I had a problem with them about below cost Stones tickets back in Oct 2002. I went to the San Francisco attorney general and then they quickly resolved the problem.

I'm on the phone with them now as I type. They just sent me the wrong tickets because the broker they are selling for found a higher buyer (my assumption). I had bought reserved front row for Velvet Revolver (center mezz) and they sent me cheaper general admission tickets.

Now they think I should be happy with just a refund. They cost me time and money. I also don't like any ticket brokers so if this is a chance to help regulate them or shut them down, now is the time.

I'm looking for anyone who ever had a problem with STUB HUB to contact me at: dreamtime@att.net

Thank-you and Happy New Year!

Never buy from StubHub. They just mark up the price from the brokers who hold the tickets. Find a good local broker, and save yourself about 20%. By the way, if you don't like brokers, why buy from them?

No thanks, I am smart enough to know better than to deal with them in the first place. No need to get the authorities involved to "protect me."

And why would you buy from a broker for Velvet Revolver? During the summer/fall tour, half capacity was a good night.

I see why these 'forums' are never going to work on any site. It seems the people who respond are always the negative ones and the same ones who don't read and understand the post before they reply.

I ONLY BUY DISTRESSED TICKETS BELOW COST!!

This was only the third attempt since 2002. The first was the Stones, as mentioned, where I won an auction for $175 for 2 $350 tix. That's why they tried to wiggle out of that one. The second time was the Stones in Hawaii this past tour. $74 for 4th row tickets were in the mail to me when the show was cancelled. And now $49.50 for $167 tickets.

AND YOU DO NEED PROTECTION!! IF YOU EVER BOUGHT ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE, PROTECTION WAS INVOLVED.

AND MAYBE IF YOU WERE PART OF THE SOLUTION AND HELPED BREAK UP CLEAR CHANEL/LIVE NATION/TICKETMASTER/EBAY, YOUR TICKETS MIGHT BE CHEAPER & BETTER!!!

go back to sleep dreamtime, maybe you will awake in the REAL world

I don't have any problem with Clear Channel/Live Nation/Ticketmaster/Ebay. I never pay more than I want to. The reason for high prices is the artists.

Heard nothing but good things about stub hub

Stub hubs rocks

YES,it's always the artists/band fault/responsibility but it's also the responsibility of concert goers to express themselves that they do not want to pay for all these middlemen/promoters/ticket distributers' yachts!!

Live Nation is Crap
Clear Chanel is Crap
Cohl is Crap

If you believe you are in a fair market driven environment, your even more foolish than I can believe!

It is a corrupt, controlled industry that needs to be broken down. They complain to USA government about piracy in China etc and demand tax payers pay for their protection but you think people don't need protection?

Go back to school!!

Then don't pay them. Pretty easy choice to make.

If you keep giving the middleman your money only to whine about it later, then YOU are the fool.

If you don't think you are getting a good value for your money or getting a good deal, then just walk away. Even most retards can figure that much out. We're not talking gas and baby formula here.

And yeah right, tickets will be so much cheaper and easier to get if the government got involved in the distribution. Gimme a break. I don't need Uncle Sam holding my hand throughout the process, sorry you are having such a hard time with it. There is plenty of government protection for the mentally disabled, maybe you can get your social worker to help you get concert tickets.

The "fans"/ticket holders on stubhub set the price.
I've got some good deals on stubhub too depending on the state of supply and demand.
What I do not like about stubhub is that they charge a 15% commission to both the buyer and the seller during a sales transaction. Also, FEDEX is the only shipping option they offer and it's $25 USD. stubhub doesn't combine shipping for multiple purchases either which is a rip-off.
But the reliability of service is great, I never had a problem with getting what I bought as advertised.
With stubhub, ebay and other ticket auctioning sites, patience pays off. In most cases you can find the best deals leading up to just before the event. The tickets are always listed high in adavnce of the event but as the event draws closer, the ticket prices drop like a rock so they don't go unsold.
