Ticket Suit: Two $100-million class action antitrust lawsuits were filed this week against Ticketmaster Corp. and Bay Area Seating Service Inc., charging that the ticket agencies have created a monopoly over the sale of admission tickets to live entertainment events in California. One suit also names Bill Graham Presents, Avalon Attractions and Nederlander of Calif., as defendants, alleging that the three concert promotion firms grant Ticketmaster the exclusive right to sell tickets to events presented at venues in which they have a financial interest for kickbacks.
