Washington, D.C., attorney general sues StubHub, alleging deceptive pricing

The D.C. attorney general alleges StubHub adds on fees without explaining them, in a suit the comes amid a broader outcry over "junk" fees.

In a statement responding to the lawsuit, StubHub said it strongly supports federal and state proposals that enhance existing laws to empower consumers, such as requiring all-in pricing uniformly across platforms. We are disappointed that the DC Attorney General is targeting StubHub when our user experience is consistent with the law, our competitors' practices, and the broader e-commerce sector," the company said. "The District of Columbia is particularly impacted by StubHub's illegal conduct, as residents and visitors spend more per capita on live entertainment in Washington, D.C., than those in many other U.S. cities," the AG's office said.
