Okay, so I have bought my ticket but a friend of mine is interested in coming now. This whole radioactive ticket scheme has me kind of nervous. The only options are eBay, StubHub and Craigslist/scalping.
Do you think StubHub is a safe way of buying a ticket? It seems like they guarantee that their tickets are real, but just wondering as this whole situation now has made me nervous. Anyone have any experience or know about their policies?
Stub hub has been good to me, never had a problem (buying and selling). Plus they guarantee the tix . Not that it will help once you get to the gate - but at least you wouldn't be out money.

Unfort, I had to suck it up and buy mine off Stubhub. It was the safest route for me to take. Nobody local had any tickets for sale, and i'm not about to mail/transfer $$$ to someone across the country in good faith of sending me a "ticket"
I just had a friend buy a ticket on stubub. Hoping it ships in time, it said delivered by June 6. And out of anything I'd consider Stub-hub the safest. they do guarantee your tickets.

I like StubHub. You'll hear a lot of complains about them as a company and about their prices, but honestly - you're paying for the convenience and security of having them set up the transaction and guarantee it. Yes, you might pay more there than through CL or whatever, but that's the entire point - you're paying for their services.
If you buy a ticket from StubHub and it turns out to be fake, that doesn't help you with getting into the fest, but at least you're not out all that money. And luckily with the RFID wristbands this year, you can register it to your name beforehand and then you won't have to worry - so you won't have to make the long trip to Roo without being totally confident.
Stub Hub has always been good to me. I mean you pay out the ass for tickets sometimes but its worth it. Also you can get great deals. I got 2 tickets for Muse that were worth $90 each for $12.50 each on the day of the show...
Tickets on Stubhub are $289....how much is face? That seems pretty good to me
The problem, as with any ticket broker, is the service fee. On stubhub, it's 10%. We were able to get one for $287 after shipping and service fee. Of course, it helped to have the iPhone app. I was able to check the ticket list about every two hours. There were very few tix that went for less than $300 last week, not even counting shipping and servicing. For that price, they should service me.
