A new class action lawsuit alleges SeatGeek overcharges consumers for resale tickets to multiday or multievent concerts, entertainment events and recreational activities in Florida.
Plaintiff Max Weinstein filed the class action complaint against SeatGeek on Oct. 23 in Florida federal court, alleging violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
The lawsuit alleges SeatGeek charges consumers more than what is legally permissible for certain resale tickets in Florida.
Weinstein claims the company is charging customers more than $1 above the original ticket price for multiday or multievent tickets to concerts, entertainment events and recreational activities within parks or entertainment complexes in Florida.
SeatGeek resale prices violate Florida law, lawsuit claims
Florida law prohibits charging more than $1 above the original ticket price for such events, Weinstein argues. He claims SeatGeek’s pricing practices are not only unfair but also deceptive, as consumers are unaware they are being overcharged.
Weinstein claims he personally experienced this overcharging when he purchased tickets for the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix through SeatGeek’s website.
He says he paid a total of $539.28 in fees for his April 2025 purchase and $6,310.84 in fees for his May 2025 purchase, amounts he argues are significantly higher than what Florida law allows.
Weinstein wants to represent anyone who purchased resale tickets from SeatGeek’s website and paid more than $1 above the original seller’s price for a multiday or multievent ticket to a park or entertainment complex, or to a concert, entertainment event or recreational activity in a park or complex within Florida.
He is suing for violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and unjust enrichment and is seeking certification of the class action, damages, fees, costs and a jury trial.
Earlier this year, SeatGeek faced a class action lawsuit alleging it violated California law by installing tracers or pixels on its website to capture visitors’ phone numbers, email addresses and other personal information.
