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 latest major developments I can find related to Ticketmaster class action lawsuits (not a complete list, since multiple separate cases have been reported):
Antitrust / “hidden fees” class action (U.S.)
- In Dec. 2025, a federal judge certified a nationwide class action against Live Nation Entertainment and Ticketmaster, allowing the case—alleging they used monopoly power to inflate ticket prices/fees—to proceed for a very large set of ticket purchases.[2][3]
- The reporting describes allegations including supracompetitive fees and pricing practices plaintiffs characterize as “drip pricing” (i.e., advertised price vs. higher total price after additional fees).[3][2]
“Drip pricing” / consumer-protection settlement (Canada)
- In late 2024, reporting indicated a Canada settlement connected to a Ticketmaster class action could advance toward approval/implementation, with the case tied to allegations about unfair “drip pricing” and additional fees.[1]
Other related consumer litigation
- There have also been reports of additional Ticketmaster class action activity in other areas, such as allegations about hidden online ticket fees.[8]
If you tell me which country/state you care about (U.S. vs. Canada, and your state if U.S.), and whether you mean the antitrust/fees case or a different Ticketmaster class action (e.g., data breach), I can narrow this to the most relevant “latest” update for you.
