Fans File Class-Action Lawsuit Against StubHub
Fans seek damages after failed World Cup ticket deliveries.
Event Overview
World Cup fans, including California residents Julia Reeker Moghal and Reuben Renteria, have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against StubHub in New York federal court. The plaintiffs allege that StubHub failed to deliver tickets for matches, including games at SoFi Stadium and a Mexico vs. South Korea match, and engaged in misleading sales practices. While some users received refunds for tickets, they claim they were not compensated for associated travel and hotel costs. The lawsuit alleges StubHub violated its own FanProtect Guarantee and failed to prevent 'speculative ticketing'.
