SAN FRANCISCO, June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- StubHub, the
world's largest ticket marketplace, launched an enhanced suite of
tools for ticket sellers in North
America, including a new price setting recommendation tool
dubbed "pricing assistant," making the process to sell tickets
easier and more successful than ever before.
The new pricing assistant tool is now live within StubHub's
simple and guided step-by-step ticket listing process, in which
sellers are informed about how to set pricing based on the best
chance of making a sale, with the capability to easily adjust list
prices and respond to the market dynamics with a few clicks, on any
device – on the StubHub mobile app or desktop – anytime,
anywhere.
"Our new seller tools are part of StubHub's strategic journey to
develop the simplest and most intuitive ticket listing and
successful selling process for our customers," said StubHub
General Manager of North America Perkins Miller. "Pricing
assistant and the tools supported within it are part of StubHub's
mission to innovate with technology to ultimately enable fans to
connect with others and the live events they love."
The pricing assistant tool uses algorithms based on the
industry's most sophisticated data from StubHub's 15-year history,
merging seat and section pricing data, recent transactions for
listings of similar value and event type, plus current market
activity.
Accompanying the new price recommendation tool are email alerts
– and coming soon, push notifications – to help sellers quickly
respond to the market and adjust pricing to increase their chance
of selling tickets.
Finally, other developments to make the selling process even
easier include a new seller landing page, now live with
how-to-list-your-tickets instructional videos, as well as updated
mapping and market activity pages within the sell flow process,
providing sellers the most thorough and transparent view of ticket
pricing and market value to better inform the entire listing
process.
