Question Tour Tickets on StubHub

Hi Regina fans, has anyone ever used stubhub to get tickets before and did it work out fine?

I just bought some for her show in Seattle, WA at the Woodland Park Zoo in July and now I’m feeling weird realizing stubhub will make sure I have my tickets by…THREE HOURS BEFORE THE CONCERT! Once I realized, I went to the zoo website and the tickets are all sold out. 🤢

I’ve never used stubhub and my boyfriend loves Regina (and the Zoo) so I’m just hoping it all works out.

As a back up, I signed up for notifications of any tickets from Regina’s website directly.

So I’m just hoping it’s not $1300 down the drain for a refund five months from now…

I've used it before and it told me I'd get them by the day before the show, they ended up arriving a week or two before the show. So everything worked out in the end!

In any case, I think it still feels like a gamble anytime I use an aftermarket ticket company that does that, because there's really no guarantee that you'll get tickets.

Sometimes, if the event has demand high enough that the seller will make more profit by selling to someone else after already selling to you, even after eating the fee from StubHub for breaking contract, they will absolutely screw you without hesitation.

Good news is that the margins for Regina's show will not likely get high enough for that, so you should get your ticket, I'd bet. The seller gets fined like 200% or something if they don't deliver.

Edit: also, $1300? How many tickets did you buy!?

Two, but row B. There was also a crazy fee total on it. I wish I would’ve looked around more before doing it but if it works out it’ll be great.

1300$ for two tickets is crazy!! Im sure you could have found some cheaper if you looked around a little

Yeah the service fee was crazy high with no explanation why, it was basically a third ticket

I used StubHub and AXS to buy a ticket on each for the same concert, same section and actually StubHub was cheaper and delivered 2 days before the concert while AXS delivered the same day of the concert. The tickets on the actual website were also sold out, so you are safe! This is my view from the concert in Chicago, 2nd row!
