-GoBengals- Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 as popular and publicized as stubhub is, i figured it was a smoother running operation. but the process seems kinda iffy to say the least, i made my first purchase today around 5-6pm. I got some great seats for the jets game this weekend, and was pretty excited, and then got to the confirmation screen with the details of the transaction. so i buy the tickets, and an email gets sent to the actual seller, who i have no access to, the seller then has 48 hours to confirm the order, as in if they still even have the tickets, etc. then they are shipped from the seller to me via whatever method i chose, i assume stubhub emails them a shipping label and they send from there at no cost to them. ... now 48 hours from today, would be around 6pm on wednesday evening.. which would make a purchase form stubhub again impossible and any ebay shipping deal rather "risky" so it leaves in person pickup, which is tough as well since i live several states away... so anyway.. just curious if anyone has done anything via stub hub, selling or buying and how the process went for you... if all goes well ill be 5th row 40 yardline behind the bengals bench...

It's basically wait for someone to buy and then give you everything to put into the mail. When you sell you are given straight forward instructions not to include any other items in the package, you better have the tickets or comparables or they'll beat you down or something like that. A few days later the money shows in the mail or in your account. Pretty smooth process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Dey Time Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I used StubHub for the Titans game in 05, the Bills game last year, and the Ravens this season. Never once had a problem. My only concern would be the timing. Since Im a little OCD I always buy tickets a few weeks before the game but I think you'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have also used Stub Hub multiple times and never had a problem. You can still buy tickets from them less than 48 hours in advance, so I assume that they will be able to find replacements for you less than 48 hours in advance if that became necessary. Basically, you order the tickets and then pick them up at a nearby hotel or office on the day of the game (in Cincinnati, it was a convention room at the Hyatt, I think). At least, that's how it worked for me last year in Cincinnati - I assume it would also work that way in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDeyMatt Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 GO, I used a place called [url="http://www.premiumtickets.net/"]http://www.premiumtickets.net/[/url] They are actually based out of Cincinnati and you can go down to their office. The guys were really easy to deal with and the prioces were reasonable. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillybengal Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've used Stubhub a few times to buy and never had a problem. I'm trying to sell right now, but no one is buying. Two tix to the Jags game. I can't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be hard-pressed to buy tickets in Cincy much less out of town.[/quote] its not all that pricy, and honestly this site is now paying for all of it.... (the new advertising programs are good to me, i would be buying a lexus if we were having a winning season right now) and i love to travel and i love football in general, i always find good deals too, my plane ticket is $150 round trip to newark, and ill stay in secauscus just outside the meadowlands, spend like $175 on hotel for two nights, and tickets ended up being $190 all fees and shipping included.. so $515 + food, for a 3 day 2 night trip to NY with tickets to game, etc.. not bad really.. tho ill drop like $150 on food in NYC im sure. and thats roughly what ill make a month on the ads here, $500-ish,. so 1 road trip a month is paid for, and offseason pays for season tickets and server costs. so i break even in the end. traffic is about 40% of what it is when we are winning.. the draft weekend, in two days i made $300, traffic was INSANE.... anyway.. losing sucks, but travling is great, and seeing future HOF players all over the country play is fun too, the bengals winning would be the icing on the cake... i went to EVERY game in 2005, lots of traveling and LOTS of winning. had a blast... met a bunch of people from here as well.

I just went to the Dallas game, flew from Montana to Dallas got tickets 40 yard line 11 row back and had the time of my life! So we lost, I'm still a fan, and I would go watch them next week if I could. Also I was amazed at the the turn out of Bengal fans it was impressive to say the least there was orange jerseys everywhere and WHO DEY was shouted MANY times.It really made me proud of our fan base that we can have a down year and still travel like we did.If your saying your waiting for them to be good to spend your cash good luck to ya but your missing a good time.If I'm a fan, I'm a fan win or lose I will cheer like hell every game and attend every game I can, win or lose its about being a fan IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
