Montreal class-action suit against entertainment group aims to tackle extra ticket fees


It alleges l’Arena des canadiens Inc., which owns and operates the evenko website, charges between $5 and $7 for services described as either an electronic ticket fee, a box office pickup fee or a mobile ticket fee. MONTREAL—Extra delivery fees on the price of tickets for concerts and shows are described as exploitative in a recent application for a class-action suit against entertainment giant evenko. “These fees are nothing more than a cash cow for the defendant,” the application contends. The application states none of evenko’s competitors charge similar fees, unless it is for the mailing or the physical delivery of tickets. The suit doesn’t target charges for tickets that are sent by mail or courier, acknowledging there’s a cost associated with that service.
