Taylor Swift Fans Sue Ticketmaster Over Chaotic Eras Tour Ticket Sales, Fans Take Ticketmaster To Court

In Los Angeles on Monday, fans of Taylor Swift attended a court hearing to confront Ticketmaster over its mishandling of online sales for the pop star’s latest tour. The ticketing giant and its parent company, Live Nation, are facing a lawsuit from Swifties across the United States filed in December, alleging “unlawful conduct” during the tour’s chaotic ticket sale.

The plaintiffs claim that Ticketmaster violated antitrust laws, among other allegations. Today’s hearing focused on procedural arguments and class action status. While the defense did not request class action, they reserved the right to do so. The plaintiffs are seeking a minimum of $2,500 in damages each from Ticketmaster. However, lead plaintiff Julie Barfuss of Salt Lake City stated that the case is about providing everyday fans with better opportunities to see their favorite performers.

Barfuss recounted her own struggle to obtain tickets, having attempted to purchase them 41 times on the first day of the sale, only to be repeatedly kicked out of the queue and confronted with errors. She then spent several more hours on the second day, finally managing to get through, only to find that the tickets she wanted were priced at $1,400.

Billy Joel’s Refusal to Sell Certain Tickets Costs Him Over $20,000 per Concert

Billy Joel, a classic rock icon, remains a highly popular concert performer, known for his sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and worldwide tours. Despite earning a considerable sum from his live performances, Joel refuses to sell a specific type of ticket, causing him to lose over $20,000 for each show.

Joel’s love for his hometown, New York City, is evident in his concert locations. He almost exclusively performs in Manhattan, particularly at the 20,000-seat Madison Square Garden, where he has played at least one show every month since 2014.

However, when not performing in New York, he plays in packed stadiums across the globe, from Dublin to Las Vegas, London to Los Angeles, and from Mexico City to Melbourne, selling millions of dollars’ worth of tickets per show.

Michigan State Police confirmed, Michigan rappers killed in gang-related violence

Michigan State Police investigators announced on Friday that the triple homicide in which three rappers were killed earlier this year in suburban Detroit was the result of gang violence and not related to music, in order to counter false rumors.

The bodies of Armani Kelly, Montoya Givens, and Dante Wicker were discovered on February 2nd in an abandoned apartment building in Highland Park, about 6 miles northwest of Detroit.

The Michigan State Police took to Twitter to clarify that the incident was a gang-related crime, stating, “This was a gang violence related incident” and adding that it had no connection “with music or a performance.” Lorrie Kemp, Armani Kelly’s mother, did not dispute the gang-related explanation, and had previously alleged in February that her son’s time in prison led to gang-related retaliation.
