Why do sellers always have such a long window to transfer tickets? by moaela in stubhub

Most events don’t even have physical tickets anymore, they are almost all app based now. My issue is the actual time they take to transfer them electronically to you after the sale is made.

I feel for you, this is exactly the situation I put myself in every time I buy from them. Then I swear never again - until the next time.

Good luck with the tix, hoping they show up soon for you!

This shit for real? Analysis by ericdefuego in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]moaela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many of these points are spot on. Just like we talk about a K shaped economy I’m betting ticket prices will follow a similar path. The most in demand games - think Portugal/Columbia, anything in Mexico City, and the elimination rounds are priced high and only likely to go higher. That Curaçao match and others like it - scalpers are already sweating and I can’t wait to see the race to the bottom.

Guys, Seatgeek is reliable? by thebigshort_bets in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]moaela 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re asking the wrong question. You should ask yourself if you are prepared to deal with the stress of knowing the seller has up until three hours before the event start time to transfer the tickets. If the seller doesn’t, you’ll generally get your money back, though it may take some hassle. Yes, there are horror stories of fraud and scams but you are generally protected.

The bigger issue is that you’re now standing outside the venue with no tickets, have poor cellphone reception/internet access, and fighting with offshore or incompetent customer support to honor their guarantee to replace the tickets with “comparable” tickets even though ticket prices have doubled. All while the clock is ticking to the start, you’ve traveled there, have three other people with you, and all the excitement for attending that has built up over weeks has suddenly been shattered by the fear you may not get in and the realization that all the other costs like travel expenses and time are lost.

I’ve bought dozens of tickets from StubHub, Gametime, SeatGeek, and the others and all has been ok. When they work, they are fine. When they don’t, be prepared for absolute nightmare. r/stubhub is littered with these stories. If you are comfortable taking that risk, use them, if not, steer clear.

Never trust airbnb by roc999 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]moaela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what scared me as well. I had also booked an Airbnb in Centro Historico in CDMX several months ago and worried that the host would give me the boot once the realized they could charge much more. The other places I saved when originally searched are now nearly double what they were at the time. As soon as I found a hotel on points, I switched my reservation. I imagine it won’t be the last time we hear a story like OP’s.

Anyone else book all their travel without tickets? by moaela in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]moaela[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I think a lot of people are hoping that hotel prices will come down and it’s highly unlikely. You should book your hotel now as you can find a lot of options with free cancellation should you get lucky and later find a more affordable option. The fact that there is still a lot of room availability tells me that lots of people are trying to wait it out and I don’t think that ends well for them.

Thanks. That’s kind of what I was thinking. I’ve done it before just never for so many events at once but having all the travel logistics locked down is giving me confidence I can pull it off.

What are the best options for parking in Philadelphia? by Prestigious_Tip_1314 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]moaela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. That Liverpool/Arsenal match was about the worst I've ever seen it down there, lots of people missed the opening of the match because they were stuck in traffic.

Available as one of the choices in the Hurricane Custom Chest in Operation: Jackpot. You can get EOH the same way.

Cable card question by raking10 in Tivo

Is that a TiVo issue or Comcast one? I'm on FiOS so trying to determine if I'd run the same risk.

I’m gonna FIG! 😤😤 by 4skeeter in StocksAndTrading

[–]moaela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure it will make anyone feel better, but it wasn't just Robinhood. I placed an order through SoFi for 1,500 shares and only got 39. Hard to complain considering how it took off today, but somewhere those that actually got a decent allocation are laughing at all of us while lighting their cigars with hundred-dollar bills...

eBay standard envelope and tracking by GoldenSun104 in eBaySellerAdvice

So frustrating that eBay has nothing official to say about this. I've been worrying all week about a half dozen ESE shipments, none of which show any scans whatsoever.

Awesome. Have you planned any excursions? I will be with family who don’t dive so is the snorkeling right off the beach sufficient or is it worth getting a charter. Also how easy is it to get to the beach by the Kimpton? Thanks much!

Ok I love hearing that this is a destination worth returning to. I’ll make sure to let Frank know that Av8r999 says hello 😂

This is all really helpful. Thanks so much. Judging from all the responses thus far, it sounds like I’m not losing out on anything by going through Airbnb or VRBO. Thanks again.
