I started a petition against Stubhub for their inability to be responsible about the service they provide. I am determined to get them to change, so please sign my petition and spread the word like wildfire.

After seeing that someone purchased 58 tickets to the Thrice show on May 24 to sell them on Stubhub at three times the face value, I’ve started a crusade against the website. So far, they claim absolutely no responsibility for any of it. The only reason someone would buy 58 tickets to a show is to pad their pockets and make a quick profit.

If Stubhub didn’t exist, this wouldn’t be happening because scalpers wouldn’t have an outlet to sell them. I’m sick of being locked out of shows by these inconsiderate individuals. I’m sick of going to sold out concerts, only to see rows of empty seats because no one wanted to pay upwards of 100% inflation on a ticket. It’s ridiculous and it needs to stop. I’m asking everyone to join me, by expressing your distaste of these practices. It hurts the artists who lose money when less people show up. It hurts us, as fans, because we can’t beat these greedy people to the punch when tickets go on sale.

I mean, someone purchased tickets to a Glassjaw show in June and raised the original ticket price from $32 to $215. Yet, Stubhub maintains that on THEIR site, they can’t control how people use THEIR service under THEIR guidelines, because it’s a “self-service site”. They need to regulate how much people can ask over the face value and limit how many tickets one account can sell per show. I asked them to do this, but they refuse claiming that people “love their service”. Please help me in this, so we can get back to seeing the events we love without emptying our pockets for these petty thieves. 

This was Stubhub’s reply to my case: ”StubHub cannot be held responsible for other users’ content, actions, or inactions, including without limitation the listing and/or selling of tickets in violation of local, state, national or international laws.” So basically, they could absolutely careless about anything other than taking their cut from a sale. I beg of everyone please repost this, tweet about it, do whatever you can to help me gain support for this. It’s ridiculous.
