A new class action lawsuit filed against Tickemaster on Thursday accuses the company of charging Quebec consumers abusive and disproportionate fees when selling their “Event Tickets.”
According to the law firm Paquette Gadler, which represents citizen Felipe Morales, Ticketmaster is violating the Consumer Protection Act, the Civil Code of Quebec and the Competition Act of Canada by imposing abusive fees on the sale of show tickets.
The class action request is aimed at consumers in Quebec who purchased tickets since July 26, 2021.
“This class action targets, among other things, the effect of dynamic pricing practices (” Dynamic Pricing “) on the amount of service fees of all kinds imposed on consumers when they purchase Ticketmaster event tickets, a practice which has been denounced in several Western countries,” we can read in a press release issued by the Paquette Gadler firm.
