Concert tickets- StubHub - anyone used?

[IanV12]

Think this the right thread

Need to buy some Michael Buble tickets and am running out of time
Prices seem to be similar on Viagago, Stubhub etc, has anyone used any of these sites
to buy tickets? - on Viagogo there are £50 of fees on top of the £270 worth of tickets

Dont mind paying a fair price for the tickets but hate all the extras - can anyone recommend
the most reliable ways of buying tickets this way??

It's very highly recommended in the US, but I can't comment for the UK. I imagine it's the same, though.

Used them a few times in the US, they've been great. No experience in the UK though.

Digging this up after a search. My teenage daughter has bought 2 tickets for her first proper gig at a small venue in Camden. Gig's in March but when she tried Ticket Master last month it was already sold out.

She's used StubHub to buy the tickets.

2 tickets face value £25 bought for £45 each plus a £16 service charge

Black Veil Brides, never heard of them but I'm in my 50s, so are they that popular? She swears blind that they were sold out in December but I have just checked Ticketmaster and they are available for £28.50 each.

Do the venues hold tickets back? I think StubHub is just a tout by another name and yes I know they are eBay. I did call them to complain but the girl on the other phone was adamant that they were legit. She said that they would be happy to sell them on their site for no fees.

OK but what fool would pay over double the price for tickets that can be bought at the normal outlets.

They can't be bought at normal outlets it's sold out.

They have them at Ticketmaster currently. I just looked.

Are they that good then. I have to take her and I haven't paid to go to a gig since '92 'cos I'm paid to film them Means I've been a bit spoiled.

Enjoy, last tine I saw them the average crowd age was 12, the sound was terrible, and they played a really short set.

The teenage girl we were there with loved it, (13). They know who they are playing for, and they do what they do very well.

Glad someone has mentioned this. I may be looking at selling a couple of tickets as I seem to have double booked a gig one weekend where we should be attending a wedding. Unfortunately I don't have the tickets an cant be sure when ticketmaster (I think) will send them out to me.
If I was to sell these, via stubhub or any other recommended site, how do I go about this? What if I don't receive the tickets myself until a few days before the gig?

Send them via royal mail special delivery, guranteed next day by 9am or 1pm.

Costs a bit extra for a sat delivery but very reliable.
