- chrismeller 7y agoSure, but as I said they already settled a lawsuit over the deceptiveness. So arguably that complaint is already out the window...
- geogriffin 7y agoTrue, and it seems as though to avoid this kind of litigation Ticketmaster simply had to disclose more information about the purpose and intent of the fees in the fine print. I also remember them changing the name "processing fee" to "convenience charge" maybe 10 years ago as result of (maybe this) lawsuit, but I can't find anything about that now.
