Class action lawsuit filed against Ticketmaster in Quebec

A new class action lawsuit was filed against Ticketmaster on Thursday.

The company is accused of charging Quebec consumers abusive and disproportionate fees when selling their “Event Tickets.”

According to the Paquette Gadler law firm, currently representing Felipe Morales, Ticketmaster violated the Consumer Protection Act, the Civil Code of Quebec, and the Competition Act of Canada by imposing large fees during ticket sales.

The class action request targets consumers in Quebec who purchased tickets as of July 26, 2021.

“This class action targets, among other things, the effect of dynamic pricing practices on the amount of service fees that are imposed on consumers when they purchase Ticketmaster event tickets, a practice that is denounced in several Western countries,” read a press release by the Paquette Gadler firm.
