SELECTIVE PROSECUTION: A CORPORATE HIT JOB

It's not that we broke the rules. It's that we told the truth about them breaking the law.

We built something LEGITIMATE in a cesspool of scammers. Tax-paying. LGBTQ-owned. Transparent. And that made us their primary target.

"Dear Henk," begins the email. Not "To Whom It May Concern." Not "Dear Business Owner."
No formal cease and desist.
No legal citations.
Just a first-name threat from their "Regulatory Affairs" attack dog. As if we're casual acquaintances rather than businesses in conflict.

The black-market dealers? The account thieves? The queue manipulators hiding in Discord servers? All untouched. All thriving. All INVISIBLE to Ticketmaster's selective enforcement.

THE UNTOUCHABLES: SANCTIONED BY SILENCE

Found these in under 10 minutes. Where's YOUR regulatory team, Dan?

1. BuyFromFox

Selling Ticketmaster accounts from Abu Dhabi with impunity. Zero consequences. But we're the "threat."

2. QueuePerfect

Operating since 2021. Not a peep from TM. We guess "Perfect" really does buy you immunity.

3. TeamContent

Stole our model. Stole our site. Got a free pass. Apparently plagiarism is acceptable when you lack the courage to speak truth to power.

4. Spadone

Literally advertises "used to cash out tickets." No subtlety. No consequences.

5. Q-Market (Discord)

"Full access to email + forwarding." Anonymous. Russia-based. But Dan Wall can't seem to find them. Curious.

6. PlayerUp

Our exact business model—without the ethics, transparency, or accountability. Still thriving.

7. Z2U.com

Selling "aged accounts" like convenience store candy. Zero oversight. Zero enforcement.

8. USADigitalBiz

"Quicker access to high-demand tickets." That EXACT phrase got us threatened. They get carte blanche.

9. The Invisible Empire

Copping groups. Dark web resellers. Underground scalping rings.
But they don't have a public face. They don't file taxes. They don't report fraud.
We made the fatal mistake of being accountable. That's what Ticketmaster can't tolerate.

THE RETALIATION TIMELINE

March 2023
Ticketmaster executives already stalking our site.
(IP logs don't lie. We see you, Debra.)
Sept 17, 2024
We forward a fraud tip to Hannah Foster—someone asking how to cash out tickets using stolen identities. Email opened in under 15 minutes. Then? Complete and utter silence.
Feb 20, 2025
We file a formal CCPA privacy complaint against Ticketmaster.
THE SAME DAY
Dan Wall tweets a screenshot of our homepage, accusing us of queue manipulation. No investigation. No contact. Just a public corporate execution.
March 25, 2025
We receive the corporate equivalent of a drive-by: "Cease doing what you do." No legal basis. No specificity. Not even company letterhead.
We operated with ethics.
We reported fraud.
We followed laws.
We got professionally destroyed.
The others? Anonymous. Reckless. Profitable. Untouchable.
Ticketmaster doesn't target rule-breakers.
They target rule-breakers who dare to be visible.

A MESSAGE FOR DAN WALL

Dan,

You chose to publicly attack a legitimate business rather than address the actual bad actors exploiting your platform. This was not oversight. This was retaliation.

We have documented every interaction, preserved every email, and recorded every timeline. The pattern of selective enforcement following our CCPA complaint is unmistakable.

Legitimate businesses deserve legitimate treatment. We expected better from Ticketmaster's Director of Regulatory Affairs than an unprofessional, first-name-basis threat disguised as enforcement.

This page will remain online as a public record of Ticketmaster's selective enforcement practices. The evidence speaks for itself.

Don't worry. The real black market is alive and well. Just not here.
