## Key points

- House Democrats are seeking details about Baker’s roles at StubHub and Andro Capital.
- Garcia wants financial and service arrangements explained by 5 November.
- The inquiry comes amid broader scrutiny of ticket resale practices.

## Summary

House Democrats have demanded answers from StubHub chief executive Eric Baker about his simultaneous role at Andro Capital Management, a ticket resale firm that lists tickets on StubHub and other platforms. The inquiry centres on whether the relationship creates a conflict of interest or allows preferential treatment, potentially harming fans, artists and other customers.

In a letter, Representative Robert Garcia asked Baker to explain financial and service arrangements between the companies, including cash flow, financing and fees; he set a response deadline of 5 November. StubHub has said Baker’s investment was publicly disclosed, that Andro Capital is a separate company and one of many vendors, and that the relationship accounts for a small share of its revenue. The probe comes amid wider scrutiny of ticket resale, including state proposals to cap resale prices and a recent federal lawsuit against a ticket broker accused of making more than $120 million by reselling concert tickets.
