StubHub newly updated iOS and Android mobile and tablet apps features to enhance live-event discovery, enabling travelers to find local events of interest wherever they are.

New mobile app features, live in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., include:

• A robust personalization algorithm that will recommend customized activities based on your favorites, your location and/or your iTunes library (for iOS)
• ESPN content — scores, team stats and stories — about overall team performance
• Improved integration with Yelp allows individuals to see nearby restaurants and read reviews
• Improved mobile ticketing, making it easier to scan a barcode and gain access to the event, either via your phone or your Apple Watch
• Android users will have the ability to pay via PayPal, joining iOS users who already have capability to pay via Apple Pay.

“In today’s on-demand environment, consumers don’t want to spend a lot of time researching what they’re going to do this weekend. Instead, they expect to receive timely and personalized information without having to search for it,” said Parag Vaish, head of mobile, StubHub. “Through our new content partnerships and personalization features, fans will not only be in the know when their favorite teams, bands or shows are in town, they’ll also be able to discover new recommendations based on their preferences.”
