The US Senate Judiciary Committee must decide whether Ticketmaster has a monopoly on ticket sales
Fans of Taylor Swift must protest against Ticketmaster this Tuesday, the 24th, outside the United States Senate. Discontent arose after troubled ticket sales for The Eras Tourin November last year.
The ticketeria website suffered from instabilities, crashes, long queues and fees considered abusive. Hundreds of fans felt aggrieved by the company, which justified the problems by “great demand.” Despite this, exorbitant rates and prices on official ticket resale (an old public complaint) are not directly related to the number of accesses, as pointed out by NPR.

The Judiciary Committee of the US Senate must judge whether there is a monopoly after lawsuits initiated by fans of the singer. “The biggest houses and artists choose us because we have pioneering technology in the world – which doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Taylor Swift The Eras Tour it clearly wasn’t. But we’re always working to improve the experience, especially in high-demand sales,” the company said in a statement.
In November, the live nation denied that there is a monopoly on the ticket office. In a statement, they claimed that the industry has not been fundamentally changed in the last 12 years – when regulatory agencies approved the merger of the two companies.
Jennifer Kindera lawyer representing fans of Swifthelped organize the protests and said: “I hope the senators Amy Klobuchar and Dick Durbin start asking Ticketmaster how consumers and artists are treated. We only had four days’ notice to organize the protest, but we hope that people will come and, with their voice, the Ticketmaster see us and know that we will not go that way.”
