Paxton Investigates StubHub Amidst World Cup Ticket Chaos
Following widespread reports of World Cup ticket cancellations by StubHub, leaving fans without their purchased seats and impacting significant travel plans, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into the ticket resale company. The investigation stems from numerous complaints, including those highlighted by KPRC 2, detailing how customers bought tickets only to have orders canceled without adequate recourse. While StubHub cites transfer issues with FIFA’s platform, the Texas Attorney General’s office is examining potential “ghost ticketing” practices and urges affected Texans to file complaints. After the announcement of the investigation, one affected family received replacement tickets just in time for a local match.
