LITTLE ROCK — Lawyers for Ticketmaster and its parent company want the Arkansas Supreme Court to rehear a case about ticket fees.
The state’s highest court ruled last month that Arkansas’ law on deceptive trade practices applies to Ticketmaster and Live Nation Entertainment Inc., but attorneys for the companies disagree.
The case began after Corey McMillan of Arkadelphia said he was charged nearly $50 in fees to buy four tickets to see country music singer Jason Aldean in concert. McMillan sued, arguing that Ticketmaster violated the state’s law on deceptive trade practices. Ticketmaster took the case to federal court, where a judge asked the Supreme Court to figure out whether state law applies to entities such as Ticketmaster.
The high court will have to decide whether to rehear the case.
