ugh

4.00 to process and 7.50 each ticket for the convienance of ordering it from a computer that they don't have to pay to process this shit..... plane tickets dont have as many fees and charges!

depends on the show but i've made back double at times. not sure how popular beirut is. i'm guessing they aren't insanely popular so 15-20

i only do one extra ticket.

My room mate does this with every show he wants to go to. If tickets ever are 2x the purchase price he sells them, no questions asked. He made $200 on some crappy punk band's sold out show this way.

IF YOU CAN'T SELL YOUR EXTRA TICKET FOR MORE THAN YOU PAID FOR IT BY USING STUBHUB, I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ONE FULL OF FAIL

i wouldnt want to list first for a show in may actually. far away = not special for the tickets. plus it seems that their traffic is not geared towards that genre = not likely to sell.

hey, like it or not, stubhub blows. unless you want sports tkts or rolling stones tkts, they're not going to have a listing. whereas i can sell just about anything (from tkts to used doorknobs) on ebay and make mad loot.

'just sayin.

i was pretty much just responding to ALL of your posts thus far. really had nothing to do with you cracking on stubhub.

i DO stand by the fact that stubhub is a good way to get WAY more for your ticket than it's worth.
