Anyone have theatre ticket stub hub success before?

I have heard it said more than once that those who are looking for theatre tickets should not use stub hub. That, the tickets my not be legit tickets.

That being said, I use stub hub a lot for both sporting events as well as concerts with that never being an issue. That said, I am on the fence (for no reason other than nerves) to use them for theatre tickets. I am well aware of their fan protection guarantee but still. I was wondering if anyone had any success stories from buying tickets to a show via stub hub.

That's what I thought. Like I said, one would think that, if I used them for other events before with zero issue, then I shouldn't have an issue with them. I think that perhaps it was some of the untrue things said about them regarding theatre tickets.

It's not uncommon on stub hub, regardless of the event, for the seller to lower the price of the tickets if it's getting closer to the start time. That way, they may not be able to get what they initially sol it for, but something is better than nothing. Seeing that, to me at least, should have been and indicator that things are not going to be a problem. I mean, the show in question that I was looking for there was My Fair Lady.

If the ticket is fraudulent, Stubhub will refund your money.

Why there over Ticketmaster Resale?

Saw Sunday in the Park last spring using StubHub, and had no problems.

I’ve seen multiple shows and gotten my tickets from stub hub and I’ve never once been denied entry. I bought tickets for ben platt’s last show through them and they were in fact legit. You don’t have to worry no one I’ve ever gone to shows with has had a problem.

I second this - I got last minute concert tickets on stubhub that weren't listed as partial view online but were marked PV on the ticket once I got it - they immediately gave me full view seats in the same section that were better than what I had paid for at no extra cost, and are very good with refunds if need be as well. I bought a ticket for Angels on there once and almost did frozen one day when it got down to $15 close to curtain and there are definitely times when it's the best route to go! No harm in keeping an eye out or setting price alerts

I have bought a few times and have sold MANY times. Only had one small issue. Their customer support team is amazing! I had someone purchase 2 tickets from me and then cancel the order an hour later. Stubhub charged my credit card for the tickets because the buyer told them a BS story. The girl I spoke to immediately refunded that charge and tole me to resist the same tickets and they would pay me wether the tickets sold or not. I actually have it in writing rom the email the sent a few hours later. They are very PRO Customer! I highly recommend them.

FWIW that sounds like the smart thing to do, not paranoid. Why take the risk when you have an option that's just as good?

I've only used StubHub for concerts, but I've never had a problem. They're owned by eBay, so it's not like it's a fly-by-night and they do stand by their refund policy for fradulent tickets.
