I've been hearing about how corrupt Ticketmaster would be dismantled by government for well over 40 years. It will never happen.
If everyone, yes everyone, just committed to not purchasing tickets to ANY event from TM for a year, the problem would end. It will never happen.
The plaintiffs allege that Ticketmaster and Live Nation’s conduct amounts to a violation of the RICO Act. The legislation was famously used in the 1980s by the US Department of Justice to bring down high-ranking members of the New York mafia. 2/ https://wired.trib.al/BlO2bC4
In bringing a RICO claim, the fans are “attacking from different fronts,” opening up an additional possible avenue through which they could win a favorable ruling—and the compensation they claim to be owed, lawyers in the case say. 3/ https://wired.trib.al/BlO2bC4
Kudos to fans.
Ticketmaster has been caught out before.
I doubt the new Trump admin will stop it…They’re all too busy ripping off everyone for their financial gain with their own damn scams.
I am pinning to save it for my daughter. We were just talking about the issues with ticket scalping and why Taylor Swift tickets were so expensive. She’s 10 so it was a big introduction for her. She was asking why Swift let this happen and I told her I bet she would take legal action.
