Buying tix on StubHub

Yes, the show has been sold for weeks, so your only chance other than rush, is to buy tix from the scalpers on a site like stubhub.

Ive never used them, but people say they are reliable and theyll take care of you should the tix be fake.

Yes it’s legit. Used it multiple times. But adding on, fees are ridiculous. $20 average just for the fees.

Stubhub is completely legit. I have bought and sold tickets through them for theatre, sporting events, music concerts, etc.

When you search for tickets, their system’s default feature is to show you prices without their fees, so if you proceed to actually buying something double check the price before you click accept because their default is to add their fees in at the very end.

You can adjust the settings to view ticket prices with their fees included but you have to change that in the search features otherwise it will display prices without fees and you will think, hey, that’s not too bad and then you go to checkout and it’s $100 bucks more, so be careful.

But otherwise, their inventory is legit. Look for tickets that have immediate download as well.

yes - i just looked at one ticket and it was listed for $390 and then there was a $100 service fee added.  it came to $499 after everything.  I've never paid this much for any show - not even Hamilton.   I'm really unsure on this.  I'd be coming in from across the country and would be devastated if it turned out not to be a legit ticket.

I'm also noticing that its nearly impossible to get a single ticket.  There mostly all grouped in twos.

For Moulin Rouge I just stood in line and bought a ticket at 7:58pm, and downloaded it on my phone and walked in and sat down. I was waiting for the price to drop, and got a good seat for $60.

I bought a ticket to Hadestown an hour before the show for a pretty good price and also just sold a ticket to Little Shop of Horrors as my schedule changed and couldn't make it (and sold not at a premium...). 

As others mentioned, the fee is pretty bad but I think it's a pretty solid option. 

A Canadian in NYC said: "I've never bought tickets on StubHub before. I really want to see Little Shop of Horrors but there are no tickets available for my dates on Telecharge. There are some on StubHub for a premium of course which I don't mind paying, but is this site legit? Are there any other secure ways of getting tickets?

Thanks in advance!"

Monitor the prices and that will give you an idea of what you could expect day of.

I've seen LSOH range day of between $150 - $400 with a unicorn at $100 that I would have bought if I hadn't won the Moulin Rouge Lottery.

It's an incredibly small theatre combined with the popularity of the show as a cult classic and Groff as an incredibly talented and appealing lead.

If you are planning on coming to town anyway, I would just set out a few dates where you might have some flexibility to wait and if it doesn't work out, go to a plan B show. There are generally competitive prices for other shows on Stubhub or you can always swing up to TKTS last minute.

If you go in person to their brick and mortor store on 39th and Broadway, they give you 15% off your purchase (at least right now) and will print your tickets for you. I did this for Book of Mormon last week and ended up getting a partial view (but still really solid) orchestra seat for about $30/ticket fees included.

In the unlikely event you get a ticket that doesn't work, StubHub will either replace the ticket or issue a refund. For LSOH, it is unlikely they would be able to replace the ticket given the limited inventory, but I've never had an issue personally with a bad ticket.

As others have mentioned, totally legit, but high fees comparative to buying it initially on telecharge.
