Discovering ChatGPT's Innovative StubHub Experience for Ticket Shopping

Highlights from ZDNET's Exploration

StubHub has introduced a new application within ChatGPT, revolutionizing the way I purchase tickets. After a brief trial, I've found it difficult to return to traditional methods.

This innovation in ticket purchasing makes StubHub one of the initial platforms to integrate so seamlessly with ChatGPT.

StubHub, through this app, offers a conversational approach to searching for tickets for concerts, sporting events, theater productions, and more. Instead of manually navigating pages for a specific event, like a Cubs versus Red Sox game, you might simply query, 'Can you find Cubs tickets for this weekend?'

Following initial search results, you can refine your inquiry with requests like 'What's the lowest price for the series?' or 'Which seats offer the best view on Saturday?' The app instantly adapts these filters to provide up-to-date pricing and availability. Notably, ChatGPT tracks your preferences through the dialogue, directing you to finalize your purchase on StubHub once you've chosen the perfect tickets.

Evaluating ChatGPT's Ticket Shopping Abilities

I put this app to the test by searching for tickets to the Carolina Panthers versus Seattle Seahawks matchup. While an initial search yielded typical options, similar to those easily discoverable on my own, I succeeded in narrowing my search with prompts like 'Find the cheapest options' or 'I want premium seating.'

What truly distinguished this integration was its ability to handle detailed inquiries such as 'Which seats will have sunlight the longest?,' 'Which seats offer a view of the Uptown Charlotte skyline?,' or 'Show me seats right behind the Panthers bench.'

These specific considerations, typically involving extra research or insider information, were efficiently addressed by ChatGPT, unearthing suitable options every time.

When you shop using this method, you pay StubHub's prices, which may vary from face value depending on the event. However, it offers a new level of convenience and simplification to ticket buying.

To access this feature, integrate SnackHub with your ChatGPT. The app is accessible on both desktop and mobile devices for iOS and Android users. Find it in the app's Store by searching for 'StubHub' or locate it under 'Apps' in your profile settings.

Once integrated, you can mention StubHub in conversations to start shopping for tickets.
