- On Thursday, StubHub agreed to pay $10 million to settle Federal Trade Commission allegations that it failed to display full ticket prices to consumers.

- Under the settlement, StubHub must refund eligible customers within 90 days who purchased tickets during the three-day noncompliance window in May 2025, covering two customer groups affected by undisclosed fees.
- StubHub spokesperson stated the company 'strongly disagrees' with the FTC's view, while FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson emphasized the agency's commitment to ensuring consumers receive full price transparency.
- This enforcement action follows a March 2025 executive order from the Trump administration directing the FTC to ensure price transparency at all stages of the ticket-purchase process, signaling intensified regulatory scrutiny.
