Partnership structures

The right structure depends on the inventory, the risk and the outcome.

StubWorld can purchase inventory, manage it, share performance, or combine structures by event, product or season. Three models cover most situations, and every one of them puts StubWorld on the club's side of the table.

Committed capital

Inventory purchase

How it works. StubWorld purchases an agreed inventory portfolio on agreed terms. The club's revenue is defined on day one and the market exposure moves to StubWorld.

Best suited for. Clubs that want certainty, capital up front and a single accountable counterparty for the inventory.

What StubWorld commits. Our own capital, our pricing desk, distribution, fulfillment and reporting through the Partner Portal.

Aligned incentives

Performance partnership

How it works. StubWorld manages pricing and distribution for an agreed inventory set, with economics built so that our upside only exists when the club's does.

Best suited for. Clubs that want to keep control and participate in the upside while adding a professional operator to the inventory.

What StubWorld commits. The pricing desk, distribution, the Partner Portal and senior attention from the people who sign the agreement.

Built around the need

Custom hybrid

How it works. Committed seats plus managed distribution, blended by event type, product or time of season.

Best suited for. Clubs with mixed demand profiles, premium products, special events or a season that changes shape from month to month.

What StubWorld commits. Everything above, shaped to the plan the club and StubWorld write together.

Questions clubs ask

Before the first call.

Does StubWorld actually take inventory risk?
Yes. Under an inventory purchase StubWorld buys the seats with its own capital and carries the market exposure. Under a performance partnership or hybrid, risk is shared in whatever proportion the agreement sets. We are one of the few partners in this market that can say that with a straight face, because we have been doing it since 2000.
Can the club set price floors and keep them?
Yes. Floors are set with the club, distribution respects them, and the Partner Portal flags floor violations by game, week over week, so compliance is something the club can check rather than something it has to take on trust.
Which marketplaces does StubWorld use?
The approved marketplaces are named in the agreement. Distribution reaches the channels that matter for the club's market without listing inventory in places the club has not approved.
How is reporting delivered?
Through the StubWorld Partner Portal, a login built around the club's own inventory and synced from live pricing and floor data. Average ticket price by tier, zone, game and day of week, sales pace and floor compliance, without waiting for a quarterly deck.
How long are agreements?
Terms are set per agreement. Single-season, multi-year and event-specific structures are all workable, and the first season often serves as the proof for a longer relationship.
Who at StubWorld will we work with?
The people who negotiate the agreement. Senior attention on pricing, strategy and the relationship is part of every structure, not an upgrade.

Not sure which structure fits? That is usually the first conversation.
