Lady Gaga looks to block sales of unofficial concert memorabilia

Singer Lady Gaga's representatives have filed a preemptive lawsuit in a bid to block merchandisers from selling unofficial concert memorabilia outside her upcoming concert in New York.

The Born This Way hitmaker will hit the stage at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday (13May14) and her representatives are keen to prevent bootleggers and merchandisers from selling fake goods outside of the venue.

The court order, which was filed in Manhattan Federal Court on Friday (09May14), will allow Marshals to seize and destroy any phoney merchandise, according to the New York Daily News.
