There was a lot of interest in the tickets to Taylor Swift's tour. The Tennessee attorney general is looking into the matter. Skrmetti is the latest politician to speak out against Live Nation.
This coincides with the cancellation of public sales for Swift's tour. The cancellation was due to high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining tickets to meet that demand.
There would have been a public sale for tickets left over from the site's troubled pre-sale. Many fans were unable to purchase a ticket due to technical issues.
3.5 million people signed up for the Verified Fan program, according to a now- deleted post by the company. Some 1.5 million people were given a special access code, and the rest were put on a waiting list. It's the first time that a fan on sale has sparked so much attention.
Fans who tried to buy tickets for Eras complained to Skrmetti. The need for accountability is underscored by the decision of theTicketmaster to cancel sales. Fans need a chance to purchase a ticket. Other state AGs are also taking this issue seriously.
According to the Washington Post, Skrmetti questioned whether the company should have been prepared for the high demand because of their market position.
The Attorney General is concerned about consumer complaints related to the pre-sale of Taylor Swift concert tickets. The Consumer Protection team will use all available tools to make sure the laws are not violated.
The Skrmetti's office has been contacted by a website.
Swift is going on a tour after the release of her new album.
Some politicians have raised concerns over the combined company of Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
The Representative said on Tuesday thatTicketmaster is a monopoly, its merger with Live Nation should never have been approved, and they needed to be reigned in. They need to be broken up.
The congressman said that the excessive wait times and fees were a symptom of a bigger problem. Live Nation-Ticketmaster is an monopolies.
Representative Pascrell, Jr., who was put on a wait list for Swift tickets, said that the monopoly should never have been allowed to merge.
The consumers want a break up of Live Nation. A group of consumer rights groups, including the American Economic Liberties Project, launched a campaign last month called Break Up Ticketmaster, saying that the company's market power over live events is ripping off sports and music fans.
