Editing Ticketmaster (section)

=== Ticket transfer hacking ===
In fall 2024, Ticketmaster customers began noticing tickets were being incorrectly removed from accounts. Despite thousands of customers taking to Ticketmaster's social media accounts over a period of months, the platform initially ignored the comments and released a statement in October 2024 indicating that affected customers were "victims of hackers" taking advantage of the platform's ticket transfer feature.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Scammers are accessing Ticketmaster users' email accounts, stealing tickets, company says|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2024/10/01/ticketmaster-scammers-disappearing-tickets/75470713007/|access-date=2024-10-01 |website=USA TODAY}}</ref> Despite this, Ticketmaster did not replace missing tickets or pull its ticket transfer feature pending an investigation into the hacking. This issue continued in November 2024 for fans attending an [[Usher (musician)|Usher]] concert, with the tickets only being refunded after fans complained to the [[Better Business Bureau]]. Due to Ticketmaster's lack of information and action, social media users and fans questioned if the organization was in on the scam itself.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/ticketmaster-hacked-transfer-tickets-from-customer-account-scam-2024-11|title=Hackers are stealing tickets from Ticketmaster customers' accounts.
