Do not purchase tickets through stubhub if you want to get your tickets in time for the event. I purchased a ticket from them on 10/22 and after they finally confirmed the ticket was available on 10/23 at 12:25 am I did not recieve the ticket until 6 hours before the concert on 10/24. On Sat 10/24 at 8:20 they sent me what they call a "automated email" titled "edelivery issue" saying "We are aware that your seller has not yet uploaded your tickets for your Event. "which, keep in mind the concert was scheduled for that evening.I finally received notification the tickets were ready for upload on 10/24 at 1:01 pmSince i was not home after 12pm i did not receive the notification until the next day since I had to leave the house.The customer service guy basically told me that in this "technically savvy world" i should have been able to make arrangements to print out the tickets even though it was 6 hours before the concert and since i was on the road i had no idea they had sent me this email at 1pm when the concert was at 7pm that evening!
They said after the fact the seller had difficulty uploading the ticket but not once did they let me know that the ticket would indeed be available before the event.They said "you should have called us" I purchased a ticket and the product should have been delivered to me in a timely manner which it was not.I had no access to a pc when they finally did upload the ticket at 1:01 pm when the concert was at 7. They will not refund my money but offered me a$10 certificate good towards a future purchase . So basically i paid $59.95 for a worthless piece of paper.I will NEVER use their service again.If you want to purchase a ticket from them ...be warned as i am sure i am not the only one who has had this issue and i wish i would have used the old adage " buyer beware"
