    On February 2nd, 2025, I purchased 4 tickets to *** ****** Concert in ********, July 19th 2025, which cost me $2,635.92 cdn.The reason I went to the Stubhub site was the tickets were listed prior to them going on sale to the Public (Ticketmaster) and the Fan Protector Guarantee. When I received confirmation it was a different section up in the bleachers (Section E2), I advised **************** right away of the discrepancy. I was told the day I purchased them that I was protected by the FanPro Guarantee and that I would receive a full refund. I have been going back and forth since the 2nd of February with various employees by email and telephone. I have spent so much time trying to get a refund . I am requesting a full refund given the following:1. Stubhub misrepresented the tickets I purchased:2. I was given tickets that were not the ones I purchased, and 3. To ensure I had tickets for my nieces and nephew, I purchased 4 through Ticketmaster, as they went on sale to the general public.

    On 3/17/25 I received an email from StubHub at 8:57AM stating that I bought tickets (Order #*********) for $699.05. I did not place this order and within 10 minutes of receiving the email I changed my password, deleted all my payment options, and contacted StubHub to let them know I did not place the order. This payment was taken out of my account balance since I had $700 in gift cards in my account. The ********************** agent said I would hear back from them within 24 hours which did not happen. On 3/19 I messaged with Stubhub about this issue and the agent stated that I would have to open a new account and make a purchase before anything could be done which doesn't make sense. This person also stated I would hear back within 5 days and this did not happen.On 3/27 I spoke with an agent who told me this issue was escalated and that I would hear from them within 24 hours and this did not happen.On 3/31 I received an email from StubHub stating that "We wanted to inform you that your case has been escalated to our internal team. A dedicated agent is now reviewing the details to ensure a thorough resolution." I did not hear anything back from StubHub.On 4/6 After hearing nothing from them I called again stating my concern that StubHub has essentially done nothing and she told me that it has been escalated and that I have to be patient. I told her I have been patient for 3 weeks now and am losing patience. She said that I would hear something within 72 hours and this did not happen.All of this seems very suspicious. I had $700 in my StubHub account and the fraudulently purchased tickets were for $699.05 which basically drained my entire account. Each time I call, every representative has told me to contact my credit card company but this was an account balance in my StubHub account, not a credit card transaction. Since I let StubHub know immediately that this was fraud and nothing was done, I feel StubHub is stealing my money and is stalling by doing nothing to help me.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    The response from StubHub sounds mostly like a generic form letter they send for all customer complaints. The issue remains unresolved. The latest contact I received from StubHub was the following email on Wednesday, April 23 at 11:57 AM.

    Sports Concerts Theatre

    Dear ****,

    We are contacting you regarding your order ********* for Carpenters Legacy on 17 March 2025.

    I tried calling you at the number on file, but unfortunately, I was unable to connect. Please reply to this email with your preferred contact time.

    Kind regards,
    ********

    After I received this email I immediatelychecked the recent calls log on my mobile phone and there were no call attempts from StubHub or voicemails left from them. I contacted them immediately after I received this email from them and repeated my contact phone number and did not hear back from them.

    StubHub has admitted this was a fraudulent transaction on my account and I am still waiting for a refund to my account.

    In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.


    Sincerely,

    **** *******

    On 2/23/25, 8 tickets to Pgh Pirate baseball game purchased for a game on 4/4/25 for a total of *******. 3 seats were able to download (seats 6-8). 5 seats were not available in the app or via email. On 4/1/25, spoke to an agent about 5 missing tickets. Screen shot upon request to StubHub. They attempted to solve problem, signing into *** app, but still no tix. They were 'escalating' investigation. Informed tix would be available 24 hrs before event. On 4/3/25 at 4:30, we called StubHub again. Still not resolved. They'll call us before 8AM on 4/4 with either new tickets or the correct tickets. On 4/3 at 5PM, tried to transfer the other 3 tickets to people in our group, but those tickets were gone. StubHub now says a phone call between 6-10 AM with a resolution. Also were informed that this call started a new case and discouraged from calling again. Agent promised "your tickets are protected by fan protect". Promised one of three outcomes: same tix with new bar codes, comparable tix, or refund. On 4/4 morning, no phone call to us nor any email.4/4 at 2:22 got email stating to enjoy the event. We replied to email stating never got tix. On 4/4, I had to purchase tickets from another vendor to get into event. On 4/4, emailed STubHub with this summary and stated a refund is requested. (I have screen shots of emails/phone calls as evidence to the timeline)

    I was charged incorrectly for a ticket sale. The original purchase as well as the sale was through the StubHub platform and they acknowledged that the issue was on their end and I should not have been charged. I was told I needed to wait up to a month for the refund first and then the payment would go out, however I have not received any refund or communication from them since then. Every time I call, it is impossible to get through to the relevant department as they say they do not accept calls so I am just stuck. In the meantime I am out not only the money from the sale but also an additional charge they applied to my card.

