Q: How can I deliver my tickets to a buyer?

A: Ticket delivery depends on the type of ticket you have.You will need to deliver them to the buyer the same way they're received from the primary ticket provider. The only time this does not occur is when we are partnered with a team or venue.


Ticket transfer

  • These tickets are in an online account where you bought them (the team, Ticketmaster, etc.)
  • We'll send youinstructionsso you can transfer tickets to the buyer through the online account
  • The buyer will use their mobile phone to get the tickets and view them on the event day
    Flash Seats
    • These are mobile-only tickets stored in a Flash Seats account
    • After your tickets sell, we'll email youinstructions to transfer themto the buyer using the Flash Seats app
    • The buyer will use their Flash Seats account to link a credit card or license (if applicable) to swipe, or the Flash Seats appto scan at the venue
      Barcode
      • You'll enter the numeric or alphanumeric barcode shown on the tickets. Enter the barcode shown on the tickets to deliver them to the buyer.
      • We'll cancel your barcodes and reissue new ones to the buyer once you have entered them in.
        Paper tickets
        • These are traditional tickets printed on laminated, hard stock paper, wristbands, or tickets printed at home.

        • You'll be given a pre-paid UPS shipping label to use. Go to "My Tickets > Sales" to get your label.

        • We recommend dropping them off at a UPS store to ship rather than using a UPS drop-box.
          PDF tickets
          • These are PDF files on your computer or mobile device
          • They should be the original document you got when you bought your tickets
          • If you have 1 document with all of the tickets but only want to sell some of them, you can choose which files to keep and which to sell in the listing process
            Pickup tickets
            • These are hard tickets you'll deliver to our Last Minute Services (LMS) location
            • If you choose LMS delivery, the tickets won't be on-site until they are delivered to our LMS team
            • Not all events offer Last Minute Services.
            • If your tickets are at LMS and they sell, the buyer will pick them up on the day of the event. You don't need to do anything!
            • If your tickets are at LMS and they do not sell or the listing is deleted, sellers are welcome to go to our pickup location to retrieve their tickets.
              Will Call tickets
              • Will Call tickets (tickets only available at the venue's box office) CANNOT be listed on StubHub as we are not able to confirm the delivery of tickets using this method.Q: My tickets won't be ready until a later date or close to the event. Do I need to fulfill as soon as tickets sell?

                A: You can set what we call an "In-Hand Date" for when you can expect the tickets to be in your possession.

                During the listing process,we will pre-select the latest in hand date possible to help you avoid any fulfillment issues. You can change this date if you expect the tickets to arrive sooner.

                If the tickets sell, you have until your in-hand date to deliver them to the buyer. But, you can always deliver them sooner if you're able too. The earlier you deliver the tickets, the sooner you'll get paid!

                Q: How long do I have to fulfill my sale?

                A:When your tickets sell,we'll send you an email with a deadline to complete your sale and deliver the tickets to the buyer.

                This deadline depends on when you told us your tickets were in possession (In Hand) or not (Not In hand). If they're not in your possession, when listing the tickets you told us when you'd have them.
