Stubhub has added a mobile screenshot ticket upload option

I was posting some tickets on Stubhub last week and saw this new delivery option – mobile screenshot.  It’s even the recommended option.  Overall, I think this is good for ticket flips.  Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of this option.

Advantages

  • Now you can sell tickets that TM never let you transfer or sell.  They are kind of rare, but they’re out there.  This is HUGE.
  • You don’t have to deal with people not accepting Ticket transfers.  This causes me anxiety because people don’t accept transfers until the day of, and Stubhub may call you up.
  • This also means your listings will stay up until show time.  I learned last week that Ticket transfer listings end about 4 hours before showtime.  Great if you’re doing a firesale

Disadvantages (over ticket transfer)

 

Overall, I think the advantages outweigh the risk of the scam.  I haven’t personally done it yet.  I think a good play is if you’re still holding tickets the day before (which is always a bad sign,) you can switch your tickets from ‘ticket transfer’ and then do mobile screenshot instead.  This’ll give you 4 more hours for your firesale.
