What’s Your Live Event Love Language?

A curated ticket guide from StubHub

This Valentine’s Day, StubHub is helping people express love in a new way – moving beyond traditional gifts and toward shared, in-person experiences that create lasting memories. Recent data from StubHub reveals that almost 50% of people would prefer receiving an experiential gift over a product, while more than half (53%) of Bumble members in the U.S. have at least one “Going out” interest badge applied highlighting the importance of connecting with others IRL.

So, whether it’s carving out quality time at a weekend festival, surprising someone with tickets to their dream show, or getting closer than ever in the pit, live events offer a powerful way to express how you give and receive love. 

StubHub curated this guide to help couples, daters, and gift-givers find experiences that match their love language, because no matter how you show love, the best moments are the ones you experience together — and StubHub makes it easier to get there.

QUALITY TIME

For those who value being fully present, nothing says love like uninterrupted time together. From weekend festivals to multi-day sporting events, these experiences turn time spent into memories made together.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION

Connection isn’t always loud; sometimes it’s found in stories, laughter, and shared emotion. Comedy shows, spoken word, and storytelling events create space to listen, reflect, and feel seen side by side.

ACTS OF SERVICE: 

If your loved one values acts of service, planning a special evening and handling all the logistics is a great way to show you care. This can mean handling the ticket purchase on StubHub, transportation or parking, arranging childcare needs, pre-event dinner or drinks, and more. A must-see artist or big game will help make the night unforgettable.  

PHYSICAL TOUCH

For fans who feel closest in the crowd, live events bring people together like nothing else. From small venues with GA pits to packed dance floors, turn shared energy into a powerful point of connection.

RECEIVING GIFTS

Some love languages are meant to be unwrapped. VIP upgrades, premium seats, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences transform a gift into an unforgettable moment worth remembering. Want to go the extra mile? Help your loved one show up in style by gifting them their favorite player’s jersey or concert merch ahead of time. And if you can’t pinpoint their absolute must-see event, StubHub gift cards are always a great option!

PLAN YOUR PERFECT DATE

No matter your love language, the most meaningful gifts are the ones you experience together. From first dates to forever plans, StubHub makes it easy to turn love into a live moment worth remembering.
