StubHub (STUB) has filed for a proposed IPO.
The company describes itself as: "Our journey began in 2000 when our Founder and CEO, Eric Baker, founded StubHub, the first online marketplace for secondary tickets, with the commitment to bring liquidity, transparency and trust to an opaque and inefficient category. When we started, secondary ticketing was a fragmented offline market, untouched by technology and data, with complicated problems to solve. To win in secondary ticketing, we had to create a technology-enabled marketplace where tickets were sourced and priced dynamically and all types of live events could be supported.
Today, we believe we operate the largest global secondary ticketing marketplace for live events. Our business model has achieved scale with high growth and generated significant revenue, profit and cash flow. We connect fans around the world with sellers who use our marketplace to reach passionate fans and price tickets efficiently. We operate our global ticketing marketplace through two brands: StubHub in North America and viagogo internationally."
J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs will serve as lead undewriters.
