I happened to be looking at tickets for the hell of it (not really planning to go) and I noticed the exact same tickets were listed on both Ace and Stubhub (Sec 109, Row 37, Seats 11-17, if you're interested.)
So how the heck does that work? How does (say) Stubhub know to pull the tickets down if Ace sells them? Or is that on the person who listed the tickets? But then what happens if he doesn't and someone then buys them from Stubhub? Stubhub would/should issue a refund, I'd imagine, but that still screws you over if you were counting on going.
And both list them as "instant download". So that would seem to mean both have the barcode or whatever is needed to generate a ticket that can be home-printed.
I'm probably being overly paranoid but it does all seem somewhat fishy.