    I purchased two tickets from StubHub under the assurance that the seats would have a clear view of the stage:Sec 207, Row 13, Seat 5 Sec 207, Row 13, Seat 6 After purchasing, I checked the view from these seats on the ************* A View from My Seat website:***************************************************************** closest comparable view I found was from Section 210, Row 15, Seat 2. Although this section is on the opposite side of the arena, it offers a similar vantage point. Photos posted by concert attendees show that the screens are obstructed by ceiling lights, indicating that the view from my purchased seats would be similarly obstructed. Upon discovering this, I bought different tickets with an unobstructed view.When I contacted ***** to submit a claim for a refund, the representative mistakenly documented the reason as I returned or canceled this purchase but haven't been credited. This is incorrect. My actual reason for the claim is that the view from the seats is obstructed, contrary to what was stated when I purchased the tickets.StubHub denied the claim, stating that ************ reported the seats have a clear view. When I followed up with Ticketmaster, they informed me that they could not issue a refund because I purchased the tickets through StubHub.I am requesting a refund because I was informed that the seats had a clear view when purchased, but this information was incorrect.Attachments:Two photos from concert attendees showing the obstructed view from similar seats Three screenshots proving that StubHub claims the view from similar seats is clear StubHub receipt for the tickets

    I decided to sell concert tickets a month ago on StubHub website because Im unable to attend. When listing my tickets, I got an error message when trying to list the row number so I decided to start over so I can list them correctly. With the concert approaching I decided to check on my listing. Unbeknownst to me, I created 2 listings for the same tickets and they were sold. I contacted StubHub to tell them that second listing was a mistake but they are saying I now owe them for 2 tickets. Im not sure of their policy since this is my first time selling tickets, but this seems ridiculous that theyre now trying to charge me! I never received any funds nor have I uploaded any tickets. How is this possible? Ive tried numerous times trying to rectify this issue with this company but theyre insisting I owe them. You can clearly see the orders were made back to back. Why would someone list something they dont have? Are we not allowed to make mistakes? I never received any funds!!!

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    As I explained, four days before the event I noticed the error. The sale was duplicated for some reason. I called at least 8 times and requested to speak with a supervisor. All 8 of your employees refused to connect me with a supervisor to clear this mistake up. Not to mention, how did your system allow the same tickets to be posted twice? Not to mention, you waited until after the event to address this issue. I had no choice but to file a complaint with this company. Why should anyone be responsible for an error? Not only did I try to contact someone with authority to fix this issue but your employees refusal to assist me with this matter leads me to assume this was intentional done. I still believe I should not be responsible for an error that your company refused to assist me with fixing.

    On April 4th I purchased tickets to the Kill **** event in *********, ** to attend that evening. The event started at 7:00 PM and I did not recieve the tickets until 8:08 PM. I contacted stubhub and was told there is nothing they could do for me because it is after the event. One of my friends purchased tickets from a separate source in order to be able to attend the event. Once we entered the venue, it was required we place our phones into locked bags. Due to this, I couldn't contact StubHub until after the event.

    I purchased Comedy show tickets on 03/09/2025 @ 10:59 am. I purposely selected the seats. At 3:25 pm, I received an email to accept the ticket change. After reviewing the new assigned seats - I called customer service because I felt the tickets were not comparable. As I discussed with the 1st rep, the seats were not my selection, and the seats are offered less than what I paid. I originally asked for a refund for the difference which was $36 per person because the assigned seats were $99 each from TicketMaster. I was declined. I asked for a manager, **** continued to defend that the tickets were in his opinion comparable, and he could not adjust the price or give me the seats that I located and asked for. I demanded a full refund. He declined and wanted to discontinue the call. After ending the call, I immediately started a chat - I communicated with ****. After rehearsing everything, **** agreed to a refund. She said that she would send a refund link. I took a screenshot of this promise. We ended the chat. I re-purchased tickets directly from TicketMaster for floor seats. After the show, I checked my email and realized I did not receive my refund link. I started another chat and ***** wanted to argue that the seats were comparable, no refund is allowed regardless of what **** said, and the show was over. ***** also stated that I needed to "return" the tickets. I was never directed to return digital tickets that I did not use, nor should my refund be denied after it was promised. Under the company's Fan Protect policy - refund is an option. I contacted the company prior to the show and minutes after they changed my tickets.

    [Your Answer Here]

    I am requesting that the recorded call is pulled as well as review of the chat screenshot that supports my request for refund. I did not accept the tickets because they were not comparable in price, they were listed for $36 less per ticket from what I purchased. I also asked for better seats and was told by the manager ****, he could not give me those seats. He said he felt that what he selected was comparable.  I vehemently refused the tickets and begged for a refund. I was promised a refund by ****, as seen in the screenshot. If the call was recorded as they state, they should be able to pull the call from 3/9/25 around 3:30 pm and review the conversation in detail and it is very clear that I did not accept those tickets. I even purchased other tickets for floor seats because I accepted the refund **** offered. If I was not under the impression that I would receive the refund as stated by the chat representative, I would not have purchased another set of tickets at a higher cost.

    I ordered 2 tickets in February for a concert, and a parking pass to go with them that was to take place on april 5th, 2025 through stubhub. They took the money, and said the tickets would be delivered on the day of the concert. On the Tuesday before the concert, they said my parking pass was ready, and redirected me to ParkWhiz to claim it, who said I don't have a parking pass. I got ahold of stubhub, and let them know about this, and they said I would have replacement parking by Saturday. On sSaturday, I still had neither, so I bought parking elsewhere, and stubhib assured me I would have replacement tickets an hour before the concert. So I drove to the venue, with no tickets in hand, trusting they would do as they said. Got there, parked, and waiting until concert time, and still nothing! All in all, I spent a solid 5 to 6 hours dealing with their customer service, and was basically told that it was unwise of me to use them, and that I should have just bought directly from the ticket seller. They did issue a refund for the concert tickets themselves, but still nothing for the parking pass, and I had to shell out extra 25 bucks to buy parking elsewhere for a concert I didn't get to see, plus another 45 bucks for gas to get there and back. I feel they should reimburse me for the costs that I paid for them, and for the extra money I had to waste because they assured me that they would have my tickets ready by ********. And honestly for the all of the wasted time. This company is a scam, and should be made to pay out some sort of settlement to their customers that they have treated this way.
