What this case is about

Consumers are suing StubHub, a major ticket resale marketplace, alleging that the company engaged in deceptive pricing practices by advertising ticket prices that did not reflect the true total cost consumers would pay. The plaintiffs claim that StubHub displayed artificially low base prices and then added significant fees — such as service charges and other add-ons — only at the final stage of checkout, misleading buyers about the actual cost of tickets. This practice, sometimes called 'drip pricing' or hidden fees, allegedly caused consumers to pay more than they anticipated or were led to believe they would pay. The proposed class consists of consumers who purchased tickets through StubHub and were subjected to these undisclosed or deceptively disclosed fees during the checkout process.
