StubHub seller fees explained

How StubHub seller fees typically work

In StubHub's help documentation, seller fees are described as a variable fee applied when your tickets sell. Listing is free; you only pay a fee after a successful sale. The exact percentage can change based on:

• Event type and venue
• Ticket price and section
• Time remaining until the event
• Overall supply and demand for that event

Historically, many third-party comparisons have used ~15% as a reference point for StubHub seller fees, but what you pay for a specific listing may be higher or lower.

Where StubHub shows you the fee

StubHub surfaces the seller fee at a few points in the listing flow:

• On the price-setting screen as you list tickets
• In the listing details once your listing is live
• In the sale details after your tickets sell

Because StubHub controls these calculations on their side, the most reliable information for your situation will always be in your StubHub account. Use guides like this one as context, not a substitute for the numbers StubHub shows you directly.

Estimating your StubHub payout before you list

If you want to model your payout in advance, one approach is:

1. Pick an expected sale price for your tickets.
2. Choose an assumed fee percentage (for example, 15% as a rough estimate).
3. Subtract that fee from the sale price to get your estimate.

The ticket resale payout calculator can do this math for you. In the advanced options, you can plug in an assumed fee percentage for StubHub and compare it to other marketplaces side by side.
