StubHub Partners with Broadway’s The Book of Mormon to Provide Direct Access to Premium and Exclusive Primary Ticket Packages

StubHub, the world’s largest ticket marketplace, has become an official ticket partner for Broadway’s The Book of Mormon, the winner of nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical. In partnership with Telecharge, the primary ticket seller for The Book of Mormon on Broadway, StubHub will provide direct access to premium tickets, including exclusive ticket packages, marking the first time StubHub will directly distribute tickets for a Broadway show. Fans can purchase premium tickets at face value for the best seats in the house for all Broadway performances of The Book of Mormon. The exclusive ticket packages for the Tony and GRAMMY Award-winning show will come with a commemorative Book of Mormon book and tote bag for each ticket purchased on StubHub.

While Telecharge remains the official distribution channel for The Book of Mormon, the unique site integration between StubHub and Telecharge offers direct ticket access for StubHub buyers for Broadway’s most in-demand ticket.

“As we continue to develop partnerships to give StubHub users premium access to some of the most popular live events, the Broadway fan continues to remain top of mind,” said Chuck La Vallee, Head of Business Development, Music and Entertainment for StubHub. "As one of the world’s most acclaimed musicals and the hottest ticket on Broadway, The Book of Mormon is a natural fit to begin bringing these exclusive premium packages to our fans and the integration with Telecharge will allow us to do so in a particularly safe and seamless approach.”

The producers of The Book of Mormon said: “This partnership will ensure that the best seats for The Book of Mormon will be more accessible for the StubHub purchaser, who will now have direct access to The Book Of Mormon’s primary tickets. As the world’s largest ticket marketplace, StubHub reaches ticket buyers far beyond the traditional Broadway theatergoer. Customers who purchase tickets through the secondary markets know that StubHub is a secure and reliable way to purchase tickets and that the company provides peerless customer services – all of which will now be available for purchasing primary tickets for The Book Of Mormon.”
