U.S. Sues Ticket Broker Over Alleged 18.5 Million-Seat Scalping Scheme
The U.S. Department of Justice has sued a San Diego-area ticket broker firm, alleging it used thousands of accounts and technical workarounds to buy and resell millions of tickets for major tours, including Beyoncé and Post Malone, in violation of federal rules. Prosecutors say the operation generated roughly $120 million in illicit profits and exposed how industrial-scale ticket resale can distort access, pricing, and market integrity.
