StubHub files for IPO to become public company

StubHub, a popular ticketing platform, plans to go public. The company filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. StubHub allows users to buy and sell tickets for sports, concerts, and other events. The company aims to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "STUB." The filing did not reveal how many shares will be offered or the expected price range. Last year, StubHub reported that buyers from over 200 countries purchased more than 40 million tickets through its platform. Founded in 2000, StubHub is known as one of the first online marketplaces for secondary ticket sales. It operates in North America and also includes viagogo for international sales.
