Stub Hub

Before the rise of Stub Hub.com and Ebay, the only way to get tickets sometimes was illegally from a scalper. Now that these two sites have completely revolutionized the industry, tickets are being resold for every event on the planet. A few years ago the only way to go to the Super Bowl was to a) be really lucky b) work for a really rich company that was trying to impress people or c) win a contest on a sports radio show. Now if you want to fork over the money, (tickets start in the high $2000 range) you will be guaranteed a ticket. There is no having to listen to the same sports reporter talk in monotone about the same thing in the two weeks leading up to 42, instead you can be planning your itinerary in Glendale. Even though the tickets aren't cheap, it's the guarantee that's most impressive. StubHub has a policy that your tickets will arrive on time and if they don't they will buy them. All vendors in StubHub need to be approved and if you get a faulty ticket, StubHub will get you real ones. The Internet has revolutionized the news, entertainment, sports and now tickets. Enjoy.
