Hoe weet ik dat ik dan echt de kaarten krijg en dat de eigenlijke houder niet al op mijn stoel zit? Op nfl.com worden ook zulke kaarten aangeboden, klinkt goed, maar is het wat?

StubHub is Cardinals Season ticket holders re-selling their tickets. When it comes to determining sellouts, the tickets on StubHub are counted as SOLD whether they are sold or not. If you purchase a ticket on stub hub, there is a chance that you will not be admitted into the stadium. Plain and simple. I personally know people who bought their tickets off of stub hub and were denied entry because the scanned tickets had "already" been used. The person who "owned" the seats, sent the people the cardstock tickets, deactivated them and then printed out theirs from the feature that season ticket holders have access to in our account manager. My friends tried to talk to the Cardinals but they were referred to Stub Hub to deal with it. Had they purchased them on ticket masters site, the Cardinals would have been more then willing to let them into the stadium.

The only LEGIT way to get a ticket is through the Cardinals official sale source, ticketmaster. Ticketmaster are the tickets that the team holds back to sell to the general public....typically 10% of the capacity (could be more if the team had a lot of churn from season ticket holders that did not renew). In that list, there are some re-sell tickets from season ticket holders that cannot attend that particular game, but that number is pretty small.

I'd second that although Stubhub will refund the price you paid for the tickets. The problem is if you're a visitor - they don't do anything on your travel expenses. So if you have friends coming in for a game or you're traveling yourself, I'd be very cautious with stub hub. I've had visitors on two separate occasions where they were turned away and that kind of thing ruins the whole day. With computerized tickets and scanning, it's a lot easier to become a fraud victim.

Don't forget the teams ticket exchange which is also through ticketmaster I believe. There you will be buying someone's tickets through there account with the team. They will email you the tickets, and then they no longer have access to the tickets for that game.

Sure, tickets may be a little cheaper on Stubhub, Craigslist, ebay, etc etc but it's definitely a case of "Buyer beware." If the difference is a few bucks, like maybe $10 or so, buy with confidence from the team, or the team run Season Ticket Holder exchange.
