The FTC has sued Key Investment Group for allegedly circumventing Ticketmaster controls to purchase and resell over 2,000 tickets for Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour' at massive profits.

A Maryland ticket broker is accused of illegally purchasing and reselling hundreds of thousands of tickets for profit, including thousands to Taylor Swift's highly sought Eras Tour.

Key Investment Group said the FTC is misapplying the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, a 2016 law which it said was meant to target malicious software, not legitimate resale businesses. Key Investment Group sued the FTC in July to try to prevent the agency from using the law against it, saying it uses human employees — not bots — to buy tickets.
