StubHub Debuts Ticketing Application in the Android Marketplace.

StubHub, a ticket marketplace, announced that its ticketing application is now available in the Android marketplace.
Through the application, fans can buy tickets to all sports, music and theatre events listed on StubHub, and ticket sellers can manage existing ticket listings - anyplace, anytime on an Android-based portable device.




The Company said the StubHub Android application is ideal for on-the-go fans, with features that showcase live events based on the user's preference and location. Its navigation and user interface is tailored specifically for Android-powered devices, providing users with a convenient and simple way to track events. Fans can tag favorite sports teams and bands to follow them throughout the season and on tour. The application also provides detailed ticket information prior to buying a ticket, such as where the user's seats are located. Ticket sellers benefit from open access to their ticket listings, including the ability to view, delete and deactivate listings, as well as edit ticket prices and in-hand dates.


"Mobile innovation is a big growth area for StubHub because our customers are asking for it," said Ray Elias, senior director of marketing for StubHub. "Making our service available on the rapidly-growing Android platform is an obvious next step in addressing consumer demand, especially for on-the-go, and last minute commerce." 


According to a release, Android users who download the StubHub application will enjoy the same FanProtect Guarantee and customer service that is offered on the StubHub website - attributes that continue to make StubHub the "go-to" source for live entertainment event tickets for millions of fans across North America.
Ticket sellers and fans can download the Android application for free on the Android marketplace. The secure application protects users' personal information and enables fans to purchase tickets using their existing StubHub account, via PayPal or credit card.


The Company noted that the introduction of the StubHub application for the Android expands eBay Inc.'s mobile offerings. In June of 2010, StubHub released a free ticket application for iPhone and iPod touch devices, marking the first application in its category. StubHub's Android application is the newest member of eBay's offerings for Android devices, which currently includes eBay, eBay Classifieds, and Red Laser.
