Fans get pranked with bogus ticket fees and then rewarded with upgrades

As the price of tickets creeps higher and higher, StubHub decided to have a little fun with some fans at recent USC and Los Angeles Kings games, adding airline-style upcharges and fees on to the standard ticket price.

As the price of tickets creeps higher and higher, StubHub decided to have a little fun with some fans at a recent USC game, adding airline-style upcharges and fees to the standard ticket price.

Fans quickly become incredulous when they hear their ticket is only good for the first half, or that they will be charged extra for using the bathroom.

The prank comes with a big payoff for the victims however, as after messing with the ticketholders' heads for a little while, StubHub presents them with upgraded seats.
