어떤 발표인가

• The complaint , filed by the Department of Justice upon notification and referral from the FTC, alleges REPS, along with its CEO Ryan Pancheri, President Brian Archibald and Chief Operating Officer Nicholas Totagrande, violated the Better Online Ticket Sales Act.
• The law makes it illegal to “circumvent a security measure, access control system or other technological control or measure on an Internet website or online service that is used by the ticket issuer to enforce posted event ticket limits or to maintain the integrity of posted online ticket purchasing order rules.” The complaint alleges that, since 2022, REPS and its operators used a variety of unlawful tactics to bypass security measures from ticket issuers in order to exceed ticket limits set by ticket issuers.
• REPS purchased more than eight tickets for at least 83,500 events—many of which were high demand and likely to sell out.
• REPS spent more than $1.3 billion to amass more than 18.5 million tickets for these events, generating at least $120.8 million in profit by reselling these tickets on the secondary marketplace.
• For example, REPS generated $833,000 in profit by using 1,300 accounts to purchase 7,624 tickets to just one Beyonce Renaissance tour concert in Kansas City, Mo., in 2023, according to the complaint.
