Issue 371: Take Action Over Ticketmaster Fees
We find ourselves mentioning Ticketmaster again in this issue, as attorneys investigate how the company administers its hefty fees.
www.classaction.orgHere are the most recent developments on Ticketmaster / Live Nation class-action litigation that have been widely reported:
Latest major case activity (U.S. antitrust class action)
- A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that an antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and Live Nation (over allegations that they used market power to inflate ticket prices/fees) can proceed as a class action, with Judge George Wu making the class-certification decision in December 2025.[3]
- Reporting around the same time says plaintiffs’ allegations go back to around 2010, and that the judge’s ruling raised the stakes because it would cover a large group of ticket buyers over many years.[4][3]
Another widely covered ticket-fees / “drip pricing” thread (Canada settlement)
- A separate news item (Canada) reported that a ticket-fees class action involving “drip pricing” (fees allegedly added late in the checkout flow) reached final stages, with a judge allowing a settlement to go forward around late 2024.[1]
Other related class actions people are tracking
- Ticketmaster has also faced other class-action exposure reported in the media, including litigation tied to a data breach (separate from pricing/fees antitrust claims).[6]
If you tell me which country you care about (U.S. vs Canada) and whether you mean fees/pricing (antitrust & “drip pricing”) or the data breach matter, I can narrow this to the single most relevant “latest news” thread.
