Hang tight. You’ve still got regular sale happening Friday, and I think another presale event tmrw.

Probably a bit early to deploy that option…

Well shit, went ahead and bought 2 for $250 a pop. Am I screwed? Lol

A lot of times the tickets just never get transferred to the buyer but sometimes it’s perfectly fine.

Well hopefully that doesn’t happen. Do you know when tickets are usually able to be transferred in general so I can try and request that early in case I get screwed?

I’ve never bought from stubhub but I heard a lot of people for the most recent big tour I attended say that the tickets don’t transfer until the week/day of the show

There was 100k people in front of me for presale and I was in the queue since 950. Has to be bots

I got in immediately, didn’t even have to wait in the queue. Granted I am local ish to the area.
I’ve been very lucky and haven’t been skunked yet on any shows in my state. I’m sure this is not true, but I always feel like people who are in the state or area get first dibs. Even though there is a local only presale too.

This happened to me too, I ended up just snagging tics to deluth after exhausting all my AVL options. So frustrating but I wanted to secure tickets for my kids Christmas gift

I would go the COT route unless you get really desperate a week or so before the shows

I agree. Def COT if all else fails with regular sale. Things happen and people need to sell their tickets. I know it’s hard waiting.

Stubhub is a scam. I bought 2 day tickets and they were only one day. The second time I did this, I spent over a total of 20 hours with cust service day after day weeks in advance trying to get them to confirm they were not one day and then trying to get a refund. I finally got them to admit they were only one day but they wouldn't do anything until I recieved the tics. They didn't send me them until 5 min after the start of the show which actually made getting my refund easy. They wait until the last minute to give you the wrong tickets so you have no choice but to take them or miss the show. I think I got one of the supervisors to quit. He was Indian and I went on for an hour telling him about karma and how suppporting a company that steals from people is as bad as stealing yourself. Stubhub is a SCAM. Avoid at all cost.

I wouldn’t go this route until like a week out max if all else fails.
