Confirming Orders

As soon as your tickets sell, we’ll send you an order notification email. Follow the link in the email to log in to your account and confirm the order – even if you no longer have the tickets or don’t have them yet. The Confirm Tickets page appears.

Please confirm all orders within 48 hours. If your order remains unconfirmed for more than 48 hours from the time of your email notification, we may choose to cancel the order and find alternate tickets for the buyer. Failure to confirm orders may result in the closure of your account.

Note: Sellers do not need to confirm orders being delivered by Instant eDelivery.

To confirm pending orders:

  1. On the Confirmation Options page, click Yes if you have the tickets “in hand“ and are ready to deliver them. Click No for additional options:
  2. On the Confirm Payment page, let us know how you would like to get paid for this order. Your default payment method is automatically selected. Read about Getting Paid for more information on your payment options.
  3. Click Continue.
  4. If you need to provide ticket barcodes for the order, carefully enter the barcode for each ticket. For more information, read about Entering Barcodes.
  5. Review the information in the Confirmation Details box for accuracy.
  6. If you are ready to confirm the order, click Confirm This Sale.

Important: For FedEx orders, don’t forget to follow the remaining steps to ship the tickets to the buyer. For more information, read about Shipping Tickets to Buyers.

You can also confirm your orders directly from your StubHub account. If your web browser allows pop-ups, we’ll notify you of any orders awaiting confirmation when you log in. You’ll find any orders awaiting confirmation listed in the Pending Confirmation section of your account’s listings.

To confirm orders from your account:

  1. Select the listing you want to confirm. You can confirm one listing at a time.
  2. Select Confirm from the drop-down menu.
  3. Click the Take Action button. The Confirmation Options page appears.
  4. Follow steps 1-6, above, to confirm the order.

When you confirm an order, it moves in your account from Pending Confirmation to Awaiting Shipment. The order remains in Awaiting Shipment status until it enters the FedEx tracking system.

Entering Barcodes

When you confirm an order being delivered by eDelivery, you’ll enter the barcode on each ticket in the order.

Enter the barcodes exactly as they appear on your tickets. If the barcode includes a dash (-) or any spaces or special characters (such as * / + - % $), enter those as well. Be very careful to enter the barcodes correctly – and double-check the information you’ve entered. Once you click Confirm This Sale, we’ll validate the barcodes you provided. If validation fails on any ticket, you will receive an error.

What happens next?

Once you’ve entered the barcodes and confirmed your order, we cancel the original barcodes and issue new ones to the buyer. Then, we deliver the tickets to the buyer electronically and send you an email with payment information.

Important:: Keep in mind, once the buyer receives the tickets containing new barcodes, your original tickets are no longer valid and you must not use them yourself or attempt to sell them. However, don’t destroy them or throw them away. If an event is cancelled, you may need them to receive a refund from the venue.

Confirming That You Cannot Provide the Tickets

If you receive an order for tickets you no longer have or will not receive in time to deliver to the buyer, you must inform us of your situation. The sooner you let us know, the better we can assist the buyer, which will, in turn, reduce the likelihood that you incur additional charges.

Follow the link in your order notification email to log in to your account and confirm that you cannot fulfill the order. The Confirmation Options page appears.

  1. On the Confirmation Options page, click the No button to see additional options for confirming the order.
  2. Select the option that matches your ticket situation.
    • If you no longer have the tickets, but you can offer substitutes for the same event on the same date, select the third option, “I no longer have these tickets, but I have substitutes that are comparable or better.”
    • If you do not have the tickets and cannot offer substitutes, select the fourth option, “I do not have substitutes to offer.”
  3. Click Continue.

You may continue to receive email reminders from StubHub while we work to find tickets that satisfy the buyer.

If you have indicated that you have substitute tickets to offer the buyer, we’ll contact you within 24 hours to obtain information about your substitute tickets. The substitute tickets you offer must be for the same event and on the same date as the tickets the buyer originally purchased.

Important: Keep your substitute ticket offer open for at least 24 hours and remain available at the phone number associated with your StubHub account.

