Taylor Swift Fans File Class Action Lawsuit Against Ticketmaster Over Tour Sale Issues

A group of Taylor Swift fans is suing Ticketmaster after a botched promotion for the music star’s Eras Tour concerts.

More than two dozen fans allege Ticketmaster violated antitrust laws designed to protect market competition, according to the lawsuit, obtained by Deadline and filed in a California court on Friday. 

The suit claims Ticketmaster provided pre-sale codes to fans even though the ticket seller knew it could not accommodate all orders for tickets to Swift’s performances. The plaintiffs also accuse the service, which is owned by Live Nation Entertainment, of selling a substantial number of tickets to scalpers and bots, leaving fewer seats for fans.
