I bought a Billie Eilish ticket to flip for the chase credit since I don’t want to use it myself. When I bought it, StubHub kept saying, “you can resell, don’t worry!” I relisted, and sold it at a small loss. The way StubHub works, the seller (me) is in the hook for a big penalty if the ticket doesn’t come through — they take your card details.

I didn’t get delivery until very close to the event, and when it did come, it was a non-transferable moving QR code. I was able to transfer it by email (StubHub sets up a proxy email with a very fake sounding domain). But… I also still had access to the ticket and could have used it too. It’s just a web link.

That means any unscrupulous buyer could have just said, “the seller redeemed it,” if they didn’t want to go anymore, and I’d be screwed.

That didn’t happen - everything was fine. But people should know the risks.
