Happened a half hour ago...he got them from stubhub, went to get them scanned, someone must have got there before him, they took his duplicate ticket away so he cant confront the people in those seats. Complete bullshit. Luckily a fan sold him an upper deck seat for $80.

Gotta love these fans...

Makes me a bit worried, I never bought a fake from stub hub.. but this makes me a bit weary..

    If tickets are invalid and are not honored by the venue:

    In the event the Buyer encounters any problems at the venue, the Buyer is encouraged to call StubHub Customer Service immediately at 1.866.StubHub (1.866.788.2482) for assistance. If the Buyer contacts StubHub from the venue at the time of the event, StubHub will attempt to locate comparable replacement tickets for the buyer. If replacement tickets cannot be found, or if the Buyer was not able to contact StubHub before the event, StubHub will provide the Buyer with a prepaid FedEx shipping label to use in returning the tickets to StubHub along with a Ticket Return Form. Upon confirmation by the venue that the tickets were invalid, StubHub will issue the Buyer a refund for the full cost of the tickets, including service fees and shipping and handling charges.

    Offices were closed when this went down.. he would not have been able to get tickets from them.

    Also, the print out was taken away from him.. so what does he do? It's a fucked up situation.

    Scammers suck. BIG TIME.

    I imagine they confiscated the tickets though, so you can't send them back. Sounds very unfortunate and dodgy! Glad the show was seen though.

    Yeah well, it's starting soon I imagine... hes all the way up top, but hes super appreciative, and is buying the person who sold him the ticket a souvenir of their choice.

    That sux. This right here is why I NEVER EVER buy print out tickets.
    I'd still at least file a complaint with stubhub tomorrow if I were him.

    That happened to a buddy of mine with Black Keys tickets earlier this year.

    I do not trust those print out tickets. You pretty much have to enter the venue right when doors open to ensure you get in.

    Yeah, bad idea to buy printout tix at other than Ticketmaster or Live Nation...I've never had trouble when purchasing and printing direct from them...however....these days its always in the back of my mind. In my situation though...a snail mail ticket may never reach my hands...long story.

    That really sux....

    Glad he was able to get into the show though.

    Hope there is something to be done for it.
    peace,

    met someone from VA who bought a bum ticket for a couple hundred dollars. i hadn't planned on going tonight but made my way down to the venue (i could only afford tomorrow night but figured i'd see if i felt spontaneous haha)

    met Ed briefly, he signed my well-worn copy of People's History.

    a friend had an extra for this evening, and i planned on using it, but as the doors opening drew nearer, I felt bad for the guy...and sold him mine for face.

    hope he enjoys the show.

    see whoever is going tomorrow @ the bar before hand.

    Stubhub has a 24 hour 800 number and they ALWAYS back up their tix. Your friend kinda dropped the ball here, a little effort would have ended him with tix that were better than his originals.

    How is he supposed to retrieve tickets if the stubhub office was closed for the night?????

    If they're the downloaded stubhub tickets off the website you can go download them again. But man that sucks, send them a complaint right after the show

    He or she should still definitely file a complaint w/ StubHub. They will at least be able to track down the seller and ban them from the site. I wouldn't be surprised if they offered you friend either a full refund or a credit to another event. They're a very profitable business and giving away a pair of tix to another even to ensure customer satisfaction would be a smart move. They have that 100% fan protect guarantee, so maybe it falls under that clause.

    I guess if stubhub needs the ticket proof, the venue can give it back to him?

    yeah, i never understand when people (fans that is) resell their tickets to fellow fans to make a profit.

    pay it forward IMO.

    plus, we've ALL been there.
