Fans sue StubHub over missing World Cup tickets in legal battle

Football fans have taken legal action against StubHub Inc., alleging that the ticket resale platform failed to provide the costly World Cup tickets they purchased. The lawsuit accuses StubHub of withholding the expensive passes that supporters expected for the tournament.

The plaintiffs identify themselves as football supporters who bought tickets through the secondary market. They claim the tickets were never delivered despite payment.

StubHub Inc. is a global ticket resale platform that facilitates transactions between sellers and buyers. The platform's role in the alleged non‑delivery is central to the complaint.

The disputed tickets were priced at a premium, reflecting the high demand for World Cup matches. Fans argue that the price they paid did not translate into receipt of the promised seats.
