Coleman Herman v. Admit One Ticket Agency, LLC

The issues presented are: whether the plaintiff had standing under the Anti-Scalping Statute, G. L. c. 140, § 185D, to bring this action, where he had not purchased a ticket from the defendant at the quoted price; whether the plaintiff suffered harm such as would allow him to bring a claim under G. L. c. 93A.



Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020).
