A New Jersey woman filed a class action suit against Live Nation on Thursday, reports Northjersey.com, alleging the tour promoter withheld more than 5 percent of tickets from the general public for Bruce Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball tour in 2012. The shows in question took place in April and September of that year at the Izod Center and the MetLife Stadium.
The alleged ticket withholding violates the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act of 2001 and resulted in consumers being forced “into a secondary market for the tickets to the concerts where they must pay substantially more than the ticket’s face value,” the plaintiff claims.
The class action suit was brought on behalf of all ticket buyers as well as those “who could not afford to purchase tickets.”
