Walt Disney World is renowned for its magical attractions, awe-inspiring shows, and world-class entertainment. From the Voices of Liberty at EPCOT to the enchanting Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there’s no shortage of dazzling performances to enjoy. However, a recent mix-up by major ticketing platform StubHub has fans scratching their heads—and sharing plenty of laughs.

A Comedy of Errors: StubHub’s Misstep
StubHub recently advertised a Jerry Seinfeld performance scheduled for February 1, 2025, at the Walt Disney Theater in Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
However, in its promotion, the ticketing giant used an image of the Town Square Theater, located at the entrance of Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The mix-up was enough to spark confusion among fans, with some briefly wondering if the legendary comedian was about to grace the stage of the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
The error was called out on social media by X (formerly Twitter) user Tharin White, who humorously posted:
Hmm, I think StubHub might have the wrong ‘Walt Disney Theater’ photo for Jerry Seinfeld.

The post, paired with the incorrect image, quickly gained traction online, with fans joining in on the joke. While the Town Square Theater is a beloved destination for meeting Mickey Mouse, it is decidedly not hosting Jerry Seinfeld—or any stand-up comedy acts, for that matter.
Fans React with Humor
The gaffe didn’t go unnoticed by Disney enthusiasts, many of whom took to social media to poke fun at the situation. One commenter quipped, “Jerry Seinfeld and Mickey Mouse sharing a stage? Now THAT would be worth the price of admission!” Another fan joked that StubHub might be trying to launch a new kind of crossover event, blending Disney’s magic with the comedian’s dry wit.
Adding to the hilarity, other screenshots revealed that StubHub had mistakenly used the Town Square Theater image for additional performances, including Harry Potter in Concert, Fiddler on the Roof, and even Stardew Valley. While these shows are undoubtedly real events happening elsewhere, none of them will take place at Disney World.
Clearing Up the Confusion
Thankfully, StubHub has since removed the promotional image, ensuring no further mix-ups for guests looking to attend Jerry Seinfeld’s upcoming performance. According to StubHub’s website, the show will take place at the Walt Disney Theater, located 15 miles from Disney World at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
While this incident didn’t result in any actual ticketing mishaps for guests, it’s a reminder of how even the smallest mistakes in marketing can lead to big laughs—and a bit of confusion.
A Lesson in Laughter
The StubHub incident has become a lighthearted talking point among Disney fans and ticket buyers alike. As one fan remarked, “At least it’s not a show about nothing!” Whether intentional or not, the mix-up has brought a bit of joy and levity during the holiday season—a fitting outcome for the “Happiest Place on Earth.”
