LIVE EXPERIENCES IMPROVE LIVES
Introducing #TicketForward: Bringing the joy of live events to deserving people
#TicketForward was founded on the belief that everyone, regardless of circumstance, deserves to experience the joy of live events. Through #TicketForward, we recognize extraordinary people who go above and beyond to help others or have overcome adversity, and help to unlock access to live events for people who otherwise wouldn’t have access.
Through a simple nomination process, your nominee has a chance to receive a StubHub gift card to use towards any live experience we offer. It’s that easy to recognize the people who inspire us with the gift of a live event.

Meet Some of our #TicketForward Recipients
Liam, David & Diwani
MEET LIAM
Northampton, UK
For the past 12 years, Liam has volunteered, rain or shine, as Bernie the Mascot for the Northampton Saints rugby team. He takes his volunteer role seriously and makes it his goal at every game to get kids smiling and people cheering. Since Liam has been so dedicated to bringing joy to rugby fans of all ages, his colleagues rewarded him with the gift of a live event.
MEET DAVID
Madrid, Spain
David was born with a mental disability that hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his passion for helping others. He works in a supermarket, then volunteers in his free time to the Spanish Red Cross and Astor, an NGO that helps people with mental disabilities. His positivity and hard work were recognized with tickets to see his favorite team, Real Madrid, play live.
MEET DIWANI
Dallas, TX
Diwani, 16, is battling cancer. She’s a huge soccer fan and has been playing and watching soccer most of her life. When Diwani was diagnosed with cancer and started treatment, she had to give up playing competitive-level soccer. Through our partnership with Make-A-Wish, we were able to make her dream come true to see Real Madrid play live in Spain.
