Ticketmaster Must Face FTC Scalping Lawsuit

Original: ticketmaster

A US judge has ruled that Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation cannot dismiss a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit accusing them of enabling ticket scalping. The ruling follows reporting that a Ticketmaster executive acknowledged the company turned a 'blind eye' to brokers using bots to buy up tickets. The case, brought under consumer protection and ticketing rules, will now proceed, keeping scrutiny on the ticketing giant's practices.

Why now: The court's refusal to dismiss the FTC case puts Ticketmaster's alleged tolerance of scalpers back in the spotlight.
