A new lawsuit has been filed against Ticketmaster for allegedly price gauging concert tickets to Drake's upcoming tour
The firm, based in Montreal, claims that Ticketmaster “intentionally misleads consumers for [its] own financial gain.”states that a Montreal man purchased two “Official Platinum” seats, priced at $789.54 each, for Drake’s July 14 concert at Montreal’s Bell Centre. However, a day after the tickets went on sale , Ticketmaster allegedly added a second show in the city with the exact same seats priced around $350 less.
LPC Avocat Inc.’s lawsuit argues that Ticketmaster knew about Drake’s July 15 concert prior to the initial date tickets went on sale, but purposely withheld the information. Additionally, the suit claims that the “Official Platinum” seats were actually regular seats sold “at an artificially inflated premium in bad faith.”
According to the complaint, prosecutors are also seeking “compensatory damages in the aggregate amount of the difference between the prices charged for ‘Official Platinum’ tickets and what their regular price ought to have been.” Plus, they are seeking $300 per customer in punitive damages.
