A Montreal man has filed a lawsuit against Ticketmaster over alleged price gouging for Drake's upcoming tour.
reports, the suit was filed by the law firm LPC Advocat Inc. on behalf of a Montreal man who bought two “Official Platinum” seats for Drake’s July 14 show at the Bell Centre for $789.54 each. The next day, according to the suit, Drake announced a second show at the Bell Centre and the price of those same seats dropped about $350.
The suit claims that Ticketmaster “intentionally misleads consumers for their own financial gain.” It goes on to allege that the company knew Drake would perform two shows in Montreal, but “concealed this information” to “squeeze out” money from fans.’s request for comment. LPC Advocat is angling to turn the lawsuit into class action complaint, which will have to be approved by the Quebec Superior Court. If it does go forward, the suit will seek $300 punitive damages for each customer who joins the class, as well as compensatory damages covering “the difference between prices charged for ‘Official Platinum’ tickets and what their regular prices out to have been.”
“Ticketmaster unilaterally decides which tickets it advertises and sells as ‘Official Platinum’ based on a given event,” the suit says. “The result is that most, if not all, of the tickets advertised and sold as ‘Official Platinum’ are neither ‘premium tickets’ nor ‘some of the best seats in the house’ and are, in fact, just regular tickets sold by Ticketmaster at an artificially inflated premium in bad faith.
