StubHub is now the target of a class-action lawsuit brought forth by disgruntled customers. The plaintiffs accuse StubHub of employing "false and misleading" sales tactics that ultimately resulted in the cancellation of World Cup tickets. According to the lawsuit, ticket purchasers found that the tickets they bought either did not exist at the time of purchase or were later revoked. This left ticket holders unable to attend the World Cup matches for which they had paid. The fans are seeking compensation for the cost of the tickets themselves, as well as for additional expenses incurred, such as travel costs, due to the cancellations. The core of the complaint centers on allegations that StubHub sold tickets it did not possess or could not guarantee, leading to significant disappointment and financial loss for its customers.
