Hi @jenavery0808 

Stubhub sets the fees and the buyers fee usually ranges between 20-35% of the value of the tickets.  Sometimes, Stubhub will list tickets tickets below what the seller has asked as a means of making the tickets appear more attractive.  They then make up for this by charging a higher fee.  You can toggle to look at the price of the tickets with or without fees but you will always see the fees at checkout and then you have to decide if you want the tickets and are willing to pay the fees.

Did you use Stubhub for the first time to buy Taylor Swift tickets without bothering to read about the fees that third party resellers charge?  Oh you Swifties.
