I only know them as ‘a vendor that handles ticket sales’ (I think?) and am trying to imagine a ‘class action lawsuit’ such a vendor could be involved in, and which side it could come from? Venues? Touring acts? Audiences? All of the above?
How could a middleman be sued by a class unless they were surreptitiously skimming or ripping off those they serve?

Apparently scams faking digital tickets is way common.
Jakub Narębski@markhurst @pluralistic I hope that they are hit with the deluge of arbitrations, and are forced to pay a ton of money to the arbitration firm for it (like AFAIK it happened Twitter/X).
artemismucaj@markhurst @pluralistic it’s time to embrace #mobilizon
Jarjantifa@markhurst How is that kind of crap even legal?
People should have the right to seek any legal action they need, it should be illegal to "waive" that in a contract.
