Kelly Mongillo of Barrie, Ont., began frantically calling StubHub customer service in April to ask for assurances that her World Cup tickets were still valid.
Mongillo paid StubHub, a scalper resale website, $1,700 Cdn in August 2025 for two tickets, figuring she was getting a deal for a game in New Jersey on June 13. She grew up watching World Cup soccer with her father, Larry, and was planning the trip of a lifetime with the 72-year-old to watch Brazil play Morocco.
I don't want to be a buzzkill — we all have enough negativity as it is, after all — but this is just down the street from the World Cup celebration on Granville in Vancouver. I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't share it. People need to see this. pic.twitter.com/PHG5ogImq9
