Ticketholders Sue Timberwolves

Two season-ticket holders are suing the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves, claiming the team’s paperless ticket policy hurts ticket buyers.

The lawsuit that seeks class-action status over the use of the Flash Seats ticket system was filed March 3 by GLS Companies and James Mattson.

The lawsuit says the team’s paperless ticket policy unlawfully alters the way Timberwolves ticket holders may transfer tickets, according to the Star Tribune.

The suit says Mattson tried to resell tickets valued at $240 for just $100, but he could only set his price at $180 or higher through Flash Seats.

Timberwolves President Chris Wright said in a statement the team doesn’t comment on pending litigation but he’s confident Flash Seats provides the best possible experience for fans of the Timberwolves and the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx.
