They've always delivered on everything they've promised when I've used them.

They are also cheaper than the other ticket services though one time I used TicketsNow and found better prices.

Never had a problem.

They don't confirm that the people selling the tickets actually have the tickets, so sometimes it takes 24-48 hours before you get confirmation that the seller actually has them. In my view, that's the only problem -- if it's for an event that close in time, waiting for confirmation that you'll get your tickets can be a pain because you're sort of sitting there unable to make an offer on any other tickets but without confirmation. Once you get confirmation, though, they've never failed to deliver for me.

Note that some sellers now can send you the tickets electronically and stubhub has relationship with the clubs too, so you can get them quickly, so the confirmation delay is not always that significant at all. I just bought some baseball tickets this week through stub hub and got them virtually instantly via e-mail.

They did have a good variety of tickets for sale but seemed a little expensive. I ended up getting tickets off of ebay for a lower price.

I am always reserved about buying e-tickets like the ones that come in PDF format. There is nothing from preventing a person to print off (or email out) multiple identical tickets and of course the first person to get through the gate voids out the other identical barcodes......just something to consider when dealing with e-tickets.

I have nothing against StubHub, but I did buy tickets to a Chargers game while in San Diego and the seats weren't for the area the website said they were at. Fortunately, I was able to make my way to the field level, 30 yard line and didn't have to sit in the seats I bought. A friend, who uses them for everything, told me that I should had told them and gotten a refund or something. Thats what he has done!

I have used them a couple of times for both NFL and MLB tickets. As said, they can be quite expensive, however I was able to get to the games I wanted to see without any trouble.

For one event I was attending, I purchased the tickets about six weeks before the game and about a week before I still had not received the tickets. I phoned their call center and the representative spoke to the seller on the other line while I remained on the phone. The tickets arrived about two days later and they were actually closer to the field than what I had purchased. No complaints here.
