New to StubHub? Here's what you need to know.

Some people prefer to spend their money on experiences rather than things. If you fall into that camp, then you may be the type who budgets for concerts and sporting events. And if so, you may be curious about StubHub if you've never used it before.

Unlike Ticketmaster, which sells tickets directly to consumers, StubHub is more of a ticket marketplace where individuals can list tickets they have available for sale. You might, for example, use StubHub if you bought tickets to an event and then a conflict arises that renders you unable to attend. Or, you might use StubHub to try to score tickets to an otherwise sold-out event.
