Washington, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb Sues StubHub Over $118 Million Deceptive Pricing Practices
Jul 31, 2024, 09:19 AM
The attorney general for Washington, D.C., Brian Schwalb, has filed a lawsuit against StubHub, accusing the ticket resale platform of deceptive pricing practices. The lawsuit alleges that StubHub advertises deceptively low prices and then adds hidden fees at the end of the checkout process, misleading consumers about the true cost of tickets. The complaint also states that StubHub has sold over 5.5 million tickets to consumers in the district, extracting $118 million in hidden fees since 2015. Prosecutors claim that the company fails to provide clear and accurate information about ticket fees or how they are calculated, employing deceptive, manipulative, and unfair practices to advertise event fees to users.
