Ticketmaster is denying allegations that it is colluding with scalpers.
In a statement issued Thursday morning, Ticketmaster denied the allegations following two stories published by CBC and the Toronto Star this week.
The outlets sent two undercover reporters to a live-entertainment conference in July, where representatives for Ticketmaster, which is owned by the live-entertainment giant Live Nation, pitched them on TradeDesk, the company’s invite-only proprietary platform for reselling tickets, and an employee was captured on camera saying that Ticketmaster’s “buyer abuse” team will look the other way when certain practices that the company publicly forbids take place on its own platforms.
Along with denying the allegations, the company also said it had already begun an internal review of its reseller accounts prior to the articles’ publication.
