Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +7.1% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with WSHP’s strategy of broadening its partner network, this time into live event ticketing for seasonal demand like Valentine’s Day. Historically, partnership and launch news has sometimes been followed by sharp downside moves, such as -22.58% after the U.S. launch and -6.67% after Big Game electronics expansion, so investors watching sustainability would likely monitor whether elevated volume above 65,000 shares and the move above a 55.10 base level attracted profit-taking.

NEW YORK, Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WeShop Holdings Limited (“WeShop” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WSHP), the world’s first community-owned social commerce platform, today announced partnerships with StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek and Event Tickets Centre on its platform, expanding its experiences category and giving shoppers new ways to purchase live event tickets ahead of Valentine’s Day.
Live entertainment continues to be a popular choice for celebrating special occasions, with consumers increasingly favoring events over physical gifts. Research from McKinsey & Company shows that spending on entertainment outside of the home continues to grow, as consumers prioritise memorable moments. Through partnerships with leading ticket marketplaces, WeShop enables members to access concerts, sporting events and live experiences during key seasonal moments such as Valentine’s Day.
Through WeShop’s ShareBack™ rewards model, members earn WePoints when they shop with participating retailers. WePoints can accumulate through everyday purchases and referrals and may convert into equity in WeShop over time, aligning shopping activity with community ownership in the platform. This model allows members to participate in WeShop’s growth simply by shopping as they normally would.
The announcements of StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek and Event Tickets Centre further broadens WeShop’s U.S. and U.K. retail offering, which spans categories including fashion, electronics, beauty, home goods, travel and now live entertainment — extending ShareBack™ rewards into experience-led spending.
“Experiences are becoming a core part of consumer spending around seasonal moments like Valentine’s Day,” said James Fox, Head of Commercial at WeShop. “These partnerships allow us to extend our platform into live events, giving members the ability to earn WePoints on ticket purchases they were already planning to make and extending the value of the experience beyond the event itself.”
Retailers are available immediately through the WeShop app.
