Ticketmaster faces FTC jury trial demand over resale claims

Ticketmaster and parent Live Nation now face a formal FTC demand for a jury trial in the agency's BOTS Act case, which alleges deceptive price listings, misleading ticket limits and $3.7 billion in resale fees collected from 2019 to 2024. A judge already denied the companies' motion to dismiss; they deny the claims and call the suit misguided. For touring artists, the outcome could reshape how resale and fees hit their fans.
