Disney and Warner Bros Crack Down on Ticket Sellers

2016/12/26

Disney and Warner Bros, along with other Hollywood studios, have cracked down on ticket sellers in a copyright and trademark infringement claim.
The lawsuit was filed on December 21, at the US District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division.
Disney accused the Hollywood Entertainment Group, which does business as VIP Concierge, and its owner, Craig Banaszewski, of selling tickets to the studios’ private events.
The studios regularly hold “private screenings, openings, and tapings, which are meant to promote and enhance plaintiffs’ relationships with key partners, talent, and members of the press”. Tickets are not sold by the studios at any price.
