We are not affiliated with either marketplace. This records the public journeys and prices visible on 25 September 2026.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"test\">The ticket-buying test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uxa-test-brief\">\n    <div class=\"uxa-test-brief__item uxa-test-brief__item--task\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">01 \/ Task<\/span><p>Find two adjacent tickets for Dodgers at Giants, Friday 25 September 2026 at 7:15pm, inspect the price and continue to the final safe step before identity or payment.<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-test-brief__item\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">02 \/ SeatGeek<\/span><p>View Box 328, Row D, seats 15\u201316.

Its listing price already included fees, the detail panel preserved the seat view and delivery context, and checkout itemised the base ticket, fee and US$122.50 total on the same screen as the email field. StubHub also showed fee-inclusive list prices and a useful order summary, but opened a separate timed checkout, switched the US event into Australian dollars and added AU$1 tax per ticket after a card labelled \u201cincl. fees\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<nav class=\"uxa-article-nav\" aria-label=\"Article sections\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Jump to<\/span><a href=\"#discovery\">Discovery<\/a><a href=\"#selection\">Selection<\/a><a href=\"#checkout\">Checkout<\/a><a href=\"#recovery\">Recovery<\/a><a href=\"#performance\">Performance<\/a><a href=\"#heuristics\">Expert review<\/a><a href=\"#changes\">Priorities<\/a><\/nav>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"discovery\">Both found the event, but SeatGeek shortened discovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SeatGeek placed the exact game in the public home-page event set, so one selection reached the ticket map. StubHub required a search for the matchup and date, then offered the exact event in its suggestion list. Both routes preserved the teams, date, time and Oracle Park context after arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event pages took different visual approaches. SeatGeek divided the viewport between a scannable listing column and a large labelled map. StubHub initially devoted most of the page to the map and a narrower listing rail; during one captured load that map area remained blank while ticket cards were usable. It subsequently rendered, but the empty first state weakened confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/seatgeek-event-full.jpg\" alt=\"SeatGeek event page showing a column of two-ticket listings with fee-inclusive prices beside an Oracle Park seat map\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SeatGeek kept two-ticket inventory, section names and fee-inclusive prices visible beside the map. <a href=\"https:\/\/seatgeek.com\/san-francisco-giants-tickets\/9-25-2026-san-francisco-california-oracle-park\/mlb\/17692084\">Open the tested SeatGeek event<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-round-winner has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Round winner \/ SeatGeek<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact event was one selection away and the initial map\/list balance made comparison efficient.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"selection\">SeatGeek explained the selected seats without losing the map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selecting SeatGeek\u2019s View Box 328 listing opened a detail panel with the row, seats 15\u201316, a real-view image, \u201cUS$62 each incl. fees\u201d, instant-delivery status, accessibility status and a claim that it was the cheapest listing in that section. The continuation control sat beside the ticket count and seat numbers, so the action and its object stayed connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/seatgeek-offer.jpg\" alt=\"SeatGeek selected-ticket panel for View Box 328 Row D with seat view, two tickets, seats 15 to 16, fee-inclusive price and delivery details\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The selected SeatGeek offer combined the view, exact seats, total basis and delivery conditions before Continue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because these were accessible seats, SeatGeek inserted a specific confirmation explaining who the seats were intended for before checkout. That extra step was appropriate error prevention, not generic friction. StubHub asked for quantity in a modal, then launched the chosen offer into a new checkout tab with a ten-minute price lock. The lock protected the listing, but it also introduced time pressure before identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-round-winner has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Round winner \/ SeatGeek<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seat, delivery and accessibility details appeared together before commitment; StubHub split quantity, offer and checkout across more transitions.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"checkout\">Both exposed a total, but only one reconciled it cleanly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SeatGeek\u2019s checkout showed the arithmetic without another interaction: US$50.00 ticket plus US$11.25 fee per seat, US$61.25 subtotal per seat and US$122.50 total for two. The event, date, venue and View Box 328 selection remained on the same page. The list\u2019s rounded US$62 price therefore became fully explainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/seatgeek-checkout.jpg\" alt=\"SeatGeek checkout showing an email field and a price breakdown of two 50 dollar tickets, 11.25 dollar fees per ticket and 122.50 dollar total\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SeatGeek reconciled the rounded list price with an itemised US$122.50 total beside the email step.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">StubHub\u2019s selected listing was advertised at A$72 each including fees. Checkout then itemised two tickets at AU$72 and tax at AU$1 per ticket, producing AU$146. The total was visible and the AU$2 difference was small, but \u201cincl. fees\u201d did not mean the amount was final. The checkout also used an Australian currency and locale for a US event, which may be useful for an Australian visitor but makes cross-market price comparison harder unless the conversion basis is explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/stubhub-checkout.jpg\" alt=\"StubHub checkout showing a timed email step and an Australian-dollar total of 146 dollars for two tickets plus tax\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">StubHub preserved the event and seat summary, but the final amount added tax after an \u201cincl. fees\u201d list price. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stubhub.com\/san-francisco-giants-san-francisco-tickets-9-25-2026\/event\/159262339\/\">Open the tested StubHub event<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-round-winner has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Round winner \/ SeatGeek<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total, fee and per-ticket arithmetic agreed on one screen, without a timer or new-tab handoff.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recovery\">The recovery test produced clear, local email errors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Submitting SeatGeek\u2019s empty email field produced \u201cEmail address is invalid\u201d, placed immediately below the field with an error border and icon. StubHub disabled Continue while the field was empty; entering \u201cnot-an-email\u201d produced \u201cPlease enter a valid email address\u201d beside the field and kept Continue disabled. Both preserved the ticket summary and total, and neither discarded progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">StubHub\u2019s prevention-first pattern has a slight advantage because an invalid state cannot be submitted. SeatGeek\u2019s message is still direct and visually connected, although \u201crequired\u201d would be more precise for an untouched empty field. We corrected neither value and stopped before identity or payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-round-winner has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Round edge \/ StubHub<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue stayed disabled until the email format was plausible, while the inline message made the correction obvious.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"performance\">SeatGeek rendered sooner; StubHub responded a little faster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uxa-metric-grid\" aria-label=\"SeatGeek and StubHub exact event page Core Web Vitals comparison\">\n    <div class=\"uxa-metric\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">SeatGeek \/ phone<\/span><strong>1.32s<\/strong><span>LCP \u00b7 good<\/span><strong>321ms<\/strong><span>INP \u00b7 needs improvement<\/span><strong>0.00<\/strong><span>CLS \u00b7 good<\/span><\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-metric\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">StubHub \/ phone<\/span><strong>2.83s<\/strong><span>LCP \u00b7 needs improvement<\/span><strong>222ms<\/strong><span>INP \u00b7 needs improvement<\/span><strong>0.06<\/strong><span>CLS \u00b7 good<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are 75th-percentile Chrome UX Report figures for the exact public event pages on phones, covering 27 August to 23 September 2026.

SeatGeek\u2019s largest content arrived well inside the 2.5-second good threshold, while StubHub\u2019s 2.83-second LCP needs improvement.
