StubHub sells tickets to over 10 million live sports, music, and theatre events in more than 40 countries. Founded in 2000 and owned by eBay, the company claims to have introduced the first ticketing app, interactive seat mapping, 360-degree virtual views of seating, and unique price recommendation technology for individual ticket sellers.
StubHub cares about giving back. Through StubHub's partnership with Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, together, donated over $2.7 million in musical instruments to 61 schools nationwide. Recently, StubHub also developed a partnership with Make-A-Wish to give critically ill children the opportunity to attend live events.
FanProtect is StubHub’s guarantee that you can buy and sell tickets safely on its website and apps. Every ticket order purchased or sold at StubHub sites or apps is 100% backed by FanProtect.
StubHub makes it easy to identify events that interest you. The home page automatically loads “popular near you” events based on your location and you can perform your own searches by city and date.
Additionally, StubHub’s app for iOS and Android can sync up with your music library and notify you when your favorite artists are in town.
Last Minute Services (LMS) is provided by a StubHub affiliate that allows last-minute ticket buyers to pick up physical tickets at select locations:
This is a great option for buyers to purchase a ticket right up until the start of an event without worrying about delivery times as the event approaches.
StubHub provides ample assistance for ticket sellers. There are video instructions regarding each step of the process, including how to list and manage ticket sales. StubHub’s pricing recommendation technology helps you decide how to price your tickets for the best chance of selling your ticket without leaving money on the table.
StubHub has no refund policy in place for buyer's remorse. Whereas some ticket companies give you a 72-hour grace period wherein you can cancel an order for a full refund, StubHub does not.
However, if your event is canceled and not rescheduled, you will get a full refund.
All good things come to an end when you go to check out. StubHub requires two fees: a service fee and a fulfillment fee. These must be paid for each ticket which can add around $18 to your purchase per ticket.
StubHub is a good company to consider for your ticket purchase needs. Whether you are looking for tickets to the big game or to an upcoming concert the experience will be a good one with the FanProtect guarantee, pricing assistant for sellers, and an option to sync your music library to identify concerts of interest. If you’re buying a ticket last-minute this is quite possibly the best company for you!
But keep in mind that all sales are final (with the exception of canceled events), so don’t make a purchase unless you are absolutely sure you want the ticket—or feel confident that you can resell it. Your chances of resale are actually quite good with the resources offered within the StubHub marketplace. Also, be aware of the service fees so that you are not blindsided when you go to buy your tickets. Overall, StubHub is a high benefit, low-risk ticket broker.
