These Stubhub fees are insane. A $7 ticket is costing me $6 in fees.

I know, I know. Same old problem with Ticketmaster. There has got to be some sensible middle ground, such as no more than 20% of the ticket price? Gee whiz.

Do their associated costs go down because you purchased a cheap ticket?

I got a midweek Caps game for $7.95 a piece. I bought 14 of them for friends. I'm getting charged $6 a piece in fees. It's just absurd.

Call the event ticket sales personnel directly and get the tickets that way.

I'm sure they either have a flat fee or a minimum fee. Would you be bitching if you bought a $1 ticket and they charged you 50 cents for the fee? I mean, that is half the price of the ticket, which would be absurd if you bought a $60 ticket and they charged you a $30 fee.

I'm looking at World Series tickets and it is $207 in fees for a $840 ticket. How does it cost that much? 4 tickets is $828 in fees? Same thing, fair market value. Still absurd.

dude it gets worse than that for premium games.


why would anyone buy from stubhub???? tickpick and seatgeek have the same seats w/no fees for buyer.


stubhub sold their soul, to become official ticket partner of the sports leagues. now they are forced to stick it up buyers arse. A buyer should never be stuck with per ticket fees. this isnt ticketmaster.

One of the main reasons I don't go to concerts is because of Ticketmaster. Just come out and say it's an $80 ticket. Not a $58 seat with $12 in fees.

i knew when they tried to hoard all the pro leagues for 2ndary tickets, they would stick it to the buyers.

Fandago charges $2.50 in fees on a $5 theater ticket.

It's like people learned from Ticketmaster and made it worse.

You get what you pay for with Tickpick. Awful site with really bad reviews from customers.
