VERBATIM: Attorney General Brian Schwalb is accusing the ticket resale platform of advertising deceptively low prices and then ramping up prices with extra fees. Schwalb says the practice, known as “drip pricing,” violates consumer protection laws in the nation’s capital. The lawsuit says StubHub has sold nearly 5 million tickets in Washington since implementing the practice in 2015 and reaped about $118 million in fees.
