Knock Stubhub all you want. I used them to buy Red Sox-Tigers ticket for their Thursday day game. I got a ticket in the bleachers. There was nobody selling tickets outside. I had no intention of coming up from New Jersey without a ticket. Tickets we so scarce that the people behind me paid almost what I paid from a scalper. They bought the tickets after the second inning. That's right. The scalper was asking $120 a ticket after the game started. He finally sold them for $70 a piece. Stubhub's office is located a block from the park. I hate their commision and charges but what are you gonna do.
If you want tickets at the last minute Ebay is a waste of time.

You trust the guys outside of stadiums with tickets? Im going to give you and everyone else a heads up from now on if you buy tickets from someone outside of the event your going to. Make sure you make him walk to the gate with you and make sure the person your with stands besides him and doesn't let him takeoff running. Once you get in its all good. But if there fake your friend is still with him and you can get a refund.
And I'm suppose to go to Fenway and look around for a guy wearing a green T-shirt on Landsdowne St to pick up my ticket. In order to do a last minute transaction it requires for both parties to meet. I can walk up to the Stubhub office or hope that someone can fight through the traffic to give me the ticket.
I've used Stub Hub for numerous events over the past several years, both sporting events and concerts. Every time things have gone absolutely perfect. I would recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to take the chance of getting ripped off by scalpers outside the venue or via Craigslist, and to anyone who is traveling a long distance for the event. They also have the largest selection of anywhere.
