In federal court in New York, a lawsuit has been filed against StubHub, alleging that online reseller did not fulfill its obligations to fans, through which the groups of matches at the World Cup were sold.

According to the lawsuit, Julie Riker Moghal and Ruben Rentería say that the company’s materials state that it offers “false and misleading” sales practices.

In particular, the lawsuit claims that Moghal and Rentería were unable to access their tickets on the platform, which were “did not exist, were revoked without any forewarning, or had been erased.” The plaintiffs also point to the FIFA organization’s “poor digital infrastructure.”

In response to the lawsuit, StubHub argued that it sells tickets for matches at the World Cup to fans via its partners.

StubHub denies the claims, saying that the company’s “singular goal is to get fans into events.” It also argues that the problem lies with FanProtect Guarantee, which, according to the company, is not implemented by StubHub but by FIFA.

The lawsuit also states that StubHub has problems with the infrastructure for ticketing organization by FIFA. FIFA argues in response that it does not have “visibility over, or control of” the third-party ticketing on FIFA platforms, and that the functionally is performed by FIFA’s infrastructure.

The lawsuit also says that the company’s materials state that it offers “significant complaints to StubHub,” and that this is due to the fact that the company has not responded.

In the lawsuit, Rentería alleges $2,294 for two tickets for the match on June 18: Messi—Pivdennaya Korea at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, while the tickets were not delivered. The lawsuit also states that it is not possible to get any refunds or other compensation.

The lawsuit also claims that the seller refused to provide any information about the status of the tickets and that the tickets were not delivered.
