FTC and Four States Demand Jury Trial in Live Nation and Ticketmaster BOTS Act Lawsuit

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and four states—Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Nebraska—have formally demanded a jury trial in their ongoing lawsuit against Live Nation and its subsidiary, Ticketmaster. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act, claiming the companies knowingly allowed brokers to bypass ticket limits and then profited from resales. This demand signals a continued aggressive legal stance against the entertainment ticketing giants.
