However, like most states that have passed similar bans, the law has rarely been enforced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Meanwhile, in Nevada, the attorney general\u2019s office said it was investigating Ticketmaster for \u201calleged deceptive or unfair trade practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The trouble began when registered fans given codes for a pre-sale on Tuesday tried to secure tickets for Swift\u2019s 52-date The Eras tour next year. They were quickly met with long delays and error messages that Ticketmaster blamed on bots and historically unprecedented demand. The company then canceled Friday\u2019s sales to the general public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Swift vented anger and frustration in a lengthy statement, saying she had been assured by Ticketmaster that they could handle the demand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cIt\u2019s really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en with no recourse,\u201d Swift said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Ticketmaster said more than 2 million tickets were sold despite the troubles, setting a new single-day record for artists on the platform, and that only 15 percent of would-be buyers had issues with the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cWe want to apologize to Taylor and all of her fans \u2014 especially those who had a terrible experience trying to purchase tickets,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Multiple lawmakers have accused Ticketmaster of abusing its power as the dominant ticket-seller for consumers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights, wrote an open letter to Ticketmaster\u2019s President and CEO Michael Rapino, saying that she\u2019s been skeptical of his company ever since they merged with LiveNation in 2011. Her letter included several questions about Ticketmaster\u2019s business practices that she asked Rapino answer by next week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Asked about reports that the Justice Department would investigate Live Nation, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on specifics, but said President Joe Biden has worked to increase competition and limit the power of large corporations, believing that a \u201clack of competition leads to higher prices, and worse service.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
