Taylor Swift fans are fighting back against Ticketmaster after last month's ticketing debacle, WTVF reports. The suit, filed last week in California by 26 fans, alleges the company engaged in fraud, price fixing and antitrust violations. Some fans say they waited eight hours and still were unable to buy tickets, blaming Ticketmaster for allowing scalpers and bots access to the presale portal before them. The complaint seeks a civil fine of $2,500 per violation and attorneys’ fees. State and federal officials also have responded. The Tennessee attorney general previously announced an investigation into the matter while U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn has asked the FTC to combat the use of bots.
