StubHub promotes their FanProtect program, which will “replace tickets for comparable to same event, full refund or fancode for future purchase” if tickets are invalid, but some customers haven’t had the best luck with the policy.
The FanProtect 100% guarantee by @StubHub is anything but. Bought two tickets to a game that were supposed to be together... turns out they were on opposite sides of an aisle. Stubhub says “no way seller could have known.” Offered resolution was crap. Stubhub sucks.

Update: @StubHub 's FanProtect Guarantee is a lie. Purchased fake tickets, was given an 'inconvenience voucher' for 75% of the amount. What I wasn't told, is that this was supposed to be in lieu of an actual refund. That's not purchase protection, it's fraud. https://t.co/pYyCSJufP3
