(January 24) for a hearing on Ticketmaster, another step in the United States government\u2019s investigation of the company\u2019s merger with Live Nation. Prompted by a server-crashing fiasco during a presale for Taylor Swift\u2019s Eras Tour that led to the cancelation of the tour\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> sale and left millions of incensed Swifties empty handed, the subcommittee is proceeding concurrently and in collaboration with a Department of Justice investigation that predates the incident.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            The panel, helmed by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Mike Lee (R-UT), heard testimony on Ticketmaster\u2019s impact on the primary and secondary ticket sale markets in particular and the music industry at large. Other members of the subcommittee include Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/us-senate-holds-hearing-on-ticketmaster-operations-the-solutions-are-there-for-the-taking\/\">Per Pitchfork<\/a>, several of these lawmakers quoted Taylor Swift lyrics at various points during the proceedings. SeatGeek CEO Jack Groetzinger spoke about the challenges presented to other ticketing outlets by his competitor\u2019s alleged monopoly. And Live Nation president\/CFO Joe Berchtold apologized to Swift on Ticketmaster\u2019s behalf but reasserted his earlier claim that bots \u2014 along with the unprecedented level of demand for Eras Tour tickets \u2014 were to blame for the crash.<\/p>\n<p>            Independently from both the Senate and DOJ investigations, Live Nation\/Ticketmaster, faces lawsuits from two groups of Swift fans, accusing the corporation of fraud, price fixing, and antitrust violations. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-241885\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TFI7834680816&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"482\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Raphael Helfand<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
