According to the New York Times, Connecticut-based TicketNetwork and two of its affiliates have agreed to pay $1.4 million to settle state and federal complaints. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to pay $750,000 to a Connecticut fund for consumer education and enforcement.
The complaints stated TicketNetwork used deceptive marketing tactics when reselling entertainment tickets around the country. The company used websites that resembled the official websites of major performance venues (e.g., Radio City Music Hall).
TicketNetwork is the third-largest ticket resaler, behind StubHub and Ticketmaster.
Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection has the state's complaint and consent order on their website.
