1. Sutts, Strosberg LLP (Windsor and Toronto) and Branch MacMaster (Vancouver) are counsel in proposed class actions against Ticketmaster, TicketsNow and two other Ticketmaster companies.
2. The actions have been commenced on behalf of all persons in Canada who purchased a ticket from Ticketmaster or Ticketmaster Canada on or after February 9, 2007 and all persons who purchased a ticket from TicketsNow for an event in Ontario on or after February 9, 2007.
3. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants conspired to breach legislation in Ontario that regulates the price at which tickets can be sold.
4. The plaintiffs also allege that Ticketmaster has and continues to deliberately limit the number of tickets that are sold in the primary market at face price and instead, diverts tickets to its secondary market TicketsNow website where they can be sold for amounts that exceed their face value.
5. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, damages in an amount equal to the difference between the price the class members’ paid for the tickets and the face price of the tickets.
6. If you purchased a ticket from Ticketmaster for an event in Canada or from TicketsNow for an event in Ontario, we suggest you keep all ticket stubs or other documents that evidence your transaction with the defendants.
