Swifties aren't happy! Taylor Swift fans are suing Ticketmaster over the Eras Tour disaster

Suing Ticketmaster 

Over 20 persons were suing Ticketmaster when the website failed a few days ago while tickets for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour were being sold. According to TMZ, The Swifties, or as Taylor Swift followers are known, are suing Ticketmaster for "enabling bots and scalpers to foul up the November 15 presale event royally."

As per the reports

For tickets to Taylor Swift's tour, Ticketmaster offered a Verified Fan system that would have prohibited ticket sales on unofficial websites and restricted access to registered fans exclusively. According to reports, Swift's Tour tickets were reportedly available for over $20,000 on resale websites like Stubhub.
