About
StubHub is an American ticket exchange and resale company that specializes in providing services to buyers and sellers of tickets for sports, concerts, theater, and other live entertainment events. Established in 2000 by Eric Baker and Jeff Fluhr, StubHub quickly grew to become the world's largest ticket marketplace, facilitating over 16 million unique visitors each month and managing nearly 10 million live events. The company operates on a mission to give everyone the freedom to access and connect through live experiences, and boasts a vast inventory of tickets across various entertainment genres including music, theater, and sporting events. After being acquired by eBay for $310 million in 2007, StubHub expanded its offerings and audience significantly, becoming a prominent player in the global ticket resale market. In 2020, StubHub was acquired by Viagogo, allowing the two brands to work together to further enhance their global ticketing services. StubHub's platform not only enables streamlined ticket transactions but also emphasizes consumer trust with its FanProtect guarantee, ensuring a secure ticket-buying experience for its users. With operations spanning across North America and Europe, StubHub continues to innovate in the ticketing industry by providing accessible tools and resources for ticket purchasers and sellers alike.
