StubHub World Cup ticket complaints under investigation in B.C.
Consumer Protection BC is reviewing complaints from buyers who say StubHub did not deliver FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets, while officials say refunds may be available.
- On Friday, Consumer Protection BC began investigating ticket reseller StubHub following reports that British Columbia residents failed to receive FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets purchased through the platform.
- Attorney General Niki Sharma called the reports "deeply concerning" on Friday, saying The Ministry is probing whether StubHub violated provincial laws regarding ticket ownership and resale practices.
- Administering the Ticket Sales Act, Consumer Protection ensures transparency by banning the sale of tickets a business does not actually own or control, Sharma explained.
- Consumers who did not receive tickets may cancel their purchase, with the service provider required to issue a refund within 15 days of cancellation.
- The Ministry encourages consumers to contact their credit card provider for a charge reversal if refunds remain outstanding, while officials continue monitoring the situation to support consumers.
