The Supreme Court of Canada declines to hear Ticketmaster and Live Nation's appeal on class-action lawsuits alleging profiteering from ticket reselling using automated bots.

The Supreme Court of Canada has declined to hear an appeal from Ticketmaster and Live Nation regarding class-action lawsuits in multiple Canadian provinces. The companies face allegations of profiting from third-party ticket reselling, with accusations that they allowed resellers to use automated "ticket bots" to buy tickets beyond imposed individual limits. One class-action lawsuit filed in British Columbia claims that Ticketmaster facilitated ticket reselling while falsely promising the public a "fair opportunity" to buy tickets at face value. The case stems from allegations of mass ticket scalping in breach of Ticketmaster's own terms of use and policy.
