As we reported in 2018, Rammstein had obtained that the platform Viagogo could no longer resell its tickets. On 2 May 2023, the Hamburg District Court announced that the same would apply to StubHub. The platform was also fined 15,000 euros..
The news was announced via a press release from MCT, the promoter of Rammstein's European tours.
StubHub and Viagogo are unofficial ticket resale platforms. The court accused them of taking advantage of the hype surrounding Rammstein concerts to cheat consumers. The tickets were often resold at a very high price and the visitor was not clearly informed that he was not buying a ticket directly from the organiser. Worse, there was a possibility that the tickets were falsified.
This is an opportunity for us to remind you once again: you should never order tickets on other platforms than the ones indicated on official websites.
