How Do I Get StubHub to Refund a Charge?
If you've recently purchased tickets with StubHub and need to refund the charge, follow the steps outlined here for quick approvals.
StubHub is an online platform that allows clients to resell and purchase tickets to events. Customers can buy tickets for concerts, sports events, and art and theatre events.
StubHub's official return policy states that if you do not receive your tickets in time for your event, they will attempt to reissue some replacement tickets. If replacement tickets are not available, you are eligible for a refund.
If you received incorrect tickets, the responsibility is on you to inform StubHub in a timely manner. StubHub will require you to send in the incorrect tickets and it will be at their discretion whether they issue you a full refund or offer you StubHub credit for future events.
StubHub will offer refunds for canceled events but not postponed events. However, StubHub is not responsible for partial performances, line-up, time, or venue changes.
If you have recently made a purchase with StubHub and believe you're eligible for a refund, follow the below steps.
Check the StubHub Help Desk
Try typing your scenario into the StubHub Help Desk to see if others have been in a similar situation and if they were eligible for a refund. However, even if the Help Forum says you're not eligible, we recommend you still try and see what a customer service representative says.
