Ticket reseller StubHub forced to repay 50,000 customers over drip pricing, as CMA hits it for £1.5M

StubHub UK has been slapped with a £900,000 fine by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and must refund over 50,000 customers a total of £590,000 due to deceptive drip pricing practices. The CMA found that StubHub misled customers by gradually increasing ticket prices, making it seem like they were getting a good deal until the final payment. This ruling highlights the importance of fair pricing transparency in e-commerce, ensuring consumers aren't unfairly manipulated.
