Ticketmaster to Ban Multiple Accounts and Shut Down TradeDesk Amid FTC Lawsuit
Ticketmaster announced it will ban users from having multiple accounts and will shut down its TradeDesk platform following a lawsuit by the FTC accusing the company of colluding with scalpers and violating the BOTS Act. The company claims these practices are standard industry behavior and denies the allegations, but acknowledges that the use of multiple accounts has been abused. The policy change aims to address concerns about scalping and protect the integrity of ticket sales.
