Taylor Swift's fans who could not acquire concert tickets for "The Eras Tour" last month sued Ticketmaster for anti-competitive conduct after the internet ticket market went berserk. Taylor Swift concert tickets are in high demand, so Ticketmaster cancels the public sale. Following the debacle surrounding the online ticket sales on November 15, 2016, 26 Taylor Swift supporters sued Live Nation's Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster was charged with fraud, price-fixing, antitrust crimes, and allowing more scalpers to obtain tickets after some people were unable to purchase The Eras Tour tickets. The case also covered giving out the presale codes that customers used to purchase tickets online. Even though there were a restricted number of seats available, the firm allegedly misled the fans by giving codes to 1.4 million registered supporters.

"Due to limited ticket releases, millions of fans had to wait up to eight hours to buy tickets. Ticketmaster supplied codes on purpose because it couldn't meet demand, "the complaint said. According to a story from Deadline, the complaint requested that the court fine Ticketmaster $2,500 for each infraction. One of the fans' attorneys, Jeniffer Kinder, stated that the court is anticipated to make a ruling on Monday.
