In a recent lawsuit, Ticketmaster sued a Friendswood councilman, alleging that the councilman was using software that allowed him to buy thousands of tickets from Ticketmaster before the general public could buy any. Ticketmaster argued that by doing so, this allowed the Friendswood councilman to artificially inflate the price of the tickets on his ticket-sale website. The Friendswood councilman agreed to the injunction that Ticketmaster sought in its lawsuit, asserting that he never used the software, so agreeing not to use it was no loss to him.
