| StubHub Holdings, Inc. filed by Parness Law Firm, PLLC · Judge Jed Saul Rakoff · No. 1:26-cv-05880 · 28:1332fr Diversity-Fraud Outlook: mixed · est. $2.50M–$200M ▾Drip-pricing/false advertising claims often survive dismissal as in Hettinger v. Bozzuto, but literal-falsity pleading hurdles from KetoNatural show mixed outcomes depending on statement specificity. Est. value $2.50M–$200M = P(survival) × class × per-member Survival: ~50% — comparable rulings show partial survival (KetoNatural, Hettinger) but also full dismissals (Mehl) Class size: 500,000–5,000,000 — StubHub's large ticket-transaction volume per Similarweb/Crunchbase traffic and revenue data Per member: $5–$40 — Restitution/price-premium anchor for hidden fees, discounted to typical 10-20% settlement realization Key precedent: Hettinger v. Bozzuto Management Co. - drip-pricing claims survived and were certified as a damages class, directly analogous to StubHub fee-disclosure theory. Main risk: Dismissal of specific pricing statements as non-actionable opinion or puffery, as seen with non-commercial-speech dismissals in KetoNatural. Small comparable sample and lack of case-specific facts (e.g., exact fee-disclosure claims) limit precision; estimates are order-of-magnitude only. · grounded in 4 rulings + 8 settlements | Filing | False Advertising | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-07-13 | $2.50M–$200M est. value |
