More than two dozen Taylor Swift fans filed a lawsuit against Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation Entertainment for “unlawful conduct” in the disastrous on-sale for the singer’s 2023 tour dates.
Taylor Swift poses in the press room with the awards for artist of the year, favorite music video for"All Too Well: The Short Film," favorite female pop artist, favorite pop album for"Red ," favorite female country artist and favorite country album for"Red " at the American Music Awards on Nov. 20, 2022, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
The lawsuit, which was filed in California on Friday, echoes familiar complaints against Ticketmaster and Live Nation, claiming that the companies are anti-competitive and force fans to use its site exclusively, and control all registration and access to Swift’s tour, according to CNN. This latter claim is at least partially inaccurate, because six of the tour’s 52 dates are not controlled by Ticketmaster.
A total of 26 fans from all across the country filed the lawsuit; an attorney representing them told CNN it is waiting acceptance by the court clerk. When the tickets went on sale Nov. 15, the company’s website crashed because of the fan demand, while tons of fans who did get into the queue had to wait for over two hours to get a chance at purchasing tickets. Other fans were blindsided by being sent to a wait list.
