Taylor Swift's Ticketmaster Nightmare

It's a difficult time to be a Swiftie right now. After pre-sale tickets for Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour were released on Tuesday, the rush to snag seats was wild, resulting in a record-breaking sales day for Ticketmaster. The "historically unprecedented" demand caused fans to wait hours to get tickets, and resell prices from scalpers have rocketed upwards of $25,000. Of course ticketless fans are frustrated, and they're pointing blame at Ticketmaster. Even some politicians have chimed in to criticize the platform, calling it an "unchecked monopoly." So could this outcry cause change in the ticket-selling industry? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
