Angry Swifties vs Ticketmaster

2022-11-22 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 30 Comments
According to multiple sources, Taylor Swift's fans (mostly lawyers) are not letting the recent controversy with Ticketmaster go and are organizing a joint campaign against the company. The angry Swifties joined a group chat called 'Vigilante Legal' created by lawyer Blake Barnett, who tweeted on November 16th:

"Calling all swiftie lawyers: lmk [let me know] if you wanna be added to a GC to brainstorm if there’s anything we can do to take action against @ticketmaster."

The 'Vigilante Legal' group is now a full-fledged limited liability company (LLC). Blake Barnett comments: "Something needs to be done. They’re violating antitrust laws. The monopoly merger [in 2010] should have never been allowed to happen between Live Nation and Ticketmaster."



This urban drama comes after the ticket sales fiasco of the artist's tour, whose huge demand (14 million hits) led to the cancellation of sales on November 17th. Ticketmaster released the following statement: "We want to apologize to Taylor and all her fans, especially those who had a terrible experience trying to purchase tickets. We estimate about 15% of interactions across the site experienced issues, and that’s 15% too many, including passcode validation errors that caused fans to lose tickets they had carted."

Taylor Swift addressed the issue via Instagram: "We asked [Ticketmaster] multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they would."

The 'Vigilante Legal' group hopes its action can "effect real change across the music industry."

"I want to see an anchorman style standoff between the angry swifties, tool army, juggalos and anyone who still listens to chris brown"

"don't forget Ghost ghouls"

Suddenly, Fred Durst makes a cameo–and what do ya do then?

"if the swifties could continue to do cool anticapitalist aktion that'd be great" [1000] And then Taylor goes full-on punk, touring with the likes of Leftover Crack and Show Me the Body

On one hand Fuck Ticketmaster and Monopolies.

On the other hand Taylor Swift and a large portion of her fans are unbearable.
