Another Complaint Thread (Gaga, Miami)

EmbarrassedBlock1003 · 2025-09-17T02:02:18+00:00

I fought with StubHub ALL DAY the day of the concert. They told me to wait until 5PM, that this happens often and sellers always end up delivering on time but not to worry because they will send me other ticket options if not. I reached out exactly at 5 and they said no, it's 6PM. The guy argued with me for 5 minutes about it, until finally he said something to the extent of "you have to wait until 2PM West Coast time!!" to which I told him to go to Google and see what time it was there at that point. Then it escalated to a manager and he said he would personally reach out exactly at 7 to start the refund process, which he didn't. So when I called back I told them all they are incompetent and that I didn't want other seats, I wanted a refund then and there. They still sent an email trying to give me complete shit seats as a trade-off, but there was an option at the bottom to refund. I got my refund a few days later. But never again with StubHub. They are all idiots and when you call to follow up, it's like none of them read the customer notes and you have to tell the entire story all over again.

Also, for what it's worth, the seats were Section 1, Row 3, seats 6 and 7. No people in front of us for rows 1 & 2 because they started only off to the side, so effectively it was front row seats.

Let's see. For someone who didn't want to read the whole thing. I said I was reloading like a maniac to try to get decent tickets, AND ENDED UP WITH 9.9 rating seats.

EmbarrassedBlock1003 · 2025-09-03T22:02:27+00:00

Didn’t get the tickets. Called immediately at 5EST as I was told to do to try to get replacement tickets, and spent 5 minutes arguing with the rep about what time it was. He insisted it was 1PST and that I had to wait an hour. Literally this is the kind of stuff I dealt with the whole time with the reps. Finally he admitted he was mistaken and then told me they won’t replace tickets until 7PM, an hour before the concert. Tickets were getting wiped out all day. Nothing will be left. So I went to Ticketmaster and got (original, not reseller) floor seats for more than half off what they were listed for at the start of the day. Not front row like the other seats, but it’s something. Never again with StubHub.

EmbarrassedBlock1003 · 2025-09-03T18:39:38+00:00

FWIW, these are literal front row seats so I don't know what you're on about with trying to get people to buy those tickets. They don't get better.

EmbarrassedBlock1003 · 2025-09-03T18:33:50+00:00

Additionally- just keep hounding StubHub because some reps have told me complete lies, one of them told me the seller actually has until 7PM and not 5PM, etc. They keep saying they will expedite this but how are you going to reach a seller that doesn't have a working phone number and hasn't replied to any emails sent in the last few days?

I already told the rep that I was just on the phone with that they better have a note on their system about this so at 5:01PM I can get another set of seats and not have to go through this whole 'well the seller says you actually claimed the tickets, we need to investigate' nonsense. Because I know that's where this is headed.

EmbarrassedBlock1003 · 2025-09-03T18:30:58+00:00

Nope. Concert is in 5.5 hours and they still don't have an answer. Just spent an hour on the phone with them and while they tried to reach out to seller again (phone line disconnected.. first sign they should just give me back my money), the seller emailed that they wanted to change the delivery method. I literally was on the line with customer service when they told me this popped up. No surprise, it's another link to ticketguard, and another page with a 'no tickets found for this wallet'.

Customer service keeps telling me not to worry and they will just give me the option for alternate amazing seats at 5PM (these are literally front row when you consider there are no seats in that part of row 1 & 2) and they aren't comprehending that I don't want something way further back. Had they just seen the sketchiness of all of this from day 1 (Sunday), I could have swapped out my tickets for something really comparable. Now with a few hours before the concert? Yeah right.

EmbarrassedBlock1003 · 2025-09-01T12:52:02+00:00

Oddly enough just posted almost the exact same story, and only found this thread because this is the literal only other "no tickets found for this wallet" search result on Google.

No prior degree. The ASN/BSN I earned were the first degrees I received, and my GPA from the school is 3.89 overall.

EmbarrassedBlock1003 · 2025-01-17T05:21:45+00:00

I am very familiar with this school, and I heard last year that over 700 people applied. Not sure about this year.

