SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
StubHub, the world`s largest ticket marketplace, today announced a partnership
with AOL Music, http://www.aolmusic.com, which will integrate StubHub`s Fan to
Fan marketplace into AOL Music providing users with instant access to tickets.
This collaboration expands on StubHub`s existing relationship with AOL,
complementing an AOL FanHouse partnership announced in May. 

With the new agreement, StubHub`s service is woven throughout AOL Music allowing
fans to buy or sell concert tickets from almost every page of the site - this
includes AOL`s Artist & Video pages, as well as AOL Music`s concert touring
website, TourTracker, http://www.tourtracker.com. For the first time, users can
also see up-to-the minute concert ticket price ranges on StubHub`s marketplace
without ever leaving AOL Music. 

"This integration is another great opportunity for StubHub to deepen its
relationship with AOL and expand the reach of its services to millions of AOL
Music users," said Ray Elias, Director of Marketing for StubHub. "This gives
fans a true interactive experience by providing easy access to tickets, pricing
and tour information all within the framework of their favorite music content
site." 

Since 2000, StubHub's unique marketplace, dedicated solely to tickets, has
provided fans with the choice to buy or sell their tickets in a safe, convenient
and guaranteed environment. Since its establishment, StubHub has forged major
partnerships in all realms of entertainment including sports, concerts and
theater. 

"Allowing our consumers to purchase tickets to sold-out shows through StubHub
will significantly enhance our user experience," said Bill Crandall, vice
president of AOL Music. "StubHub's vast selection and award-winning customer
service make them a natural fit for AOL Music."
