NFT: StubHub Question

UConn4523 : 8/19/2019 11:24 am
Its been a long time since I've bought tickets and have a quick question on StubHub. I'm getting concert tickets for my wife, to be used by her and a guest (not me). It looks like the tickets will go to my phone but I want to give them to her as a gift. I'm sure there's a simple solution but I don't want to buy without knowing the process.

Help a dumb guy out.
I know on ticket master app

you can send the tickets to other people. I'm sure the stub hub app has the same functionality

Are they PDF tickets

Sent to you via email? If so, just forward the email to your wife.

If they are mobile tickets that can only be accessed via StubHub app you can always just sign in or give your wife your credentials for Stubhub and let her sign in on her phone to access the tickets.

Stubhub might have an easier way to transfer through their app but the above methods should work.
It doesn't give you an option to print?

If not, you can forward the tickets to someone else (which is how the seller is getting them to the buyer).
I believe

It is as simple as them sending you the two tickets electronically with a bar code to be scanned. You in turn take a screen shot of each ticket and send to those that will be using them. Those receiving can simply add to their pictures to be scanned at the venue.

Looks like mobie tickets. Thanks, this should work.
Once you buy the tickets

Each ticket will have a couple options - sell the ticket or transfer the ticket. Obviously in your case just click on transfer the ticket.

Be careful about taking screenshots of the tickets and sending them to someone else as a lot of tickets now use barcodes that change every x amount of time, so the screenshot method wouldn’t work.

plus there are discount codes for first time users (I know that CBS Fantasy Football Today podcast has one, for instance)

good luck

I always shop around on both when I'm looking for tickets. Almost universally, I find better deals on SeatGeek for the same/similar seats.

Do they email tickets or would it be through the app? Figure a lot of people buy tickets as presents, they have to have some way to make it painless.
i always use mobile  
bigbluehoya : 8/19/2019 1:32 pm : link
but I believe for all tickets purchased there you can either use mobile or generate pdf and print.
As a guy who

works at an arena, a screen shot would work the best. Sometimes these apps on phones take forever to load and if you go through security then try to bring it up on the phone instead of having it ready, it will hold up the line and then others behind you get mad.

Best of luck!
