The Timberwolves thought they were being environmentally friendly when they switched to digital-only ticket sales. Their fans are not happy.
A group of Minnesota fans has filed a class-action lawsuit against the NBA team, claiming its exclusive use of the digital marketplace Flash Seats makes it difficult for fans to exchange tickets, sell them on the secondary market or even give them away.
