Re: Can you trust Stubhub for DMB tix?
Much as I hate scalpers, StubHub's customer service is excellent and if you end up with a fake ticket, or a ticket that doesn't match the description (i.e. obstructed view not being labeled as such, etc...) they will take care of you with equivalent or better tickets to what you purchased.
Someone over in the Alpine thread just bought an Alpine pair that were labeled as "center aisle" and ended up being seat #'s in the 60's, which is 30+ seats off the center aisle. They offered him either equivalent center section seats that were for sale on the site or a $200 credit if he wanted to keep the seats.
Where they really kill you is fees - they nail the buyer AND the seller with a bunch of fees. So if you are just looking to unload some tickets that you bought for face value, you have to mark them up like 15-20% just to get back what you paid.
I just sold 3 Deer Creek N2 pavilion tix on SH earlier this week. They were way off to the side and not generating much interest here and I didn't want to get stuck trying to unload them in the lots, so I threw them on SH and LN verified resale. They were $85 uppers, and with the LN/TM fees I paid about $310 for the 3. If you list them for say $103 each, you'll only actually get about $260 back after SH takes their piece. They also hit the seller with fees, so a $103 ticket actually costs them about $120 each even though I as the seller am only getting about $87 each back.
I ended up marking them down to $99 each, they sold, and I got $252 out of the deal.
