What Did Posh Group Actually Do?

Posh Group Inc. is a social ticketing platform that lets organizers sell tickets to nightlife events, parties, and live experiences. The company’s model charges roughly a 10% cut on paid tickets plus a 99-cent fee per ticket as its primary revenue stream.

The lawsuit, filed as Rahil Doctor v. Posh Group Inc. (Case No. 25STCV21463) in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, claims Posh went further than disclosed. The plaintiff contends that Posh charged California residents fees — excluding mandatory taxes — that were not included in the advertised ticket price. Customers would see a ticket price, go through checkout, and only then discover additional charges they never agreed to upfront.

The plaintiff argued this practice was misleading and violated California State consumer protection laws. Posh denies all wrongdoing, but chose to settle rather than continue through trial.

This is part of a broader crackdown on hidden ticketing fees across the industry. StubHub recently agreed to pay $10 million to the FTC for similarly failing to clearly disclose the full price of tickets upfront, with regulators citing violations of the FTC’s Fees Rule that took effect in May 2025.
