    On March 28, 2025 I bought tickets to ***** on April 18th. The order was confirmed via email and I was told to sit tight the order will be delivered on or before the 18th. That day I went to get my tickets and could not locate an email with my tickets. I then logged into my account to learn that the seller withdrew his ticket offer. StubHub said they would provide comparable tickets. However there was only one option and it was 30 plus rows higher and 3 sections over away from the stage. The only other option was a refund, despite the fact that there were many other tickets available on their site. I ended up having to spend an addition 120 for seats that were still higher than the ones I had purchased but only by about 15 rows. Stub hub refused to compensate the additional expense despite the fact that they charge the seller a fee for not completing the transaction. Stub hub failed to notify me and effectively did a bait and switch where I had to expend more money for the same ticket. It is a clear UDAAP violation and their fan protection of a refund is useless- of course they have to refunded the money otherwise that would be stealing since there was nothing provided for in exchange

    We purchased 4 tickets to an *********** football/soccer game on Feb 15th, 2025. We had trouble getting the tickets but finally received them about ***** min before the game. (We flew to ******* for a family vacation and to see a game). We got to the venue on April 4th at 8:10 pm and found out our tickets were invalid and someone else had already used them. We paid $1367.31 Canadian/ ($895.58 Euros). I contacted Stub hub through their app many times in the two weeks following the game and their ** said that it was escalating our case. Every time I went into the app my conversation. Was gone and I would start over and each time they apologized and said that they were escalating it. When I finally got a hold of someone I believe this past Sunday, April 20. They told me that it was outside of the 14 day window to be able to get a refund and that they had no record of all of my chats with their **. Then when I was chatting today, the agent told me that the ** had said to contact someone and Inrealized they do have access to our chats. I told them that since the ** I was chatting with kept saying it was escalating our issue, I didnt think I also needed to call.

    3/30/25 I bought a parking pass for a concert 4/19/25. I was emailed the ticket and instructed to go to a website and entered my license plate information. It said you just leave the ramp after the event since my license plate was recorded. Fast forward to the event, I parked in the ramp. After the concert at 11:14 I went to leave and the gate wouldnt open. There was no attendant to speak with. Only a QR code to scan by the gate. I did so and was sent a bill for 7.99. Which I paid to leave. I contacted stub hub this morning and they said I am ineligible for a refund since I parked in the ramp.

    This company is incredibly misleading. They charged me a $22 up charge on a $35 ticket. Utterly ridiculous. They claimed to have listed out these charges clearly before I purchased the ticket, but that was 100% not the case. I used the ****** link to pay for the ticket, only to see these ridiculous fees on the receipt which came to my email, added AFTER I clicked on the completion of the ticket purchase. In addition, they had add-ons, which there was no way to opt out of, other than using the"x" in the upright corner. I should have caught on to their deception, because they were trying to force me into purchasing a parking ticket by not giving me a way to say no to the option. Again, this was a incredibly deceptive business practice. In summary, I pushed the ****** confirmation buttonfor the original amount if $35, only to end up with a $57.49 charge. I contacted them immediately, and requested a refund, letting them know that none of these charges had been listed. They refused a refund, saying all sales were final. As I said, they claimed these charges were laid out clearly, yet those additional fees were nowhere to be found when I purchased this ticket. I don't know if this is a problem with ****** and the platform, or if they're just incredibly deceptive, but I did not have these charges listed out before I purchased them, regardless of what they said. Though, conveniently for them, they were displayed on my final receipt that came to my email. I paid for a clearly listed $35 ticket when I press the confirm button on ******.

    StubHub fraudulently represented a ticket sale and said the seller provided proof of ticket transfer when it was never emailed to me and my app even shows the tickets was never received. It costed me over 4400 and I may miss the event. California penal code would have them liable to pay up to 200%. The operators are not of this country and from ************* where they cant make decisions even if seller fraudulently represented they sent the tickets when the app does not reflect the ticket being issued. I made over 10 calls to finally got them to admit my app doesnt have the confirmation of the tickets being received. They finally did an internal audit and stated that seller didnt deliver the tickets to my account. But ********************** didnt give a refund and there are no more comparable tickets left because that row of seats are sold out.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is acceptable to me and the matter has been resolved. I do have a request for them to have their customer service to be better trained and less argumentative. Since they are outside of *******, and the event settings are of time sensitive nature, it is important to have calls directed to American supervisory members for speedy resolution.

