What are my rights if I ordered concert tickets through a fan site?
Later that week I called Ticketmaster to change to Ticketfas (print at home). Ticketmaster had no problem doing this for me so I continued to do this in the following weeks. A few months later someone at Ticketmaster looked into my account and noticed I was not supposed to have my tickets available for Ticketfast and they were supposed to be Will call only. They went into my account and made every ticket that I already had printed, and made them invalid without my knowledge. People that had these tickets were denied entrance. If they made the mistake and gave me these tickets, can they legally take them away without my knowledge.

No, they cannot do this and you need to file a few complaints with their corporate department and then with the Federal Trade Commission and your State Attorney General. Unfortunately, it appears your one time allowance was then reversed. So at this point you really only have these recourses. If you purchased these tickets, and re-sold them, this could be a violation and may be violative of the contract (any) you had to purchase these tickets.
