IP Attorney Explains - Taylor Swift Stubhub [opoKYujm9iP]
A Taylor Swift fan spent 14,000 dollars on Eras Tour tickets, and hours before the show, everything changed. Alexis Christensen purchased three tickets from StubHub, only to be told just before the concert that those tickets were no longer available. She was given replacements worth only 3,600 dollars. Feeling robbed of a once in a lifetime experience, and after seeing StubHub pocket the 11,000 dollar difference, she took the company to court. Her attorney originally tried to bring the case as a class action to increase leverage against the multi billion dollar company. But here is the catch, every StubHub ticket comes with a disclaimer that waives the buyer's right to class action lawsuits. Because of that clause, the judge ruled her case must move forward through private arbitration, a closed door process that greatly reduces her leverage.
