By Brad Press, The Hill / In the Know | Taylor Swift fans filed a class-action lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment, the parent company of Ticketmaster, after widespread issues stopped many fans from getting tickets in a pre-sale event for an upcoming tour.
The lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles, charges Ticketmaster with several antitrust violations, fraud, breach of contract and intentional misinterpretation, among others
The plaintiffs were among the millions of verified users and Swift fans who joined the pre-sale event to purchase tickets for the upcoming “The Eras” tour, the pop singer’s first since the pandemic began.
But the plaintiffs say they lost out as bots and unverified users flooded the Ticketmaster website during the November event. Fans complained about frozen web pages, ticket delays and long queues.
Ticketmaster then canceled the general ticket sale.
Plaintiffs filed in California in part because the state is one of the friendliest to enforcing antitrust laws against corporations.
