Large corporations are usually better at hiding this stuff - StubHub

**Art Shirk** · 01-08-2016, 03:06 PM

DD is going to have a field day with this one. These guys are usually less blatant about ramming people in the shit-winker. On my personal scale of importance, Kobe's retirement weighs in somewhere between donating my hard-earned money to the British Lawnmower Museum and stubbing my toe on a linoleum scraper, but I feel for this guy.

Wow they knew they were fucking him over since they started throwing 100 dollar coupons at him.

Stubhub doesn't own the tickets the seller does. Sounds to me like Stubhub's hand were tied since they rely on the seller to send the actual tickets.

**fatnslow** · 01-08-2016, 03:32 PM

I think there is little stubhub can do here since they are technically only brokers. It's be like ebay being responsible for douch bags that cancel transactions or TGR being responsible for crappy sellers on gear trade. I'm not saying this is right but it's the way it is.

**KenJongIll** · 01-08-2016, 03:33 PM

Did StubHub really fuck him over? StubHub is merely a venue for others to buy and sell tickets. If the ticket owners decide to not send the tickets, not much SH can do but implement their policy of a 20% penalty.

**Soups** · 01-08-2016, 03:36 PM

Haven't read anything on this but if they were a private sellers tickets then I doubt they could do much. I dont know though. However....

Bullshit StubHub is "only" a "broker", being owned by Ticketbastard and all.

You may want to rethink that, I've heard pretty good things about the British lawnmower museum.

In the interest of creating a more marketable environment for seller's, StubHub has created and enforces a policy that allows this sort of bullshit. Sure, the ability to renege is probably buried in the T&C's but its simply a shitty practice. Of course the sellers are dicks as well, but Stubhub is complicit IMO.

**Brock Landers** · 01-08-2016, 03:53 PM

Looks like tickets for less got him 4 tix...good deal by them

We had the Boston Maggot Fenway day during Jeter's last game. Fuck the Yankees

**Bromontana** · 01-08-2016, 03:55 PM

Having tix disappear +18days after a transaction is sketch, also likely the seller is reselling same tix on the same site... hopefully seller gets a bag of DICKS for christmas 2016.

C'mon, the subprime mortgage guys had to have something to do.

StubHub's such a sham. It's basically a venue for legal scalping. Ever been to a "sold out" events that weren't nearly full? Happens all the time. The scalpers scoop up all the tickets and sell them at inflated rates. And we all know it's REALLY bad for truly popular events. Adele tried doing something about it to keep her fans from getting screwed over, but sadly her efforts were pretty much inneffective:

Man, and I used to think Ticketmaster was bad. StubHub was alright when it first came out. I've used it to buy event tickets from people who legitimately couldn't go after all and I'd pay face value or less, but it's gotten really out of hand as the scalpers inevitably overran the stupid thing.

Jesus, how fucking dumb. He's all devotional to a scumbag basketball player like Kobe. Wake up, dork. Kobe would drive over your ass and back up a few times for ten thousand bucks and your momma's ass, with that stupid smile on his face. Get a life. Maybe you should calm down, have a drink, and realize that you and your worship of the gangbanger NBA is the root problem. Think of how that stupid money could be spent so much better than going to watch that guy "play his last game". BFD. What, are you going to be lying on your deathbed and list that as one of your accomplishments? I saw Kobe retire? For fucks sake, professional sports is such an obscene diversion these days.

Surely it's not you that needs to calm down. Kobe is a top 5 all time player in many regards, the fan doesnt want to marry him he wants to watch ball.

Benny never fails to deliver.

**BmillsSkier** · 01-08-2016, 04:31 PM

So Benny, how do you feel about StubHub?

I was actually wondering if AIG was insuring the counterparty who welched

Pretty good. I use them a few times a year. They refunded my money promptly for a rain out in Baltimore this summer.
Now, Kobe and his, and other "farewell tours", and, well, people spending a thousand bucks to see that shit, don't get me started. Wait. I already did...

Edit: the lesson here is to use Seatgeek, and make sure the actual tickets are in your possession from the individual/broker ASAP. Of course, in the new digital age, that may be impossible soon, but......

**digitaldeath** · 01-08-2016, 07:23 PM

Think about the scalpers. Here in Mpls they have all digital tickets. The scalpers have to walk you in, therefore missing customers. Fans can't get scalped tickets because scalpers are escorting buyers.

Disappointing they are sullying kobes farewell tour

What about the kids!