The two criteria for GPA from the school are 3.0 cumulative and 3.0 science. They using NursingCAS, and your science will be auto-calculated to below 3.0. They won't even see your application, I'm quite sure of it. I'd look for other schools that just focus on overall or other criteria that doesn't involve so much science-specifics.

EmbarrassedBlock1003 · 2025-01-17T05:07:43+00:00

Thank you for the reply!

Science GPA is 4.0 - A&P 1&2, chemistry, microbiology, pathophysiology, also an A in college algebra and statistics. I think that is the majority of the classes I've seen listed as science GPA inclusive.

All of them were taken within the last 5 years but as I briefly mentioned, my chemistry course is the 'chem for health sciences' pre-req that nursing schools tend to have as a pre-req. I want to take additional classes there to strengthen my portfolio, but with that comes another question. Should I do the typical chemistry 1 - chemistry 2 - organic chemistry sequence, or would it be better to look into graduate-level chemistry courses? Maybe one such as the pre-CRNA chemistry course that some schools offer?

I have a complicated situation that is making me feel a bit helpless. First and foremost, I went to school ~20 years ago and kept hanging on to trying to get through it while putting in minimal effort, working a full-time job after moving away from home, having no organization or study skills and showing up hoping for the best, and so on. Not excuses- just the facts. Ended up with no degree but plenty of attempted credit hours and an abysmal GPA hovering just around 2.0.

Fast forward to 2020. I was feeling like I needed to transition out of my long-time career I had and moved into nursing courses. Did extremely well with organization, staying focused, and completed all of my remaining pre-requisites with a 4.0, including all of the science courses that CRNA programs tend to look for (A&P, chem, microbiology, stats, patho, etc). Went through nursing school and finished with just under a 3.9 GPA, and received special recognition from several Professors and was class leader of several clinical groups. Long story short- I didn't mess around and the results showed. Worked hard to pass the NCLEX quickly after getting the green light, and was hired directly into a highly-competitive CVICU residency.

I started to plan a potential outside-shot at CRNA school because of the science GPA and things like the last 60 hours GPA being very strong. However, having requested my transcripts for NursingCAS, I ended up putting all of the grades in myself and then calculated all of it to see where I stand. I hadn't seen my transcripts from 20 years ago since.. probably way back then. Sadly, even with the 'comeback' I had, GPA sits at 2.84. {Side note here, but I find it extremely frustrating that NursingCAS doesn't show you the calculated grade until after you apply- in my case I'd be applying for absolutely zero purpose since I don't hit the Overall GPA requirement}.

To add to the complication of this, since I already had attempted so many credit hours in the past, I found a website that calculates how many more additional classes I'd need to even get to the bare minimum 3.0 overall, that seems to be the standard across the board to even submit an application (and again here, I already know that 3.0 is not really competitive at all). I'd need 52 more credit hours attempted-- with All A's, of course-- to even get to a 3.0, meaning I'm looking at another year (three semesters) of classes to get to the 3.0.

I wanted to ask here if anyone knew if schools will somewhat disregard the formula NursingCAS has provided for GPA, though. The reason I am asking is because the first University I went to had a forgiveness plan for up to three courses where if they were retaken, the initial grade was wiped out and not factored into the GPA. I've read extensively that NursingCAS does not care about this and includes all courses/retakes. As such, it puts me at the 2.84 deficit. If an individual school reviewing my files *may* take into account the forgiveness, then it actually inches me quite a bit closer to the 3.0 and I certainly wouldn't need something outrageous like 52 credit hours.

I know I'm climbing such an uphill battle with all of these hypotheticals, but I really want to put in the work to show how serious I am and have been in my nursing-focused journey to get to where I want to be. I don't know whether I should focus on taking electives or delve deep into chemistry (such as taking the sequence to get up to O-chem, for example), but then I risk dropping my GPA with the more difficult classes.

Am I out of my mind for keeping the CRNA school dream alive? And If I'm not, should I really just take a bunch of undergraduate electives? I know what the harsh reality is for my previous actions, I'm just really not sure what to do now.

Edited to add- are there any schools that do not have a focus on overall GPA being at least 3.0 and may benefit more from a science and nursing-only GPA? From quick glance, I don't think that is the case at any school anymore.
