Springsteen fans have an especially large beef and reason for outrage, based on the ticketsnow.com re-routing during last week's onsales.

This lawsuit in Canada seems a bit frivolous, since the re-selling of tickets above face value is legal in most cases.

In the end, I think that Live Nation/Ticketmaster will have to ditch ticketsnow.com in order to get the merger to go through. There's just too much of a conflict of interest to plausibly rationalize its existence.
