Cheer on your favourite snooker players live

Played on a green baize-covered table, snooker is a cue sport that dates back to the 1870s and was popularised by British Army officers stationed in India. 22 coloured balls come into play for a snooker game, which is won by the player who manages to pot the most balls, thus gaining points. As early as 1927, there was a World Snooker Championship, but the sport really took off in the 1970s with the advent of snooker on TV: suddenly a far wider audience was able to admire the complexity and skill inherent in the sport. Some legendary snooker players have included Joe Davis, Ray Reardon, Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan, but with the game gaining in popularity in countries as far-flung as China, it's anybody's guess as to who could be the next champion of the table. Snooker is going through exciting times, and now you can be there to witness the making of the next legends - simply use StubHub to purchase or sell your snooker tickets today.
