StubHub refunded Taylor Swift fans after obstructed-view ticket complaints
StubHub ticket complaints spark B.C. scrutiny after Swift fans got bad views See what the regulator found and how refunds, credits, and disclosures changed
Consumer Protection B.C. investigated StubHub after dozens of Taylor Swift fans complained about tickets for the singer’s 2024 Vancouver Eras Tour shows that did not match the listings they bought. Many buyers said they expected at least some stage view, but instead found their seats had little or no view of the performance.
The documents show the regulator focused on whether StubHub clearly disclosed ticket details, including face value information and the right to a refund when tickets did not match their description. The company later agreed to offer refunds or credits to eligible buyers and to change how it presents ticket information in British Columbia.
The case has become a reference point for a new B.C. investigation into StubHub’s handling of World Cup ticket complaints. Consumer Protection B.C. says secondary ticket platforms must provide clear, easytounderstand information to buyers, while StubHub says it worked with the regulator and does not believe it violated the law.
