Alright, Kristen, you know this is a story I've been following very very closely.
More senators are going after ticketmaster following long waits and
outages to buy tickets for taylor swift upcoming eras.
Tour
Swiss Tour is now the biggest ever U. S.
Tour with over 266 million in ticket revenue sold for over two million people.
In fact, this is heartbreaking for me,
friday's public ticket sales for the tour
has now been canceled after extreme demand.
Senator Amy Klobuchar writing a letter to
ticketmaster and Live Nation after the outage
saying she has serious concerns about the
state of competition in the ticketing industry.
She went on to say quote ticketmaster's power in
the primary ticket market insulate it from the competitive pressures
that typically push companies to innovate and improve their services
that can result in the types of dramatic service failures we saw
this week where consumers are the ones that pay the price.
Other lawmakers have voiced concern about ticketmaster's possible monopoly,
including representative alexandria Ocasio Cortez and I think this is
the bigger issue chris and I was not a,
me and my sister in law were not able to
get the tickets were hoping to get them on friday with
general admission or general tickets and we can't get the obviously
this just this just broke in the last few minutes,
we can't do friday either. I'm still remaining hopefully optimistic.
But the bigger story is here that like my sister in law said,
scalpers are really the winner here because some
of these tickets are selling for $75,000.
If you go on certain websites,
it's ridiculous and there are some fans out
there that really would have sat anywhere,
but
it was impossible to even get in the queue and now it's canceled friday.
So a lot of us are losing out. Talk about inflation and a side hustle.
Seriously, it's really not,
it's not fair and the story is much bigger than the taylor swift tour,
but I'm glad so many lawmakers are getting involved just to see what's going on here.
Yeah, this is why a lot of people disappointed obviously and Hannah, I was rude
for you, I told you,
I'm sorry that you couldn't get a ticket and
still you know somehow we want harry styles ticket.
My sister in law's dad one that through a raffle, I'm still some miracle happen.
I hope, I don't know, I'm hoping my favorite, I love harry styles,
my favorite harry styles song is watermelon sugar.
Really mine, just as it was by the way, I don't know if you've seen him perform live,
he's amazing, He's still a good life.
I can only dream next time
and adobo with those headlines and a thank you as always
