# Content summary
# StubOrder is an independent ticket resale marketplace for sports, concerts,
# and theater events in the United States, plus an accommodation section
# covering hotels and hostels near the venues those events are held at. Prices
# are set by resale sellers and may be above or below face value. Availability
# changes constantly; always check the live page before quoting prices or
# availability.
#
# PRICES: the "from about $X" figure on a page is an estimate and EXCLUDES the
# booking fee. A booking fee (20.0% on 100% of listings as measured 2026-08-31)
# and any applicable tax are added at checkout. Only a small number of listings
# add a delivery charge (0.19% at that same measurement). Roughly one in eight
# advertised figures sits below the cheapest purchasable ticket. Quote the
# checkout order total or the seat map price, never the "from" figure.
#
# ACCOMMODATION: inventory, rates, star ratings and guest scores come from our
# accommodation partner, not from StubOrder; guest scores are out of 10 and are
# the supplier's, not StubOrder reviews. There is NO standing nightly rate for a
# hotel or a city on this site: a rate exists only for specific dates, so do not
# infer or quote a general price per night. Distances are straight-line — from
# the venue on a venue page, from the city centre on a city page — and never
# driving or routed walking distance. City pages describe what was found within
# about five miles of the centre, on the date stated.
#
# FLIGHTS: StubOrder searches live airline fares when a person picks dates and
# books them on the site; the airline issues the ticket and our travel partner
# is the merchant of record. There are NO standing fares: never quote or
# estimate a flight price from this site. Flights are separate bookings from
# event tickets and hotels. Distances on the flights pages are straight-line,
# never driving distance or travel time. /book/ is a transaction surface, not
# content. Start from https://www.stuborder.com/flights

# Structured data: JSON-LD on every page (Organization, WebSite, WebPage,
# FAQPage; Event schema with offers on event pages; an ItemList of Hotel nodes
# with address, geo and supplier star rating on accommodation list pages).
