The lawsuit alleges StubHub engaged in "false and misleading" sales practices, leaving customers without tickets they purchased for World Cup group stage matches. Plaintiffs claim they are among potentially thousands of fans who bought tickets that either did not exist, were revoked, or erased, citing FIFA's description of "poor digital infrastructure." Beyond seeking monetary damages, the lawsuit requests that StubHub be prohibited from selling World Cup tickets and that any profits from such sales be distributed to affected customers. StubHub stated its "FanProtect Guarantee" offers replacements or full refunds and attributed issues to the event organizer's ticketing infrastructure, while FIFA denies its system is at fault for third-party platform problems.
