I hate supporting scalping, but I really really wanted pit tickets for the upcoming Arcade Fire concert at the Woodlands. But, the pit is really small there and so it sold out really fast. I was pretty pissed off when I saw 1/3rd of the tickets on stubhub IMMEDIATELY afterwards, but whatever. So, right now tickets are at $125, but they started at $200 originally and are coming down fast. They've barely sold any apparently so they are coming down, which is good, 200+ is ridiculous for $50 tickets. Anyways, to the point, if they drop below $100 I plan on buying them. But is stubhub reliable? Like, I won't get a fake ticket, or pay someone then not get the ticket on time or something? I'm really scared I'll get screwed over, because I REALLY want to go to this concert. But I also really want pit tickets. So should I order from Stubhub or stay away?
The short answer is that they are legit.
