District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a consumer protection enforcement lawsuit Wednesday against StubHub Inc., accusing the online ticket exchange and resale platform of charging hidden fees in violation of the D.C. Consumer Protection Procedures Act.
“This consumer protection enforcement case seeks to remedy and end StubHub’s unfair and deceptive practice of charging hidden junk fees to consumers who purchase tickets on its website and mobile application,” according to the allegations in the complaint filed Wednesday in District of Columbia Superior Court.
