Premiership Rugby extends StubHub partnership

Premiership Rugby, the body that operates the top tier of rugby union in England, has renewed a partnership with StubHub.

For the fourth year in row, StubHub will give rugby fans a safe and secure place to buy and sell tickets for the 2017 Premiership Rugby final.

Face value tickets are now on sale and are listed on behalf of Premiership Rugby on StubHub.co.uk for the 2017 final, which will take place at Twickenham on May 27.

“StubHub continue to be a valuable partner for Premiership Rugby, offering supporters a safe place to buy tickets for this marquee event and also the chance to re-sell tickets in a secure environment if they can no longer attend,” said Premiership Rugby’s commercial director, Dominic Hayes.

“Tickets are offered as a range of primary and secondary tickets listed in price order so supporters can choose the tickets they want at the price that suits them.”

StubHub, which will serve as the official ticket marketplace of the 2017 final, will have brand marketing and activation rights for the event. Last year, fans were given an opportunity to win StubHub vouchers by participating in a 3D freeze frame selfie at Twickenham stadium.

Nick Harford, head of business development and partnerships at StubHub UK, added: “Increasingly, leading sports rights-holders and promoters are using StubHub as a channel to sell their tickets at face value, in addition to giving fans a secure and transparent marketplace to resell their tickets. We are excited to be working with Premiership Rugby once again and to give StubHub customers access to the most anticipated club rugby event of the year.”
