Between January 27th and and February 18th, an unauthorized party accessed our StubHub account and changed our listing of concert tickets. Originally, we had placed two tickets for sale for approximately $175 each, but the altered listing showed them at $200 each. Additionally, they were listed as "General Admission" tickets, but the altered listing showed them as being in "VIP" status, meaning, in essence, that they were now advertized as being more valuable than they really were. Without realizing that somebody had changed our listing, I authorized a sale that reflected the altered ticket information.
I complained to a StubHub representative, stating that my account had been accessed and altered by an unknown and unauthorized user, but they still held me solely responsible for the transaction and have stated that they do not intend to investigate unless we provide proof that the account's security was breached. All we have is the confirmation email at the time the listing was created, showing the correct ticket info and pricing at that time. We are currently at a standstill in the investigation since we do not have access to their servers and can't say when and from where the account was accessed.
I contacted the Cyber Police (FBI) to resolve this problem! Stub Hub plans on charging me $297.00 FOR THEIR MISTAKE... Their lack of security!!!
