StubHub Under Fire Over Ghost Tickets | Jacksonville News

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is launching an investigation into StubHub after thousands of World Cup fans lost tickets—sometimes just hours before kickoff—leading to financial losses and sparking outrage. Dubbed “ghost ticketing,” the scheme involves sellers listing fake tickets, taking payments, and vanishing. While StubHub blames FIFA’s platform transfer issues, critics argue the timing and scale point to deeper problems. FIFA itself warns against third-party sites, urging fans to buy only through official channels. StubHub’s FanProtect Guarantee offers some recourse, but with complaints flooding in and cancellations happening at critical moments, consumer watchdogs are sounding the alarm on the chaotic, high-stakes world of secondary ticket sales.
