The ticket exchange website StubHub may be in serious trouble because of allegations that they sold tickets for Tottenham vs. Liverpool that were not functional to a lawyer in New York.
According to a report released by Bloomberg on November 22, Daniel Kaiser, a native of Brooklyn, reportedly had his ticket not scan on September 30, the day of Spurs’ Premier League match against the Reds, and was therefore denied entry into England. He is now suing the large ticket vendor.
He is accusing StubHub, a multibillionaire company, of “fraud and breach of contract for selling and promoting fraudulent tickets,” claiming he was told multiple times that his ticket for the game was 100% guaranteed.
When his tickets did not scan at the gates, Kaiser claims a staff member at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium told him that StubHub was “not authorised to act as a broker for the stadium.” Apparently, a Spurs employee also told him that “previous StubHub customers had identical experiences.”
Visitors are advised not to buy tickets from any StubHub website worldwide by the official Tottenham website. The Spurs recommend against using StubHub. Viagogo is the company that owns it; it purchased the website from eBay in 2020 for an estimated $4 billion.
Kaiser seems to be trying to file a class action lawsuit against StubHub, which suggests he is looking for other customers who bought tickets from them but were not successful.
Despite the allegations, Bloomberg reports that the ticketing website under investigation is still taking orders for this weekend’s Spurs vs. Aston Villa match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Bloomberg reached out to StubHub, a US-based company with its headquarters located in Utah, seeking a response, but as of this writing, they had not received one.

A prominent team appears to be thinking of offloading their “high energy” player to Tottenham as they open up to a deal.
Spurs are getting closer to the crucial January window.
January will be a crucial month for Johan Lange, Spurs’ newly appointed sporting director, as he handles his first transfer window at N17. The former worker for Aston Villa in north London, who signed players like Ollie Watkins, Matty Cash, and World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, will be hoping to build on his success in the past.
In order to help Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou with his injury and suspension problems, Lange, an Australian, is anticipated to bring in new players.
Spurs are looking for a new centre back and winger.
According to reports, the Lilywhites are keen to add a left-sided centre defender and winger to their roster this winter. Many people are familiar with the tale of Spurs’ hunt for a defensive replacement for van de Ven. Lange is reportedly targeting Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly, while Tottenham is reportedly considering Ben Godfrey of Everton.
Postecoglou now has just Bryan Gil, Brennan Johnson, and Dejan Kulusevski as his available wide-attacking players due to injuries to Ivan Perisic, Richarlison, and Manor Solomon.
Consequently, Samuel Iling-Junior of Juventus is of interest to the Spurs; this week, the Italian news source Calciomercato provided an update on the situation.
Juve “open” to Iling-Junior deal
They claim that as Spurs circle for Iling-Junior’s signature, Juventus is “open” to selling him. With Juve sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli identifying the 20-year-old as a top contender to be sold, the player, who has played a minor part under Massimiliano Allegri this term, is now on the cutting board.
In order to fund their own transfer plans, the Serie A powerhouses must raise money, and Iling-Junior is keen to try to get into more games.
Thus, as Tottenham waits in the wings, Juventus is open to making a trade. Good news for Lange and company: Allegri’s team has offered a reasonable £17.3 million to let him leave.
Iling-Junior, a former Chelsea academy prospect, hasn’t had many opportunities to play this season, but journalist Michele Neri recently asserted that after making an impression in his short appearances, he is actually becoming somewhat of a fan favourite. Meanwhile, journalist Antonio Mango has given the winger excellent marks as a player “to watch,” highlighting his “dreamy” ball skills and “high energy.”
