StubHub

StubHub is the world's largest ticket marketplace, allowing fans to buy and sell tickets for sports, concerts, theater, and other live entertainment events. For individuals, it offers a legitimate way to resell tickets they can no longer use, or to engage in ticket flipping as a side hustle. The platform serves as a secure middleman, guaranteeing valid tickets for buyers and timely payment for sellers.

StubHub's "FanProtect Guarantee" ensures that sellers are protected against chargebacks and fraud. Sellers can set their own prices, often capitalizing on high demand for sold-out events. While competitive, it remains the gold standard for secondary market ticketing, providing a massive audience of potential buyers.