Remember: A buyer is under no obligation to accept the substitutes you offer and your sale may still be cancelled. Please do not list tickets that are not in your possession unless you are absolutely certain you will have them in time to deliver them to the buyer.

If you have indicated that you cannot offer substitute tickets, we will review your account. If you have made this selection in error, contact us immediately at 1.866.STUBHUB (1.866.788.2482).

Shipping Tickets to Buyers

We'll give you a pre-paid FedEx shipping label to use to ship your tickets. In most cases, the shipping label assigned to your order generates automatically when you confirm the order. However, when you confirm an order for tickets not “in hand,” the shipping label will generate on the shipping date you provide.

Remember:

  • Always use the pre-paid FedEx shipping label to ship your tickets. Because the shipping label's tracking number is linked to your ticket listing, your payment may be delayed if you don't use it.
  • Use an official FedEx envelope to ship your tickets. Using other packaging may cause your shipment to be delayed. FedEx envelopes are available free of charge at any FedEx Kinko's or FedEx Drop Box location.

To ship your tickets:

  1. Print the shipping label and fold it in half so the barcode occupies half of the page.

    Note: When you print the shipping label, 2 pages print. Page 1 is the shipping label and page 2 is a cover sheet to ship along with the tickets.

  2. Examine the shipping label to make sure the order number on the label matches the order number for the tickets you are shipping.
  3. Slide the shipping label into the plastic pouch on the FedEx envelope. Make sure the barcode is facing out and is clearly visible.
  4. Place the tickets and cover sheet (page 2) in the envelope.

    Note: Do not place any other items in the envelope. Inserting promotional materials, contact information, or any other items with tickets is a violation of the User Agreement and will result in the withholding of payment.

  5. Drop the package off at any FedEx Kinko's or FedEx Drop Box location. To find the location nearest you, call 1-800-GOFEDEX.

Printing Problems?

Printing the shipping label requires Adobe Reader™. Click here to download or upgrade it for free.

If you have trouble printing the label:

  1. Save the label to your desktop, double-click the saved file to open it, and choose Print from the File menu.
  2. If it still won’t print, please upgrade both your web browser and Adobe Reader to the most current versions available.

If problems persist, give us a call at 1.866.STUBHUB (1.866.788.2482). We’ll be happy to assist you.

Additional Security Measures for Big Ticket Events

We're proud to be able to feature some of the most sought-after tickets to the biggest, most celebrated events on the continent. Events that used to be impossible to get into - the Super Bowl, World Series, and Masters Golf Tournament, to name a few - are now available through reliable, guaranteed interactions between buyers and sellers in the StubHub marketplace.

Because of the increased market value of these tickets, we may implement additional security measures for certain Big Ticket events. If added security measures are in place, we'll let you know in the notes on the Event Page and by email when you place an order or create a listing.

Security Measures for Buyers

Since every event is different, the security measures put in place will vary from time to time. However, if you're buying tickets to a Big Ticket event, the additional security measures will usually include:

  • Completing a StubHub Credit Card Authorization form before your order is accepted.
  • Picking up the tickets you purchase at the Last Minute Service Center handling ticket sales for the event.
Security Measures for Sellers

Again, security measures will vary by event. However, if you're selling tickets to a Big Ticket event, the additional security measures will usually include:

  • Completing a StubHub Credit Card Authorization form before you are allowed to list.
  • Providing the tickets in advance to the Last Minute Service Center handling ticket sales for the event.
Why the extra precautions?

We realize that these are big events that offer once-in-a-lifetime experiences. No matter how you look at it, these purchases or sales are important to the fans using the StubHub marketplace. We will do everything we can to make sure these exchanges go smoothly, and taking these precautions will help us provide the level of guarantee you need and have come to expect from us. The additional security measures are in the best interest of everyone - buyers, sellers, and yes, us too!

Disclaimer

We are pleased to be able to facilitate the exchange of tickets between sellers and buyers. However, these exchanges are transactions solely between the buyers and sellers of tickets. Although we always encourage respectful, civil behavior in accordance with venue rules and local, state, and federal laws, we cannot guarantee fans' behavior and are in no way liable for any fines, penalties, or other consequences of fans' behavior at events.
