StubHub is one of the nation’s largest ticket resellers. It sells tickets for live events including concerts, plays, and sports. StubHub has long been criticized for using “drip pricing” where a user buying a ticket online only sees the face value of the ticket, not including fees or other charges, until the very end of the process. Both New York and Nevada, states that host significant numbers of events, have state and city laws prohibiting drip pricing for ticket sales. For many years, however, the checkout process for tickets bought on StubHub did not disclose the full price of the ticket, including fees, until the last possible stage in the process.
StubHub switched to “all-in pricing” after the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) published a rule against drip pricing on May 12, 2025. However, this claim alleges that prior to this rule going into effect, StubHub was violating the New York and Nevada statutes, by revealing hefty fees late into a user’s purchasing process, long after the initial ticket price was disclosed.
If you bought a ticket using StubHub for an event that took place in either New York (including New York City) or Nevada (including Las Vegas) within the past three years, you may qualify for a claim under consumer protection law of up to $500 or more, depending on where you bought the ticket. The attorneys at Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP and Berger Montague, P.C., are representing consumers in claims against StubHub if they purchased tickets to events in either New York or Nevada between April 2022 and April 2025.
