\n\tTicketmaster is facing a new class action lawsuit<\/a> over the pricing of tickets for Drake<\/a> and 21 Savage<\/a>\u2019s upcoming It\u2019s All A Blur Tour.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tLPC Avocat Inc., a law firm based in Montreal, Canada, filed the suit on Thursday (March 23) claiming the ticketing company \u201cintentionally misleads consumers for [its] own financial gain.\u201d According to the Toronto Star<\/a><\/em>, a Montreal man purchased two \u201cOfficial Platinum\u201d seats for Drake\u2019s July 14 concert at the Bell Centre, with each ticket costing $789.54. However, when a second show was added for July 15, Ticketmaster allegedly listed the same seats for $350 less.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\n\tLPC believes Ticketmaster knew about the July 15 show in advance, and withheld the information from consumers. The filing also alleges that the \u201cOfficial Platinum\u201d seats were just standard seats sold \u201cat an artificially inflated premium<\/a> in bad faith.\u201d Plaintiffs are requesting \u201ccompensatory damages<\/a> in the aggregate amount of the difference between the prices charged for \u2018Official Platinum\u2019 tickets and what their regular price ought to have been\u201d plus $300 each in punitive damages.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is the second major lawsuit against Ticketmaster since the December 2022 fiasco involving Taylor Swift\u2019s Era Tour. The company is now facing a congressional hearing<\/a> and antitrust investigation over an alleged abuse of power. <\/p>\n

\n\tDrake has not issued a statement regarding the matter, but did add more dates t<\/a>o the initial 29-date run. The It\u2019s All A Blur Tour is set to kick off in June in New Orleans and conclude in September. Since his last tour in 2018, the Toronto native has released four projects, and performed for a two-day takeover at The Apollo <\/a>Theater back in January. <\/p>\n
