Taylor Swift Fans Sue Ticketmaster Over Eras Tour Ticketing Fiasco
A group of Taylor Swift fans have filed a lawsuit against Ticketmaster over the recent Eras Tour ticketing fiasco, Deadline reports and pitchfork can confirm. The complaint (viewed by Pitchfork), details the ticketing giant’s bungled ticket sale for Swift’s 2023 stadium trek. Ticketmaster had to cancel the public on-sale date for the tour “due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand,” as the company wrote at the time. The Plaintiffs are suing Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation for “fraud, price-fixing, and antitrust violations,” alleging that “intentional deception” allowed scalpers to buy the majority of tickets. Tickets for the Eras Tour went on sale on Tuesday, November 15, through Ticketmaster’s V...

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey “Take On” Clickers in The Last of Us Trailer: Watch
The official trailer for HBO’s The Last of Us has been revealed, and the looming threat from the first look and teaser has finally clicked into place with an expanded preview of the zombie apocalypse video game adaptation. The clip begins with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, as lead characters Joel and Ellie, traversing across country on a mission connected to the younger passenger’s apparent immunity to a devastating zombie virus.

Gen V Takes The Boys’ Spinoff Series to School in Bloody First Trailer: Watch
The first trailer for The Boys’ college spinoff Gen V has arrived, and when it comes to the subversive superhero series’ requisite bloodlust, the new installment seems set to pass with flying colors. The clip opens with an introduction to Godolkin University, a self-described “safe space” for super-powered teenagers “to thrive.” The curriculum, however, appears to have a much more punitive approach to the classic pass-or-fail format with numerous shots revealing blood-soaked students, disemboweled security forces, and deadly clashes amongst classmates. At one point, Jaz Sinclair, as the show’s lead Marie Moreau, brushes off the unusual college trials, saying, “I’m superhuman, right? We’re made of steel.” Despite her heroic confidence, every moment surrounding the statement suggests otherwi...
