StubHub has raised $800 million from its initial public offering after pricing the deal at the midpoint of a marketed range, as the online ticketing reseller succeeds in its third attempt at going public.
The company sold 34 million shares for $23.50 each after setting a price range at between $22 and $25 apiece. The pricing values StubHub at around $8.8 billion, based on in its Form S-1 filing where it disclosed it would have 373 million shares outstanding after the IPO, assuming an overallotment option is fully exercised.
The San Francisco-based company co-founded by CEO Eric Baker said it plans to start trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “STUB.”
StubHub’s last attempt to go public was in April, before President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs roiled markets and led the online ticketing platform to pull its listing plan along with others like Klarna (KLAR), which went public earlier this month. The IPO market has since picked up, with funds raised so far in 2025 already the most since 2021, a record year.
The track record of recent listings has been less buoyant, however, than a few months ago, when shares of design software platform Figma (FIG) more than tripled on their debut. Shares of buy now, pay later firm Klarna and those in the crypto exchange owned by the Winklevoss twins, Gemini (GEMI), rose around 15% on their market debuts this month.
