Live Nation Must Face Class Action After Court Rules Ticket Agreements Invalid: ‘Opaque and Unfair’
Live Nation must case a class-action over high ticket prices, says a federal court, ruling it cannot enforce "unfair" agreements to end the lawsuit.
A federal appeals court says Live Nation and Ticketmaster must face a class action claiming they charged “extraordinarily high” prices to thousands of ticket buyers, ruling that the concert giants cannot enforce “opaque and unfair” user agreements to scuttle the lawsuit. Filed on behalf of “hundreds of thousands if not millions” of ticket buyers, the case claims Live Nation and Ticketmaster abused their dominance to charge “extraordinarily high” prices to consumers. “Defendants foresaw that if their motion to compel [arbitration] in that case were granted, they would be faced with a large number of parallel individual claims by ticket purchasers,” the appeals court wrote.
