Feds bust ticket brokers are accused of snapping up millions of Beyoncé and Post Malone tickets in a billion-dollar scheme

US federal authorities have charged a California-based ticket broker firm over an alleged billion-dollar reselling scheme targeting concerts including Beyoncé and Post Malone. A separate civil suit accuses the firm of running a $120m operation to hoover up tickets to Beyoncé and Pitbull shows before fans could buy them. The crackdown targets brokers accused of using automated tools to seize millions of tickets and flip them at inflated prices.
