SAN FRANCISCO, July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, on
7/17/17, StubHub, the world's largest ticket marketplace, releases
a list of top events to experience while traveling abroad this
summer: "17 in 17." The 17 in 17 tool empowers summer travelers to
build personalized live event itineraries in the 17 countries most
visited by American ticket buyers, whether they have a destination
in mind or are hoping to discover a new, unique event to experience
abroad.
How it works: After selecting their country of origin and
preference for music or sports events (or both), users will receive
an itinerary outlining the top events in the top 17 countries. From
there, users can tailor the itinerary to even more specific music
or sports preferences.
"There has been an uptick in American ticket buyers purchasing
tickets to events abroad," said Jessica
Erskine, Head of Entertainment Communications for StubHub.
"More and more, we are seeing travelers adding live events to their
itineraries and travel research checklists alongside top sites and
restaurants. Attending a one-of-a-kind music festival, local
sporting match or cultural festival offers a unique way to
experience a new destination like a local, with locals."
