Tennessee Attorney General (AG) Jonathan Skrmetti joined the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a bipartisan coalition of six other state attorneys general today in a lawsuit against Ticketmaster and its parent entity, Live Nation Entertainment. The suit alleges the companies engage in a ticket scalping scheme that locks out fans and drives up prices. The suit cites violations of the federal Better Online Ticket Sales Act (BOTS Act) and the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act. The coalition is seeking injunctive relief to stop the alleged practices and monetary relief to compensate harmed consumers. Read more in a press release from the AG’s office.
