The post FTC Sues Broker Who Allegedly Bought 400,000 Tickets to “The Eras Tour” and Other Concerts appeared first on Consequence. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sued a ticket reseller over an allegedly multi-million dollar scalping ring targeting major concerts and events,

The FTC has sued a ticket touting company that uses dubious tactics to access tickets, including using 49 Ticketmaster accounts to buy 273 tickets for one Taylor Swift show that had a six-tickets-per-person limit.

Under the FTC's interpretation, anyone who purchases more than four tickets or uses more than one account could be deemed in violation of federal law. That outcome is not only illogical, it is absurd.
