    Like people have Stubhub is a reputable place to buy from. The tickets are guaranteed. I bought a $750 ticket to get into the 12.12.12 concert in NYC and it was bogus. Stubhub refunded my ticket price and then gave me a free alternate ticket to use. Worked out great for me!

    WOW!!!

    interesting how they can just provide tickets for a large event at the drop of a hat... tells me they own a lot of the tickets they have for sale, not individual sellers... or they bought the tix from a seller and just gave them to you?

    I was pissed for a few minutes missing Springsteen's performance, but when I got a free refund and a free ticket, I was pretty happy. I don't know how they have the tickets but they must have to buy some in case people get burned, otherwise why trust Stubhub?

    The contact at Stubhub was great and even followed up after the show.
    You call them how many minutes or hours before the show when yoy know the tix is fake?, or theres an employee at the venue?? its very risky for me coming from SA to wait to buy at the venue or stub hub and be cheated

    I am on the 'peace of mind' side. I have the money and now I have the tickets. I understand this is not popular, and that if I wanted to check back throughout the next 3 months that I might get the same seats at a fraction of the price. However...I now know right where I am sitting at 3/4 of the shows I am attending, and 10C tickets will be in play where I do not know. To me, this represents value.

    I tried for Fan club first for GA with my wife and my number and then supplement the shows I want to see with other sources I feel confident in, and this sums it up well for me...
