The Democrats are leading the charge against Ticketmaster! Amy Klobucher fired off a letter to the DOJ regarding the Taylor Swift debacle. Swift fans were unable to purchase tickets and in addition to that the price of the tickets are too high. The Democrats demand access for all, it's a constitutional right to be able to see Taylor Swift! This needs to be addressed immediately. It's clearly a violation of anti-trust laws. Taylor Swift has a monopoly on Taylor Swift! Ticketmaster failed to provide tickets on demand and their website crashed faster than Obamacares' health care one. That only resulted in about 600 million fraudulent contracts. The swiftys deserve so much better than that! All this is simply oppression of the middle class, oppression of minorities, and I suspect offends the LGQBT+ crowd. This needs to be addressed right now, that can't be stressed enough. It was even on the evening news, that's how serious it is.
Well, you see this isn't the first time the government has been warned about Ticketmaster. They merged with Live Nation some years back and basically have a monopoly on selling tickets. There is no competition. You either buy through Ticketmaster or you can't buy the tickets. The Biden administration has made it clear that it wants competition! Taylor Swift shouldn't be able to sell her tickets for any price she wants, that's not fair. Ticketmaster has to be able to process those ticket sales to everyone that wants one, regardless of the volume of sales. Two million tickets were sold in one day, a presale day to boot. A new record for Ticketmaster plus they put 1.5 million tickets on the waiting list. But the system crashed and they need to be held accountable.
So the DOJ has been mobilized, the investigation is underway. Hunter and Trump will just have to wait, this has to be dealt with right now. The Russians aren't a real threat, set that whole deal aside. Burisma? What is Burisma, we're talking about getting a Ticket to see Taylor Swift for God's sake! Midterm elections results still being counted. Hey, it takes time to count all of those votes you know but selling tickets to millions of Taylor Swift fans should go off without a hitch. This will be investigated thoroughly, and appropriate legislation enacted.
Taylor Swift issued this statement as well. “I’m not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could,” Swift said, adding that it “pisses [her] off” that even the 2.4 million people who got tickets “feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.” Well, if Taylor is "pissed off" something definitely needs to be done. It's not like dealing with the IRS or the DMV. No, this was like a bear attack! She asked them first! They said they could do the job. And now Taylor has more demand for tickets than she has concerts scheduled. They are selling the tickets for higher prices even. This is terrible. Taylor Swift fans are being marginalized! It just isn't fair, notify the DOJ!
