I checked my prior statements and it looks like VivdSeats and SeatGeek share the same merchant code but StubHub could be different?
I know college sport season tickets do not count for this category
StubHub should classify as entertainment, as it is a ticket reseller just like VividSeats and Seatgeek.
FYI, I booked a festival hotel/ticket package in the Netherlands on the Venture X in October 2023. I was curious what the merchant code would be, as it was for entertainment + accommodations. Capital One classified the purchase as entertainment, which worked out well as I was using the purchase as part of my $4,000 spend for the SUB. Getting the 2x on the Venture X vs. just 1x on the Sapphire Reserve (which I got earlier this month) was a nice bonus.
I plan on getting the SavorOne in late May 2024 (after I have exhausted my Chase 5/24 slots), and it should arrive before I leave for the Netherlands in mid-June. The card will come in handy at the festival, as I don't know whether or not the food vendors will classify as dining or entertainment. With the SavorOne, I get 3x on both dining and entertainment (with no foreign transaction fees), so I'm safe either way!
