StubHub legit?

[newton-stewart-blues]

Taking our wee fella to his first Goodison Park experience for the Huddersfield game and was waiting for general sale on Thursday however I noticed tickets are available on StubHub.

Is StubHub legit? It says "collection at venue" so are these tickets, I assume ST holders, that people have already said they're not making it for?

StubHub is appealing because I can hopefully get him a seat where he has a good view (not back row in the Gwladys St which is what we'll get on evertonfc.com).

Advice appreciated. Cheers.

Legit, but sometimes very expensive.

Just a bit of advice on how it works too.

Basically the season ticket holder invalidates the use of their season ticket card for that game, and instead the buyer collects the ticket manually from the ground and assumes ownership of the ticket for that game instead of the season ticket holder.

It works really well - really safe system, no need to borrow season tickets by post or whatever. You don't have to worry at all about using it.

Does it matter if a 7-year old takes a Junior (11-17) ticket?

Very much doubt it; there's only a problem with someone older trying to get in on a younger, cheaper ticket, not the other way around.

Someone else can perhaps clarify for certain but I'd be astonished if that was a problem.

I imagine it'll be fine - it'll make a change someone buying for the age band above rather than Everton away tickets being 90% under-16s

Yeah but lots of fraud on there

Nice one.

Looking at Family Enclosure 8 / Row J / Seats 213, 214. Far enough back for a decent view, aye? I've sat in row A in the family enclosure before and even I couldn't see the other side of the pitch.

Used it recently for the Burnley game at home. What a terrible decision that was! Is legit though.

Oh ffs. Explain...last thing I need, on his birthday, is getting there and there are no tickets. Would break his heart.

It's only if you're selling I think mate. Few people use stolen cards to pay there, but if you're buying I think you'll be fine.

I used it recently and actually got a bit of a bargain (despite us being dicked by Arsenal)

A couple of tips I found:
Wait until nearer the game. People seem to drop their prices.

Shop around. Some people are right tits on there charging like £70 for a ticket but most seem ok.

And this one is a boss one. Log in to your account. Get right to check out. Then don’t complete the transaction. I did this and some lad called me up and gave me a 5% discount code.

As for the pick up. Dead easy just get your ticket from the Bullens Road box office. Take ID and that’s that.

Ignore that, everytime you put your tickets up for sale you have to validate them with the account number, postcode and name of the ticket holder. The holder then sets the price and Stubhub list them, it's as safe as houses.

And he'd be fine getting in on an older ticket btw

My lad was away for the derby last season and sold his under 21 ticket on Stubhub, I arrived to be sat next to a 6ft 5 fella in his 40's with a beard lol

I spoke with someone at the club about the scenario you stated (seeing if I can buy a junior ticket for my mrs) and the woman said the ticket could be upgraded at the ground on matchday to an adult ticket. So, I am assuming if you pay the difference, they will upgrade the ticket.
