FTC Sues Ticketmaster, Live Nation Over Resale Practices

WASHINGTON DC –  The FTC is going after Ticketmaster and Live Nation over ticket resale practices.  In a lawsuit filed in California Thursday, the FTC accused Ticketmaster and its parent company of illegal and deceptive business practices that have caused customers to pay “significantly more” than a ticket’s face value.  The FTC alleges those practices include allowing brokers to violate ticket purchase limits and resell those tickets on its platform.  Seven states joined the lawsuit — Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nebraska, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia.  Ticketmaster has faced government scrutiny since its botched Taylor Swift tickets on sale in 2022.
