NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tennessee's attorney general has joined a sweeping federal lawsuit targeting Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation, accusing the companies of allowing ticket scalpers to drive up prices and shut out ordinary fans.

The case, filed in California, alleges that brokers created fake accounts, used software to flood the system with logins and hid behind proxy servers to dodge detection. It also alleged that they then bought more tickets than allowed and resold them at inflated prices.

The complaint argues that Ticketmaster not only ignored the schemes but sometimes facilitated resale on its own platform. Lawyers argued that it violates the federal BOTS Act.
