US online auction and shopping giant eBay has entered a global partnership with AEG, a sports and entertainment presenter, to enable multiple venue sponsorships and technology integrations.

The multi-year partnership will include a variety of eBay companies and initiatives, such as StubHub and PayPal. Thus, beginning with Q1 2013, StubHub will become the exclusive secondary ticketing solution for AEG venues and AXS Ticketing, the ticketing platform launched by AEG in 2011. StubHub will also serve as the Official Secondary Partner of STAPLES Center, the 2012 Stanley Cup Champion LA Kings (NHL) and the LA Galaxy starting with the 2013-14 seasons for each franchise.

At a global level, the deal is aimed at integrating with a number of venues across Europe as StubHub continues to expand internationally. PayPal will become one of AXS Ticketing’s new methods of payment, providing their fans in the US and UK access to tens of thousands of events. As the multi-year partnership continues, further integrations will take place between eBay portfolio of businesses and AEG’s collection of assets.

As the exclusive secondary ticketing partner for AEG’s ticketing platform AXS Ticketing, StubHub will provide a barcode cancel/re-issue solution for the seamless transfer of tickets between buyers and sellers. Additionally, StubHub will become the Official Fan-to-Fan Ticket Marketplace for more than 30 AEG facilities worldwide.

Further integrations are also planned for the future.
