    Bullshit. If you were being honest you would admit you called him a gangbanger because he's black.

    Read the comments to your video. Good company you pick.

    Even though he already paid for them and money was transferred? Seems like a sale to me and reneging on sending them is breach of contract or at least an implied contract. But I ain't no lawboy.

    What? Screw contracts, agreements and honor. The world is much better without them!

    StubHub honored contractual agreement the buyer should have read all of the fine print before purchasing from StubHub.

    Oh Jesus. Doesn't mean it isnt a shitty practice and one that needs to be exposed. And I was responding to legallyillegal's contention that if you don't have physical possession of something, an agreement shouldn't protect you from it being seized.

    If you bought stock but didn't have the certificate in your hand and the seller reneged weeks later because it went up and the brokerage company told you you should have read the fine print, you'd be livid. Or if you are in escrow on a house and the escrow company, who is supposed to be an unbiased intermediary between two parties buries an instruction that despite performing all the terms of your P&S the seller can renege at any time if home values go up, again you'd be livid. In both cases, the middle man injects a purposefully buried term that favors one party over the other in order to continue to secure supply.

    Of course it's a shitty practice.

    StubHub needs to change their terms to "All sales are final."

    If they weren't dicks. As it is, they make money the way things are. So why would they change unless they were forced to. I am sensing the need for an angry mob with torches and pitchforks.

    If the other scalper middle men don't protect the buyer, then StubHub stands losing their sellers to the competition. The whole legal scalping, ticket hoarding bullshit needs to end. My wife recently tried to get Adele tickets in NYC. 5 minutes after they went up for sale, all she could find was $500 nosebleed seats. If you look at any popular band, you need to be a member of their fan club just to have a shot at getting good seats. Even then, they are gone in a flash. I have all but given up on trying to go to certain shows. It is just infuriating.

    I think you are confusing free market with flea market.

    What I find so crazy about this is that the artist / venue doesn't up their prices. Why would you price tickets such that they sell out in minutes, then get resold at 2 - 5 times face value?
