ATLANTA — A Gwinnett County ticket supplier is accused of participating in a ticketing scam that’s left thousands of fans without seats to the Winter Games a week before they’re scheduled to begin.

Action Seating is being sued in Georgia for breaking a contract with Arizona-based eSeats.com and other ticket distributors for failing to send out blocks of tickets as promised.

But in a letter to customers, Action Seating said it couldn’t send out those tickets because they’re being held up by an unknown company in Hong Kong.

Atlanta lawyer Gordon Berger said he can’t comment beyond a letter he sent out on behalf of Action Seating.

That letter states Action Seating did not receive tickets from an unknown company in Hong Kong because of lack of payment by yet another ticket source.
