SAN FRANCISCO--()--StubHub, the world’s largest ticket marketplace, today announced the launch of the ticketing industry’s first-ever price mapping feature, setting a new precedent in making ticket transactions as efficient and cost-effective as possible for buyers and sellers alike. “PriceMapper” introduces sold ticket data to sellers in a uniformly displayed seat map in the listing process, enabling those fans to price their tickets based on the truest market value, resulting in a quicker sale. For buyers, this will create listings of more tickets to a greater number of events at the most competitive and attractive prices possible.
“The PriceMapper feature will help both the occasional seller who wants to make a quick pricing decision, and the more frequent seller who wants to research trends and listing data to ensure their tickets are listed with a price that makes them likely to be purchased”
The new interactive PriceMapper seat map will enable sellers to view both sold and current listing data for any section or zone, providing the opportunity to view pricing detail to allow for a more accurate picture of the current market value of their tickets. Displaying sold ticket prices serves as a highly valuable gauge for sellers, arming them with insight on the actual prices fans have been willing to pay for specific locations. A new “Compare” feature provides sellers a quick visual indication whether a proposed sale price is in the ballpark of other similar listings.
“The PriceMapper feature will help both the occasional seller who wants to make a quick pricing decision, and the more frequent seller who wants to research trends and listing data to ensure their tickets are listed with a price that makes them likely to be purchased,” said Leigh Goldstein, StubHub Director of Product. “Buyers benefit from having a greater selection of tickets priced at a true market-value. Ultimately, PriceMapper will take the buying and selling process on StubHub to a new level, making it even easier and more convenient for fans to exchange tickets to events nationwide.”
PriceMapper is available immediately for all NFL and MLB venues and will be rolled out across more than 500 additional events on StubHub by the end of October. Sellers with active listings can access PriceMapper any time via their “My Listings” page in their accounts and clicking on the “Compare Prices” icon to keep abreast of pricing trends for their event and make necessary pricing adjustments as needed.
