Viagogo Completes $4B StubHub Acquisition as UK Merger Investigation Continues

Viagogo has completed a $4B acquisition of fellow resale ticketing site StubHub from former owner eBay

February 13, 2020Viagogo will maintain the StubHub brand and its headquarters in San Francisco, complying with a preliminary investigation by the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority competition watchdog that was opened into the merger in December following the sale's announcement.
