Visa & StubHub Achieve Perfect Harmony in Austin
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.
