A new class action lawsuit alleges that Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation, failed to properly secure and safeguard the personally identifiable information (PII) of hundreds of millions of individuals during a recent data breach.ย
Plaintiffs Shannon Spencer, Gerry Mcauley and Ryan Jossartโs class action lawsuit claims the Ticketmaster data breach directly resulted from the companyโs failure to implement โadequate and reasonable cyber-security procedures and protocols.โย
โDefendants disregarded the rights of Plaintiffs and Class Members by, among other things, intentionally, willfully, recklessly, or negligently failing to take adequate and reasonable measures to ensure its data systems were protected against unauthorized intrusions,โ the Ticketmaster class action says.ย
Spencer, Mcauley and Jossart want to represent a nationwide class of individuals whose PII was accessed and/or acquired by an unauthorized party due to the data breach.ย
Consumers at โheightened,โ โimminent,โ risk of fraud due to Ticketmaster data breach, class action claims
Spencer, Mcauley, and Jossart argue that the data breach has exposed them and other affected consumers to a โheightened and imminentโ risk of fraud and identity theft.ย
โPlaintiffs and Class Members must now and in the future closely monitor their financial accounts to guard against identity theft,โ the Ticketmaster class action says.ย
Spencer, Mcauley and Jossart claim Ticketmaster and Live Nation are guilty of negligence and negligence per se, unjust enrichment and breach of implied contract, and violating Californiaโs Unfair Competition Law.ย ย
The plaintiffs demand a jury trial and request declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of actual, nominal, statutory, consequential and punitive damages for themselves and all class members.ย

Add me
I received a letter from Ticketmaster regarding this, please add me
What can I do if i received a data breach letter and do not live in California?
Please add me
You donโt get added to a lawsuit by saying please add me. It never works that way. You have to add yourself if you want to be part of a class action lawsuit. Saying I add me in the comment section of an article is not ever seen by the judge filing the lawsuit. You have to do the footwork yourself. Also this is a lawsuit filed only in California so if you donโt live in California you canโt add yourself because only those living in California can qualify.
add me
I also got a notification from Ticketmaster that my data was leaked. I bought concert tickets through Ticketmaster and through the Live Nation app.
I also received a letter with enrolled modification services, is this something that we are supposed to be doing at this time?
I received a letter from ticket master stating my info was breached
I purchased tickets through Ticketmaster March 2024.
I received a letter today from Ticketmasters regarding the data breach and that my information was part of it
My tickets were also stolen and resold and ticket master will not return them to me as they say they only sell verified tickets. The tickets I was able to receive back are now locked and I can not get them to produce a bar code and when I transferred them as to not lose anymore of my tickets they can not be accessed in the new ticket master account and are coming up as sold on my end. Now they are not responding to any of my inquiries regarding my tickets. They need to do better.
