Buying season tickets for football

Has anyone ever bought them off of StubHub before?
I ask because I'm scrambling to find a pair of season tickets after my normal hookup for the past few years is no longer viable. While trying to see if there was any decent lower bowl packages available through the RF, I came across the fact that you can buy them on there for a pretty reasonable price. Has anyone done this before and, if so, would you say it is a legit and safe purchase?
I plan on taking the plunge and just going directly through the RF next year for a long-term solution but I need a stopgap to get me through the '16 season. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Stub Hub guarantees that the tickets are legit. I've used them for years, different events even parking passes.
Although no lot 46 passes.

Thanks man, I was hoping you would reply. That's good to know that you've had success with it.
I've never had a pass. We always give our stuff to Chris and then park up at those apartments and walk down. You've got to marry into the family to get the pass.

Stubhub is fine, their fees are nuts though.
I would rather use Ticketcity, or Razorgator myself.
Vivid even. I sell on all of them via a pos system.

I'll check those out too. Thanks Rev.
Has anyone ever sat in 101 or 107 before? I spoke to the RF and that's all they have left in the lower level. I could do those for a year before bumping up my donation and moving elsewhere. I just don't know if those viewing angles are bad or not because I've never sat there before.

I've sat in 107 Chesh. Is say those are a no go this year unless they put up the screen in the south. You can't see the screen for replays and such.
Had part of our season tickets in 101 one year. Was a good section IMO. I had no complaints and sat around some great folks. Gave those up when I moved our lower levels to 105.

I love 107. It's usually pretty empty so you can spread out and get really close to the field
Of course, I watch the game and not the screen. I also enjoy being able to see/hear the team on the sidelines

Thanks for the reply. Upon review, I'm starting to lean towards 101 as well and just jumping in to the RF this year and start building from there. The girl I spoke to today said I should be able to jump up next year with no problem. She could be lying to make a sale but she seemed honest.

Thanks for the picture. The visualization helps.
How's the crowd around you? Do they like to stand?

101 isn't bad at all. IMHO.
But the girl saying you could jump up next season? to where?
It isn't usually easy to move up to good lower level tix without a major jump in donation.
I give quite a bit and have 4 club outdoor seats, 6 section 103 tickets. Nothing cheap about it and now my club seats will be eaten by suites... Grrrrr

Also, 107 is a section where many tickets are sold...As in, you may be sitting next to different people every week because a lot of that's sections tickets are sold online.

Crowd is pretty different every game. For some reason, it seems like different people every time.
Usually a lot of standing though, though not as much as some parts of the stadium

That's the plan. I was trying to come in at a higher initial amount but she said the only seats they have left in any donor category are in 101 and 107. So, she said I could instead bump up my donation level next year and slide over.
I'm not trying to get to the center of the stadium by any means. Getting back to 115 is my target goal long-term. My guess would be sliding over to 102 first and then going from there as I build points over the years. However, I'm getting the feeing though that she is making it sound a lot easier in theory than reality?

shes making it sound way way easier. Now being that you want to get to 115 on the east side, that helps.

I have done this a few times and never had a problem. In general, I haven't had any bad experiences with Stubhub.
