Is StubHub legit? Here's why we trust the site for buying and reselling tickets
StubHub is one of the most popular ticket resale sites for online shoppers, making it a household name alongside Ticketmaster and Live Nation. In the age where scams lurk behind every corner, it's scary to trust any site with something like your money or a once-in-a-lifetime event. With that in mind, I dove deeper into StubHub's guarantees and conditions to explain why so many eventgoers, like myself, trust the platform. For those who haven't used or heard of it before, StubHub is a website marketplace that allows fans of sporting events, musicians, comedians, and other live acts to buy and sell tickets to each other in a regulated space. It services more than just the US, too, offering seats to coveted performances in countries around the world. Keep reading to learn more about StubHub's protections for both buyers and sellers. Is StubHub legit? In short, StubHub is a trustworthy place to buy and sell tickets for major events. Although the company itself is not the seller, it still offers safeguards for both parties in a sale to prevent any potential scams from occurring. It does mean, however, that StubHub does not control the pricing for event tickets — these are set by the users selling them. The site will instead recommend price points for sellers during the listing process. StubHub gives a 100% guarantee to every order under its exclusive FanProtect Guarantee, which I've broken down below. Tabitha Fireman/ Getty Images How StubHub protects ticket buyers Ticket buying from a reseller is sometimes the only option for sold-out and high-demand shows. StubHub is a great place to find tickets, especially with its FanProtect Guarantee to cover orders. Here's what it promises for buyers: Tickets will be delivered in time for the event. The ticket will be valid for the event. Issues will be resolved with comparable or better tickets or a refund. Event cancellations that aren't rescheduled can be reimbursed with a 120% StubHub credit or a full refund. For even more information, you can check out StubHub's buyer terms and conditions. How StubHub protects ticket sellers Whether you've changed your mind or need to cancel a scheduled event, StubHub is a simple platform for ticket sellers. Listing is quick and easy, and pricing research isn't necessary with the site's recommendations. It also protects its sellers just as well as its buyers under the same FanProtect Guarantee. StubHub's main promise is on-time payment for tickets sold. The full seller terms and conditions explain this more thoroughly. What about StubHub fees? Of course, such protections don't come without a price. StubHub, like every other third-party, charges fees for both fans and sellers. For the latter, you don't pay anything until your tickets sell. Percentages aren't set in stone; they can differ based on ticket prices, event dates, supply, and demand. Only two costs are added to purchases: a service fee and a fulfillment fee. These can be viewed before, during, and after checkout — here's how: Before checkout: Click on the event page filters and change "Price Display Options" to "Include estimated fees." During checkout: The entire cost is broken down on the "Review and buy" page, underneath "Your order summary." After checkout: Check your order receipt to see the fee breakdown at the bottom. Head on over to StubHub to browse the latest ticket prices for concerts, live sports, comedy shows, and more. Browse all of our ticket coverage here.

Racine Theatre Guild warns ticket resellers hike up prices
The Brief The Racine Theatre Guild is warning its audience against overpaying for tickets. Tickets to its performance of "Legally Blonde: The Musical" are available on StubHub for $635 a seat. The Racine Theatre Guild's top ticket price is $22. Contact 6 found other ticket reselling websites listing tickets for $119, $69 and $71. RACINE, Wis. - Tickets are available online for hundreds of dollars. Not for Beyonce's global tour, but for the Racine Theatre Guild's upcoming show. With just weeks until opening night, the theater is warning its audience not to overpay for tickets. Local perspective The Racine Theatre Guild, a local nonprofit, knows how to pinch pennies. The people who build the theater's sets are volunteers. Its set pieces have been on stage before, just under a different coat of paint. Its costumes come from thrift stores or the costume stock at Union Grove High School. About 400 people volunteer at the theater every year. It's all part of the theater's commitment to keeping its ticket prices affordable.

"We want people to feel like this is a place they can come. They can afford to come here. They can bring the whole family." By the numbers The Racine Theatre Guild's top ticket price is $22. However, Fish was shocked to learn that tickets for its upcoming performance of "Legally Blonde: The Musical" are available on StubHub for $635 a seat. "That's astronomically expensive," said Fish. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News Contact 6 found tickets for the same Legally Blonde shows on other ticket reselling platforms, too, listed for $119, $69 and $71. Tickets are still available through the Racine Theatre Guild's website for a fraction of the cost. "None of it is illegal," said Fish. "It is all totally valid and these people can just price gouge and swindle people out of their money," said Fish. The other side StubHub doesn't control the prices on its website. Its users can list whatever price they choose when reselling tickets. That doesn't mean someone will actually buy them. A StubHub spokesperson told Contact 6: "StubHub is a trusted resale platform where fans can buy and sell tickets safely and securely, with every purchase backed by our FanProtect Guarantee." What they're saying Alex Milovic, an associate professor in Marquette University's marketing department, said it's up to the ticket buyer to shop around. "There are laws around scalping tickets on premises, things around having to show the face value of your ticket. Otherwise, it really is, kind of, you're on your own," said Milovic. "It's really up to the consumer to say, 'How much is too much?'" Dig deeper The Racine Theatre Guild told Contact 6 this is an ongoing program. Recently, it became aware of four people who spent more than $100 a seat to see its Christmas show. "There's no way for me to report (the prices) as fraudulent," said Fish. "There's no way for me to have them take it down." Fish asked StubHub customer service to remove the "Legally Blonde" tickets. It didn't. "It's really on us to try and educate the public," said Fish. "We want to protect our patrons." Contact 6 didn't hear back from the other ticket reselling websites with prices listed well-above $22. What you can do To avoid being overcharged on any ticket, go to a venue's website first. Buying directly from a venue can also save you dozens, even hundreds of dollars in extra fees. The Source Information for this report comes from Joycelyn Fish, Alex Milovic and Contact 6 research into online ticket resellers.
