Eric Baker, co-founder and CEO of Ticket reseller StubHub, rings the opening bell during his company’s IPO at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City, U.S., September 17, 2025.
StubHub shares opened at $25.35 in their New York Stock Exchange debut on Wednesday after the online ticket seller priced its IPO in the middle of its expected range.
The pricing late Tuesday at $23.50 per share raised $800 million for the company, now trading under ticker symbol "STUB."
StubHub's long-awaited IPO comes after the company paused its plans in April, when President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs sent the stock market into a tailspin. It was the second such delay, after market volatility forced StubHub to temporarily shelve its IPO plans in July 2024.
The IPO is the latest in a flurry of tech offerings as the market rebounds from a dismal few years. Swedish buy now, pay later firm Klarna and Gemini , the crypto firm founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, rose in their respective debuts last week. Peter Thiel-backed cryptocurrency exchange Bullish , design software company Figma and stablecoin issuer Circle have also hit the market in recent months.
StubHub has been through a number of transactions in its 25-year history to get to this point. It was purchased by eBay for $310 million in 2007, but was reacquired by its co-founder Eric Baker in 2020 for roughly $4 billion through his new company Viagogo.
