DOJ says Ticketmaster pushed for non-transferrable tickets to make it harder for fans to use rival platforms like StubHub and SeatGeek .
In 2019 , Ticketmaster rolled out SafeTix , which replaced static barcodes on electronic tickets with encrypted barcodes that refresh every 15 seconds .
The complaint was amended Monday after 10 states joined the DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation .
