I'm sure Ticketmaster knows this is illegal. They probably weighed their options and saw:
1) refund every ticket as required and run out of money immediately
2) do whatever they can to have some operating capital, and maybe continue existing until summer 2021-ish when live music is once again legal, then deal with a lawsuit in a time when courts are once again operating
I loathe Ticketmaster, so #1 seems fine to me, but I get their decision as a business. Honestly even #2 seems like a hail mary.
