U.S. ticket reseller StubHub has informed the state it will officially start closing its East Granby office Dec. 1 with an initial round of layoffs before closing completely in 2018.
The Connecticut Department of Labor posted the updated closing information to its WARN listing Tuesday.Â
The ticket outlet said in May it would move 197 jobs in East Granby to Salt Lake City, Utah.
StubHub says it has 540,000 Connecticut users who sell or buy tickets online.
In an emailed statement, StubHub said its Center of Excellence for Customer Experience and Trust Operations will move to Salt Lake City when its lease expires in East Granby in 2018.
“Last week, we informed employees that we plan to operationalize and fully staff the Salt Lake City office by Feb. 1, 2018,” said StubHub Spokesperson Alison Salcedo. “To prepare, we will be offering some employees various options to continue with StubHub at our new [location], and for those who will not, we will offer career management and transitional services.”
