Ticketmaster is now facing another lawsuit. A Canadian law firm, LPC Avocat Inc., has filed a class action lawsuit against the mega ticketing service for allegedly price gauging tickets to an upcoming stop on Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour, as per the Toronto Star.

The firm, based in Montreal, claims that Ticketmaster “intentionally misleads consumers for [its] own financial gain.” The complaint, obtained by the Toronto Star, states that a Montreal man purchased two “Official Platinum” seats, priced at $789.54 each, for Drake’s July 14 concert at Montreal’s Bell Centre.

However, a day after the tickets went on sale (July 15), Ticketmaster allegedly added a second show in the city with the exact same seats priced around $350 less.
