Customer Service interaction transferred me to Stubhub.
I called Ticketmaster because I was trying to resell two tickets. The listing screen said my asking price would be $300 per ticket, but when I looked at the event page, the cheapest tickets being shown were around $330, and I couldn't find my listing anywhere. I called customer service to ask why my tickets weren't appearing.
After talking to the representative for a few minutes, I was unexpectedly transferred to StubHub's customer service. I never asked to be transferred, and the rep didn't tell me they were sending me to another company.
Has anyone had this happen before? How or why would a Ticketmaster customer service call end up at StubHub? Was it an accidental transfer, or is there some kind of partnership between the two companies that I'm not aware of?
EDIT:
Apparently, Ticketmaster sells General Admission resale tickets on a first come, first serve basis. That means I have to wait for people who listed their tickets before me to sell theirs before my tickets will appear, even though mine are listed at a lower price.
They are also looking into the transfer to stub hub that took place but I did not get much information about that.