    I sold tickets on stubhub and was not paid. After a lot of research on my end, I found a small note that said payment to my ****** account failed. Theyve paid me this way numerous times and it didnt fail. They didnt attempt to pay as confirmed w ******. I updated my payment method and still nothing. Interesting timing because I also purchased a front row ticket to a concert on stubhub yesterday only for it to be delivered as 14th row. In both cases Im being told that they have to escalate to an internal **** and thats the same thing they tell everyone else with these issues. I need stubhub to pay the 931 I am owed and also give me the ticket I purchased.

    I purchased premium tickets to a Mizzou versus Texas game on StubHub.com on February 22. When I purchased the tickets, it was scheduled for April 4 in the evening. The stadium is over 3 hours away. Somewhere between Feb 22 and April 1, the game time changed to 1pm with no notification. Thankfully I checked and we were able to adjust our schedule. Less than 24 hours before game time, it was changed again to 11am with no notification. Again, thankfully I was watching the Mizzou social media pages and checking my tickets to see the change. With it being so much earlier, it now meant we had to leave our house BY 7am to make it on time. So again, we adjusted our schedule. We drove the 3+ hours to the game, entered the game, watched the players warm up for less than 5 minutes, listen to starting line **** and the game was put on hold for weather issues. We waited, then were told it would be a couple hours and to go find something to do, then come back. So we did. Upon re-entry we were told it was not cancelled due to weather. So we drove the 3+ hours home again with no game to watch. On my drive home I called the Mizzou ticket center to exchange the tickets for a different game. They said theyd get back to me. I received a voicemail that afternoon saying they couldnt exchange them because they were bought from StubHub. I contacted stubhub, they said to resell the tickets. I listed them. Then that game was changed too and the tickets couldnt be sold. Their refund policy says I should have been refunded 120% of my original cost for a cancelled game. I was told on my 4th call with customer service to get something in writing from stubhub saying the game had been cancelled. I did that. And have still been denied my refund. The game is listed as rescheduled in the stubhub system, and it was played in conjunction with a different game two days later but did not have separate tickets (the tickets for that day turned into doubleheader tickets). I just want my money back.

    On 10/26/2024, I bought two tickets for ******* at *************** for $1,014.04 total.The tickets were shown on the venue map as Section 1, Row 1, seats 5-6. This is the front row of the section, and the listing stated first row of section. When I received the tickets, I was shocked to see the tickets were actually in a different section: Section 1WC (Or Section1***), Row 1, seats 5-6. This is not the first row of the section, rather a separate area in the middle of the venue. It is also seating exclusively for wheelchair use. Somewhere on the listings disclosures may have said the phrase ***** or something to that effect. I do not recall seeing anything simply putting the phrase *** in the disclosures does not make it transparent that ONLY those with *** needs can use the seats. If the tickets had clearly stated For *** use only or Wheelchair Section, I would never have purchased them. If the tickets did not present themselves as First Row of Section, I would never have purchased them.I spoke with customer support on 10/26 and sent them screenshots of the tickets vs. the listing, and was told that they were in contact with the seller who was looking for replacement tickets. I followed up numerous times over the past few months, and am now being told that there are no refunds, even in cases like this, and I will need to try to sell the wheelchair only tickets to recoup my costs. Since the day I purchased the tickets, I have been trying to obtain a refund, or be seated in a non-*** replacement seat. But keep receiving responses from different members of the support team telling me it is my fault. I have attached photos of the Stubhub Listing vs. the Tickets Received and the Stubhub Seating Chart of Section 1 where these tickets were promised to be located vs. the Ticketmaster Seating Chart that shows the tickets in Section 1***, which is not the front row of the section.
