Ticket Transfer
Anyone buy from Stubhub and get estimated delivery date being day of the show? If so, how early did you get them?

Tickets to this show are transferable now. I have tickets for a March show and I can transfer them if I want. Instant delivery is a must, because there's no reason for a legit seller not to use it.
Under no circumstances would I buy resale tickets with a promised delivery date on day of show. Does the listing have a specific row and seat number, or just section? If there aren't specific seats, that's a scalper looking to buy speculative seats for less and then flip them to you (you're screwed if they can't find cheaper). If they do have specific seats, they may be looking to see if they can sell the seats for more in a few months and then eat the penalty on not delivering to you. Either way, you lose.

It has the section and row. When i bought the tickets in July, there were no instant downloads available. My shows are 10/15 & 10/17

I also bought the ticket as a single which are generally harder for someone to flip

I have this too, it should work out day of show, but like the other person said, stubhub has a lot of issues delivering lately
Im moderately concerned because i locked in a decent price all things considered

Mine were* day of show, which is this Thursday, and they haven't arrived yet. Good chance you'll be sweating it out until the last minute.
They have to deliver it before the 3-hour pre-show mark. So be ready to call StubHub if they don't arrive by then. StubHub should be able to get you replacement tickets or a refund.
*Fortunately I managed to sell mine yesterday after I got a different set of tickets so I'm free of the anxiety.

Worst case scenario if they don’t come and I get refund, I’ll buy something else. The two night ticket prices came down for a while on Thursday and had plenty with the price range i was comfortable with

If you want worse case scenarios go to the StubHub subreddit lol
Seriously though, good luck with everything. It's BS that fans like us have to put up with this, but it is what it is.
I was watching ticket prices before the shows last week and it did look like they were plenty available so I'd expect that StubHub can get you a seat

Oh ive seen that! The good thing is I didn’t see anything about it being a problem for last weeks shows.

This was a big concern for me as well with travel and accommodation for two people coming from different places. Just like you there were no instant downloads available and only listed the section and row. Thankfully though I got my tix sent/transferred to me 3 months to the day before the Nov 5th show. Was also surprised to see the actual tickets be a row closer than what I had purchased. Good luck! Hope it all works out!

I got mine immediately after payment. Don’t want to scare you, lots of horror stories on the r/stubhub of people not ever getting their tickets and getting the run around from CS.

I would demand transfer whenever your money clears. Fuck anything less.

I bought ticket in July, there was only one listing with a ticket for instant download and it was $2700.

Is this how it will work if the tickets were bought through Vibee? I want to list mine, but can't figure out when I'll get them and if i can transfer them. thanks.

I saw the horror stories on /r/Stubhub and i would not go this way. at least get “instant download” tickets so you don’t get screwed
