Stone Church litigation against StubHub

Overview

The Stone Church, an independent music venue in Brattleboro, Vermont, filed a federal lawsuit in Manhattan against the ticket resale platform StubHub, seeking over $5 million in damages.

The venue alleges trademark infringement, false advertising, and deceptive marketing practices under the Lanham Act. Specific claims include the use of false scarcity warnings, deceptive “lowest price” badges on marked-up tickets, and the facilitation of speculative selling where brokers list tickets they do not own. This legal action follows the implementation of Vermont’s Act 109, which prohibits speculative sales and caps resale prices at 110 percent of the original price for certain independent venues.
