Ticketmaster to buy TicketsNow
Ticketmaster has agreed to buy TicketsNow, an independent web-based resale marketplace for music, sports and other live entertainment event tickets, the company said Tuesday.
Two New Jersey music fans are taking on Ticketmaster in a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of anyone who visited the company's Web site for tickets to see Britney Spears, The Dead, Phish, Hannah Montana and others -- only to be redirected to a subsidiary that sold them the tickets at much higher prices.
