Has anyone bought gig tickets from the original buyer via Stubhub?

[HolidaySpirit]

Currently on holiday and there are lots of Taylor Swift tickets available at what seem to be really good prices compared to the UK dates. I've never used Stubhub before and while it seems the seller has to change the buyers name on the tickets I'm not sure if there's scope for a scam/general bother for a gig which is in just a few days. Thanks in advance

Hopeful bump!

I've bought tickets through stubhub in the past with no issue. Bought a TS ticket through viagogo ( concert coming up) and tickets have been sent and name changed (just waiting on QR code going live). Viagogo were very responsive when I had questions. Both stubhub and viagogo are one of the same company and do thorough checks of sellers with a buyers guarantee. I'm sure there instances of scams though I'm not sure how that happens.

Yes. I don't recommend as if something goes wrong it's impossible to contact/ get any response. I had tickets for a pre covid gig that was postponed twice and told to keep the original tickets and they would still be valid. This was incorrect - the tickets had been reissued but as I wasn't the original purchaser I had no idea. Refused entry at the gig. Stubhub did not respond to any calls or emails and in the end I had to go through section 75 on my credit card for a refund.

Thanks both, really helpful
