I sold tickets to a concert on stubhub last year as I was unable to attend.

The concert was cancelled so no sale. Now stubhub wants me to pay a fee for failing to deliver on my listed tickets…

      Yes, the original tickets were from Ticketmaster and refunded. But StubHub (separate selling site) still want a cut even though I obviously can no longer sell the tickets, if that makes sense? Which is ridiculous because obviously it’s not my fault the concert was cancelled.

        I agree it’s ridiculous, but from their perspective, they provided a service and it is not their fault either. This is why allowing companies to get involved in private sales is bad. They will always want a cut. Unfortunately, private ticket sales is scalpers and scams.

        Tickets are one thing that could actually be a nft.and benefit from it!

          Generally speaking, doesn’t the buyer pay their fee, in the sense that a portion of what they pay goes to them? If so, wouldn’t it have made more sense for them to have withheld that portion of money when refunding the buyer?
