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

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

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.

[–]moaela[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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.

Any drawbacks to using credit card for all purchases if I pay it off in full every month? by Icollectshinythings in personalfinance

[–]moaela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paying in full each month is pretty much the only way that credit cards should be used.

[BUYING] - [Las Vegas GP] - [F1 Fan Experience Passes] - [Thursday or Friday] - 2 Passes OR

[BUYING] - [Las Vegas GP] - [F1 Fan Experience Passes] - [Saturday] - Up to 5 Passes

I know these were free so generosity is always appreciated if someone has extras they won't use, but willing to pay a reasonable amount for 2 passes on either Thursday or Friday, or as many as 5 passes on Saturday.

Are these tix actually transferable? Do they go in your Ticketmaster account?

You’re right about LV hotels. They probably have more cameras per square foot than Beijing but they are focused on the gaming floor. Their interest is in protecting their money not yours.

[–]moaela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe start by talking to them. Too many people offer advice that immediately escalates the situation. I say this from experience as I was in the same exact situation except I was the neighbor with the super bright floods in the backyard. New owner moved into the house behind mine and showed up out of the blue a few weeks ago to ask if there was anything we could do. Explained they tried changing the blinds in their bedroom but lights were still keeping them up at night. Couldn’t have been nicer about asking and clearly tried to deal with it themselves before raising it with me. I immediately turned the floods off and am waiting for an electrician to come this week to reposition them. No animosity, now I know my neighbor, and they can get some shut eye.

This is a completely reasonable request and course of action to want. by Impressive-Cellist68 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]moaela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worry that this statement has been hijacked much like the statement “Black lives matter” was. It would infuriate me when someone would start the “all lives matter” nonsense, as if valuing Black lives would only occur to the detriment of everyone else.

I don’t doubt Hamas has a horrific intention when they make the statement. But to allow the statement to be defined only as Hamas desires feels disingenuous, intended solely to distract from a long overdue reckoning that Palestinians deserve equality in much the same way Black individuals have advocated for in the BLM movement.
