Visa Checkout and StubHub Team Up to Help Fans
Experience Exclusive Performances & Offers
Today, Visa (NYSE:V) and StubHub announced they are enhancing
their partnership to offer a variety of experiences that put fans
at the center of the action. Starting today in Austin – and
everywhere – the two brands are unveiling a series of events,
promotions and offers designed to help fans everywhere snag the
hottest tickets in town.
In 2017, Visa and StubHub plan to introduce fans to benefits
such as seat upgrades when consumers use Visa Checkout to pay for
tickets on StubHub. In April 2017, fans will once again receive a
significant discount off their StubHub purchase when they pay using
Visa Checkout, repeating a popular offer the two brands first ran
during the holiday season last year.
Given the growing rate of mobile commerce sales1, more merchants
are making Visa Checkout available to their consumers to help
simplify the checkout experience and increase sales. As one of the
first merchants to take advantage of Visa Checkout's integration
with the Braintree platform, StubHub fans will soon be able to use
Visa Checkout in the StubHub mobile app, making it easier than ever
to grab a ticket.
“StubHub has been a great partner, and we are thrilled even more
consumers will be able to get their tickets on StubHub using Visa
Checkout online or in app,” said Sam Shrauger, senior vice
president, digital solutions, Visa. “As Visa Checkout approaches 20
million consumer enrollments, we look forward to our continued
partnership and bringing consumers an easier way to pay on the
StubHub mobile app.”
“We’re always looking for unique and new ways to give our fans
the best possible experience – whether that’s putting them in the
center of the action, or giving them an easier way to pay, like
Visa Checkout,” said Glenn Lehrman, global head of
communications, StubHub. “This is just the beginning of how
our two brands will continue cutting-edge collaboration and strive
to make exclusive experiences more seamless.”
To celebrate the convergence of technology and music in Austin
this week, Visa Checkout and StubHub will host a private concert at
the Everywhere Lounge as StubHub gears up for their music showcase
series in Austin. The StubHub “LIVE: Sound Stage” will feature more
than 28 performers over three days: Wednesday, March 15 – Friday,
March 17. A team of lifestyle influencers will be taking part in
the festivities and covering the StubHub showcase throughout the
week on their social media channels.
