StubHub Sued for Illegally Boosting Profits With Deceptive Pricing and Junk Fees in Washington, D.C.
StubHub has been sued in Washington, D.C. for illegally boosting profits with deceptive pricing and junk fees.
Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb filed a suit today against StubHub, accusing the ticket reseller of deceptive pricing and junk fees. The complaint states that StubHub uses a 10-minute countdown clock to create a sense of pressure and false urgency as consumers go through a series of needless steps across unnecessary filler pages to make a purchase. Additionally, drip pricing makes it more difficult for buyers to comparatively shop for cheaper tickets due to tight window periods to complete the purchase.
