You are forgetting that they have the right to not sell tickets to whomever they choose, but once that ticket is sold, they are on very shaky ground to ban someone unless they misrepresented who they were when buying the ticket.

Tickets are contracts!

How can they prove this isn’t some bogus way to account for oversold seats? What if an airline did the same on oversold flights?

Nope they always have a clause stating that they can remove you from the venue for what ever reason they want.

Ticket master also has anti-chargeback clauses as well.

Oh, remove and deny entry mean the same thing now?

Listen, if you’re going to be a pedantic law critic, at least be iron clad.

Why aren't such clauses considered illegal as contrary to the public interest?

Then I suppose it will come down to whether the ticket terms included a clause that the purchaser/attendee was not employed by a firm involved in a lawsuit against MSGE.

Yes, that's why every time I buy something I check the list of companies my employers is in litigation with. /s
