Viagogo, stylized by the company as viagogo, is a multinational ticket exchange and ticket resale brand. It is recorded in the United States (Delaware)[3] and has been owned by StubHub since 2021.[4] It was founded in London in 2006 by Eric Baker as an online marketplace for consumers to buy and sell tickets to sports, music, theatre and comedy events.[5]
Viagogo is backed by investors such as Index Ventures, Brent Hoberman, Jacob Rothschild,[6] and Bessemer Venture Partners.[7] In February 2020 the company purchased StubHub for $4 billion with the merging process finalized in 2022.[8][9][10][11]
The company has been criticized for inflation via ticket resale, lacking transparency, and in some cases, having sold counterfeit tickets. These controversies have led to legal action in some of the countries where Viagogo operates, and also led the UK Competition & Markets Authority to order changes to Viagogo's operations.
