After Swifties weren鈥檛 able to purchase 鈥減resale鈥� tickets for Taylor Swift鈥檚 鈥淓ras Tour鈥� due to Ticketmaster鈥檚 website crashing, Senator Amy Klobuchar voiced 鈥渟erious concerns鈥� over the company聽

“When Ticketmaster merged with Live Nation in 2010, it was subject to an anti-trust consent
decree that prohibited it from abusing its market position,” Klobuchar wrote. “Nonetheless, there have been numerous complaints about your company鈥檚 compliance with that decree. I am concerned about
a pattern of non-compliance with your legal obligations.”

This is Swift’s first tour since 2018, following the record-breaking success of her newest album, “Midnights.” Swift became the first artist to lock up every one of on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, all with songs from the recently-released album.

After Klobuchar’s letter and the Tennessee Attorney General’s announcement to investigate the company, Ticketmaster has canceled its plan to sell tickets to Taylor Swift鈥檚 latest tour, which were set to go up for sale Friday.

鈥淒ue to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand,鈥� Ticketmaster wrote in a Thursday. 鈥淭omorrow鈥檚 public on-sale for Taylor Swift The Eras Tour has been canceled.鈥�

Spike O’Neill, filling in for John Curley, and Shari Elliker weighed in on the snowballing situation.

“Less people applied for student loan relief then went online trying to get Taylor Swift tickets,” Spike said. “And it takes something like this to get the government off of its haunches to look at protecting the consumers. I mean, people can go into student loan debt because of these predatory lending practices, these ridiculous loan agreements that students take on to get their education. And that’s all well and good, but God forbid Swifties can’t get in to see Taylor Swift.”

“I think it’s kind of a tricky thing here when the government gets involved in private businesses, and so you don’t want to have any overstepping by the government because of the fact that there’s this incredibly popular performer, and it’s what the market will bear, right?” Shari asked. “I mean, if you can afford to go see Taylor Swift and the tickets cost, with all this BS or whatever, $500 and you can do it, that’s okay. You can’t, you can’t.”
