We bought Red Sox playoff tix last year, and paid ridiculously high "service fees". They claim guaranteed shipment by event time and we received them the DAY OF the event (despite ordering them 6 days prior).

I don't understand how it's illegal to sell tix at any or X amount above face value (ie. scalping), yet these brokers buy blocks of tix and resell them at double the original cost.

I've bought tickets through Stubhub. I usually just look at the regular ebay listings though. I've found it a lot easier to buy through ebay so I now avoid Stubhub. That's just me though. I'm sure your tickets will be fine listed on SH.

Good luck!

i bought from them once, nothing too horrible, they just didn't really impress me at all and seemed kind of pricey.

Selling tickets on there, I don't know. You'll probably get something for them though.

The service fees should be illegal. It is illegal for a season ticket holder to charge more than a certain percentage over the face value in most areas. The ticket agensies should have the same laws but they don't.


Doesn't the NFL have a deal with one of the online ticket agencies to legally scalp?
