Ticketmaster knew we resold tickets – defendant

In a recent court case, the defendant claimed that Ticketmaster was well aware of the fact that they were reselling tickets purchased through the platform. The defendant argued that Ticketmaster’s terms and conditions did not explicitly prohibit ticket resale, and that they had been allowed to continue their business operations without interference.

The case has raised questions about the legality of ticket resale and the responsibilities of ticketing platforms to monitor and regulate the secondary ticket market. Supporters of the defendant argue that ticket resale provides a valuable service to consumers by allowing them to recoup their costs or purchase tickets at a fair market value.

On the other hand, critics of ticket resale argue that it contributes to price inflation and unfair access to tickets for popular events. They believe that ticketing platforms should take a more proactive role in preventing ticket scalping and ensuring that tickets are sold at face value.

As the case continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how the court rules on the issue of ticket resale and the responsibilities of ticketing platforms. In the meantime, consumers are advised to familiarize themselves with the terms and conditions of ticketing platforms and to be aware of the risks and potential consequences of reselling tickets.
