LOS ANGELES — After the Ticketmaster meltdown last fall, Swifties with bad blood are on tour. Their most recent stop: Los Angeles.
About a dozen aggrieved fans traveled from across the United States to downtown Los Angeles to testify in a federal civil lawsuit against Ticketmaster, which was filed in L.A. County in December. More than 300 plaintiffs are accusing Live Nation Entertainment, Ticketmaster's parent company, of fraud, price-fixing, antitrust-law violations and misleading buyers while selling advance tickets to pop superstar Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour."
After the hearing, fans huddled at the steps of the federal courthouse for a rally, holding homemade signs that contained barbs aimed at Ticketmaster.
