Billboard reports that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission is forcing Ticketmaster to repay "upward of a million dollars" to Bruce Springsteen fans who were mislead and ripped off while buying Bruce concert tickets last year.

Ticketmaster was busted selling "phantom tickets" and redirecting buyers to their own professional scalping site TicketsNow. According to Billboard, FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said Ticketmaster "has not admitted to any wrongdoing as part of the settlement," which makes no sense.

In other, less heartening Ticketmaster-related news, the U.S. Department of Justice recently OK'd a merger between the company and fellow concert behemoth Live Nation. So next time something like this happens, something called Live Nation Entertainment will have to pay out the cash.
