FTC sues reseller for faking accounts to grab Taylor Swift Eras tickets

Federal regulators are suing a ticket broker they say used fake accounts to snag Eras Tour tickets and sell them at a markup. Hot on the heels of Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" announcement, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint in Maryland federal court on Aug. 18. The paperwork accused ticket reseller Key Investment Group of using thousands of fake or purchased Ticketmaster accounts to snag tickets to events and resell them at higher rates. The FTC said for one of the Eras concerts, the Baltimore-based company deployed 49 different accounts to seize 273 tickets, evading the six-ticket purchase limit. Key Investment Group operates resale sites such as Ticketmaster faced intense criticism after its botched 2022 sale of tickets to Swift's much-hyped Eras Tour, when billions of fans, bots and resellers overwhelmed the site. The company was forced to cancel a planned general public sale. Taylor Swift speaks out after Ticketmaster cancels her tour's general ticket sale: 'It pisses me off' "There are a multitude of reasons why people had such a hard time trying to get tickets and I'm trying to figure out how this situation can be improved moving forward," Swift posted to her Instagram story. "I'm not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could. It's truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them." FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said in a statement that the lawsuit against Key Investment Group puts ticket sellers on notice that the agency will target those who "circumvent ticketing platforms' limits on ticket sales." The action is part of a broader crackdown President Donald Trump announced in March aimed at curbing exploitative reselling practices that raise costs for fans. Taylor Swift 'New Heights' highlights: Eras Tour inspired new album, no extra tracks, more Key Investment Group sued the FTC in July to block the investigation, saying its purchases did not involve automated software or bots and did not violate the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act. The company said in its lawsuit that the FTC has made it clear "they intend to use the BOTS Act to shut down the entire secondary-ticket market." On Monday, the FTC accused Key Investment Group and three of its executives of violating the BOTS Act as well as the FTC Act, which prohibits unfair and deceptive business practices. Meanwhile, Ticketmaster and its parent, Live Nation Entertainment, are fighting a separate U.S. antitrust lawsuit alleging the company monopolized markets across the live concert industry.

Torchy's Tacos closing two Richmond-area locations

The Carytown and Midlothian locations of Torchy's Tacos will close next week, according to signs posted on the restaurants' doors. Why it matters: That'll leave the Austin-based taco chain with just one local outpost, Short Pump, just two years after it entered the Richmond market. State of play: Torchy's Carytown and Midlothian locations will close at the end of service on Tuesday, Aug. 26, per the signs posted. It's unclear why those two stores are closing while the Short Pump spot will remain open. Torchy's corporate office didn't respond to Axios' request for comment. Context: The move comes as fast-casual restaurants overall are experiencing a downturn in sales, driven by economic concerns, especially among fast-casual-loving Gen Z, Axios' Nathan Bomey reported last week. Flashback: Torchy's opened its first Richmond location in January 2023 in Short Pump, followed soon after they the one in Carytown Exchange, a $40 million shopping center that debuted in 2020 at the top of the retail strip historically dominated by locally owned businesses.
