Lawsuit alleges StubHub deceives customers into paying extra for tickets

Lawsuit alleges Stubhub deceives customers into paying extra for tickets. The suit says that extra fees are tacked on at checkout, including so-called junk fees.

The aforementioned drip pricing strategy isn’t allowed, as the law requires merchants to provide factual information regarding consumer goods sold in the city. The federal government, under President Biden, has been trying to tamp down these practices since 2022, when Ticketmaster caused a straight-up fiasco by promising more Taylor Swift tickets than were actually available and adding plenty of junk fees. Finally, the DOJ took legal action against Ticketmaster’s parent company Live Nation earlier this year, accusing it of monopolistic practices that result in high ticket prices.
