StubHub plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buyer fee | On request | 2 | Entry tier |
| Seller fee | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Buyer fee
On requestThe entry tier. It covers service fee added at checkout, commonly around 20 to 30 percent or more of ticket price, fee amount varies by event and is shown before final purchase confirmation.
Seller fee
On requestOver Buyer fee, this tier adds:
- Service fee deducted from the sale proceeds, historically around 10 to 15 percent
- Rate can vary by event and seller volume

- Seller payout tracking
People bring StubHub in for a fan trying to buy a ticket to a sold-out event no longer available at face value from the primary seller, someone who bought tickets they can no longer use and wants to resell them, a buyer wanting a guarantee that a resold ticket will be valid and delivered on time, comparing seat locations and prices across multiple listings for the same event before buying. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to StubHub are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for StubHub
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
StubHub runs on ios, android, web, and is published by StubHub Holdings, Inc. of New York, New York, United States. The full record is on the StubHub review, and the rest of the category is under best entertainment tools.
