Los Angeles Times
|August 20, 2024
Complaint alleges trio made millions off of concert seats on Ticketmaster.
TAYLOR Swift in Seattle in 2023 during her Eras Tour, which was marked by a ticket-sale fiasco.
The Federal Trade Commission accused a shadowy group of flooding Ticketmaster with fake accounts to purchase and resell tickets to concerts by Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and other top artists.
The FTC alleged that between Nov. 1, 2022, and Dec. 30, 2023, a core group of three individuals used a network of sites such as Totaltickets, TotallyTix and Front Rose Tix to purchase at least 379,776 tickets from Ticketmaster, spending nearly $57 million. The complaint states they then resold those tickets on secondary marketplaces for nearly $64 million.
