\n\tTHE BIG STORY:<\/strong> Taylor Swift\u2019s Eras Tour was so big that it has developed its own legal system.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith a record-shattering haul of more than $2 billion face-value ticket sales \u2014 and many times that in the secondary market \u2014 it\u2019s not surprising that legal disputes have broken out. Don\u2019t forget the old adage in the music industry: \u201cIf you write a hit, you get a writ.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt started immediately after the chaotic pre-sale, when Swift fans filed class actions against Ticketmaster, accusing the company of causing the \u201cdisaster\u201d rollout. In August, the Federal Trade Commission sued a ticket broker for allegedly using bots to buy thousands of Eras tickets that it resold for more than $1 million in profit. Just this month, an angry Swiftie sued StubHub for giving her \u201cinferior\u201d seats after she dropped $14,000 on Eras tickets.<\/p>\n
