The buyer made the mistake of thinking he was dealing with StubHub rather than the seller. If he had been smart, he would have asked asked StubHub for the seller&#x27;s details with the comment that he would be filing suit against either StubHub or the seller.<p>StubHub is a marketplace and sellers frequently sell tickets they don&#x27;t own. This works out because tickets frequently drop in price shortly before the game and, for the times that they don&#x27;t, sellers usually eat the loss. But this seller decided not to deliver and, for that, they should be sued. The equivalent in the stock market would be to short a stock and then not pay up when the stock quadrupled. Given that the value of the loss suffered by the buyer is roughly $5k ($6k tickets less ~$k credit at StubHub), it&#x27;s a good candidate for small claims court.
