StubHub, the world's largest ticket marketplace, announced today that it has teamed up with Jersey Boys; the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning international hit musical; to establish the first official Fan to Fan Ticket Marketplace for a Broadway musical. The new venture will encourage fans to visit StubHub when seats are no longer available at the box office. Similarly, if a fan has a ticket they cannot use for an upcoming performance, they will be encouraged to offer that ticket to other Jersey Boys fans via StubHub's safe and secure ticket exchange platform. No show tickets will be sold directly through StubHub, rather the marketplace will serve as the preferred destination for secondary sales. This unique partnership is the first of its kind for a Broadway production and includes all North American Jersey Boys productions, including both open-ended and touring engagements.
