Basics
StubHub is a very popular ticket resource, one that specifically deals with second-hand sales. The seller decides upon the price point, and not the list price (though, it can be that low or lower).
StubHub covers only North America, specifically the United States and Canada. This is not a global ticket resource.
Scope of tickets
The scope of tickets is quite impressive. NFL tickets, MLB tickets, NBA tickets, and all of the major professional sports in North America are covered, along with other sports and collegiate events. Concerts are also covered at StubHub. Theatre, including comedy and Broadway, is sold at the website as well.
Basic features
StubHub offers a number of basic features, such as the ability to receive updates on certain artists/teams/etc. You can also download the iPhone app and more, in order to stay connected with the ticket resource.
Using StubHub
StubHub is rather simple to use, if you wish to purchase tickets.
Navigating to the event
First, navigate to the event that you wish to purchase tickets for, in order to see what is available. You will normally see a seating chart, along with tickets.
You would do well to take advantage of the filters available, such as to narrow down your price point and preferred seating area.
Purchasing the tickets
You can then purchase the desired tickets. Keep in mind that the fees are added to the purchase price. You can also look at delivery options, from air delivery to printing your tickets at home, if available.
Guarantee
It is important to note that StubHub offers a guarantee and carefully watches over its sellers (other users), in order to ensure the quality of the service.
Of course, you can register as a seller and put tickets that you have purchased up for sale.
Final note
StubHub overall is useful for buying tickets. For hard-to-find tickets and getting a better deal on the list price alike (such as season ticket holders who can't make the event), it is worth checking out. Remember StubHub if you need to buy or sell tickets for events in the U.S. and Canada.
