I've never bought tickets for sporting events in the UK from Stubhub, so wouldn't like to comment. I did buy tickets from a tout outside the ground at Old Trafford for the 2005 Ashes and had no problems getting in (turned out that we ended up sitting next to the player's families), but that was a different city, different ground and scarily almost a different era so it's likely a case of YMMV.
