Tickets What do you think of Stub Hub?

**Lzen** · 08-05-2011, 03:21 PM

I'm thinking of picking up some tix to the season opener. I'm just not sure I trust Stub Hub. There are some bad reviews on resellerratings.com. Has anyone had experience with purchasing tix from them? How did it go? They have tix for the season opener starting at $19. Yeah, the shipping is $11. But that still makes it only about $30 per ticket.

I had 8th row in the playoff game in one of the corners for $60 bucks a piece off of stubhub...not from the KC area so I was concerned, but it was legit.. picked them up at that hotel right outside of arrowhead

They get you with the service fees, which don't show up until the end of the transaction. When I got MNF tickets last year, they added $25 per ticket.

I have no problem with them, because I'm the type of person that wants to pick exactly where I sit, and am willing to pay for it. I can't stand the "best available" option on ticketmaster (which also has ludicrous fees anyway) - what's to say my best is the computer's best? For instance, I'd rather sit in upper level end zone than lower level corner, and I'd rather sit row 30 near midfield than row 2 around the 10 yard line.

Delivery has never been an issue, but I've always ordered them well in advance.

eBay is the best way to go IMO.

Yeah, I'm thinking I may go that route. $25 service fees? Screw that!

Never had a problem. Met some cool people. Had some great ****ing seats.

I'm a big fan of Stubhub. Very easy to use and never had any issues. As for the service charges, I figure I'm saving the difference and more by being able to pick seats easily and see a competitive price list from sellers. Good service.

I'm sure it varies based on price. The $25 was for MNF on the 50, can't remeber how much but think they were around $100 each. $20 tickets couldn't be more than $5 or $10.

Which makes me wonder, don't people usually give away preseason tickets like halloween candy?

How the heck are you getting 50 yd line seats for $100? Stubhub in California is a shitload of $$$ for chargers games. I get my arrowhead seat on ebay or let one of my studly CP pals get them.

They were way the F up there.

Which is actually pretty nice now that they built the covered bathroom/concession area at the top.

You think you are getting a good deal until the service fee pops up.

There are better deals out there.

I love it. eBay is good too. Just bought 2 tix for the season opener. 8 rows up in the third tier on the homeside 20 yardline. Tix were $57 each, plus $11 service charge, plus $11 for shipping. All told $137 for 2 tix that I got to choose, still below face even with shipping and service fee.
