About StubHub
StubHub is the global reference for person-to-person resale, with enormous supply in sports, music and entertainment. Its dynamic buyer fees (estimated at ~28%) are among the highest in the sector. For event organisers, it is not the right platform. For buyers of sold-out tickets, it is a common choice — though always check the final price with all fees included.

Reputation
StubHub is the reference resale platform in the US and enjoys global recognition. In Europe, its footprint is smaller than Viagogo (sister company). It receives recurring criticism for late disclosure of fees and final prices well above face value.
