Ticketmaster在联邦贸易委员会诉讼中采取措施打击黄牛票

摘要

Ticketmaster宣布采取新的反黄牛措施,以应对联邦贸易委员会(FTC)指控其与转售商合作抬高票价的诉讼。

Ticketmaster推出了旨在遏制黄牛票的新措施,包括禁止用户和经纪人创建多个账户、要求转售商进行纳税人身份验证,以及采用人工智能工具快速识别并取消由机器人购买的票务。此举正值联邦贸易委员会(FTC)提起诉讼,指控Ticketmaster与转售商合作抬高票价。

Ticketmaster执行副总裁Dan Wall在致国会的信中表示,公司致力于提高直接销售给真正粉丝的票务比例。信中还强调,Ticketmaster在打击机器人和确保票务流向真实粉丝方面所做的努力超过任何其他实体。

作为这些努力的一部分,Ticketmaster将停止使用TradeDesk,这是一款允许转售商管理票务销售的工具。虽然公司否认TradeDesk被用来误导客户,但承认其转售做法需要进行改变。

FTC的诉讼指控Ticketmaster及其母公司Live Nation允许经纪人绕过购票限制,从中牟取高价转售利润,并通过在购买的最后阶段才显示强制性费用的方式,实施欺骗性定价行为。

针对Ticketmaster的声明,全国独立场馆协会批评该公司的行动不足且为时已晚,称这似乎是试图修复在FTC案件后受损的公众形象。该协会呼吁自愿将转售票价上限限定为不超过原票面价值。

同样,全国独立艺人协会表示,Ticketmaster及其他平台不应进行高于票面价的票务转售,强调此类做法损害了艺术家和粉丝的利益。该协会对FTC的努力促使Ticketmaster通过取消多个经纪人账户和加强机器人清理工作而改革系统表示鼓励。
