Want to know what happens if your StubHub tickets don’t sell?
Not sure whether you can use them if they don’t sell on StubHub?
Not knowing what to do next because you have unsold tickets is frustrating. You may be wondering whether there is another option, or if you can use the tickets after all. And your tickets not being eligible for resale on StubHub, takes this issue to a whole another level.
But have no fear! In this post, we’ll talk about those issues and provide some solutions in case your tickets don’t sell on StubHub.
What happens if my tickets don’t sell on StubHub?
Short Answer: If the event hasn’t already taken place, the tickets will be available on the platform until it does, unless you decide to relist them somewhere else or reduce their price to boost the likelihood that they’ll sell. If it still doesn’t sell, though, you may try gifting or selling them to your associates.
If you’re having trouble selling your tickets on StubHub, you may want to try selling them on another resale website or platform. Ticketmaster Resale, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and even Craigslist are just a few of the many alternatives. You may have more success selling your tickets if you advertise on other sites, as each has its unique user base and reach.
Your tickets may be priced excessively expensive about those of comparable events on the marketplace. To encourage additional sales, you may want to consider decreasing the price. Discounting your tickets is another option for drawing in customers.
If you can’t find somebody to buy the tickets from you, you may always use them yourself. Even if you weren’t able to sell your tickets, it doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun at the event or give them as a present to someone else.
This is a practical option if you have a friend or acquaintance who is planning on going to the event or who knows people who could be interested in purchasing your product. If you’re selling the tickets to a friend, it’s best to agree on a price and method of payment in advance to prevent any awkwardness.
If my tickets don’t sell on StubHub, can I still use them?
When you advertise your tickets on StubHub but they are not purchased by anyone before the event, you still retain them and may use the tickets yourself. You may just remove the listing from StubHub in this situation and use your tickets to go to the event.
Listing your tickets for sale on StubHub allows you to advertise them to a large audience at a price that works for you. If a customer purchases your tickets, the sale is finalized and you must provide the tickets to the customer. When that happens, money will be transferred to you from the buyer.
When your tickets don’t sell, however, and the big day is quickly approaching, you have the option of taking them off StubHub. This removes the listing and makes you the rightful owner of the tickets, enabling you to use them to attend the event yourself.
Please note that after your tickets have been sold on StubHub and the sale has been completed, you cannot cancel the transaction unless there are special situations permitted by StubHub’s regulations. If you cancel a sale after it has already been completed, you may have to pay a penalty that is equal to the whole amount of the transaction.
It is important to familiarise yourself with any regulations or limitations that might be applied to the event you are going to, as well as the terms and conditions of any ticket resale site you use.

Final Words
In conclusion, if you’re having trouble selling your tickets on StubHub, there are other options to explore. You may try to sell your tickets on other secondary market websites, cut the price to make them more appealing to potential purchasers, or even offer them to friends and relatives.
And if that doesn’t work, you can always just cancel the listing and go to the event yourself. Once a sale is completed, however, it may no longer be possible to cancel the deal without financial penalties.
