Not shaking it off! Taylor Swift fans face off with Ticketmaster in LA court over ‘excruciating’ tour ticket chaos as they seek ‘at least $2,500 each in damages
Taylor Swift fans headed to court in downtown Los Angeles on Monday to call out Ticketmaster for ‘unlawful conduct’ during the singer’s ‘excruciating’ tour sale.
After millions were left unable to buy tickets, around 320 Swifties filed a lawsuit against the world’s largest ticket marketplace and its parent-company, Live Nation, for ‘intentionally’ charging ‘sky high fees’ and selling the ‘tickets to scalpers.’
The plaintiffs, who are asking for at least $2,500 each in damages, also claimed that the ticketing giant violated antitrust laws, according to WSIL-TV.
At the status hearing, the ‘class action status was discussed’ and some arguments were heard by ‘disgruntled fans.’
Lead plaintiff Julie Barfuss, from Salt Lake City, vocalized her hopes that this case will help fans have better experiences trying to see their own favorite performers.
