Beat the ticket touts at StubHub.co.uk
It's one of life's most irritating grievances, when you really want to go see your favourite band on tour, but by the time your wages have come in all of the tickets have sold out! Or, when you have managed to pick up some tickets, but for some reason you can't make it. However, with the rise and dominance of so-called ticket touts buying up highly sought after tickets and selling them on at extortionate prices, many venues are attempting to clamp down and thus making it more difficult for legitimate re-sales to take place.
Part of popular online shopping company; eBay, StubHub is 'the world's largest ticket marketplace' which offers all of the latest tickets to music, sporting and theatre events, allowing genuine fans to sell and purchase tickets to all of the latest matches, concerts and shows without the underlying fear of being ripped off.
StubHub.co.uk has a great many benefits for both buyers and sellers of tickets. Sellers, for example, are able to list tickets for free. They can also determine how much they charge for their tickets, and the amount promised will always be the amount that they receive should/when their tickets sell. Buyers, are guaranteed that they will receive their tickets in time for the performance and if their tickets do not arrive on time, replacement tickets will be provided whenever possible. However, if replacements are not possible, a full refund will always be offered.
One of the great aspects of using StubHub, over purchasing tickets directly, is that whilst most venues and their associated websites and companies may charge you - an often very hefty - booking fee for their services, when you purchase tickets through StubHub there are absolutely no booking fees. All that you will ever pay, is the price that is being asked for (the price of the ticket), and any delivery charges. As a result, whilst still paying for tickets at the full face value, StubHub will save you money. Some users have saved over £10 in booking fees. If you are looking to buy tickets to a specific gig or show, then you can easily set up 'Price Alerts', that will tell you when tickets become available.
Using this system, StubHub allow you to request exactly what types of tickets you are informed about, including the number of tickets and a maximum amount that you would be willing to pay. Alerts can also be set up to tell you either when the event is listed (even if the tickets are not yet available allowing you to prepare for purchasing), or when the tickets are made available. Recent and current popular music sales have included: Pink tickets, Mumford and Sons, Nicki Minaj, Muse and the Killers. Popular comedy and theatre tickets have included: Joan Rivers, Michael McIntyre and Andre Rieu.
Sporting events that have been popular include: Everton, WWE and Six Nations Rugby. Buying and selling tickets does not need to be a painful chore, and StubHub are here to help bring fans together ensuring that only genuine fans get their hands on the tickets to all of the hottest shows available right now.
