February’s scandal over the scalping of Bruce Springsteen tickets has led to a class action suit in federal court in Trenton, N.J., alleging that Ticketmaster routinely diverts online purchasers to a higher-priced vendor that it owns.
The suit, filed Tuesday, comes two months after New Jersey’s attorney general entered a settlement with Ticketmaster to resolve more than 2,000 consumer complaints. Fans said that no sooner did the tickets to shows at the Izod Center in East Rutherford go on sale Feb. 2 than Ticketmaster’s Web site redirected them to the site of its reselling subsidiary TicketsNow, which offered seats at markups of hundreds of dollars for concerts not yet sold out.
