We’ve known all too well that Ticketmaster’s monopoly enables it to exploit consumers for profit. I was proud to work with colleagues this week to urge the Department of Justice to investigate. twitter.com/katieporteroc/…

Ticketmaster is the story of a monopoly gone wild. They are a vertically integrated giant with Live Nation that can drive up prices and offer subpar service.  That’s why we will be holding a bipartisan hearing in the Senate on these issues so we can push for solutions.

"The Creature From The Pit" is mostly enjoyable (Lady Adrasta can get extra at times), but its another good Romana story (but then again, most are with Lalla Ward). Up next, "Nightmare Of Eden". #dw60 #doctorwho

"what are they supposed to do" uhhh idk stagger the on-sale times by show? only let people with codes in the queue? not tell the artist you're prepared when you aren't? not have a smug exec liking e*on m*sk tweets while his business is failing? the squawk is dumb folks!

.@jimcramer: Ticketmaster's kind of like FTX, you know…same deal...They're an honest company. They're a good company. This is a different entertainer. Jim and @davidfaber discuss Ticketmaster's cancellation of the general public sale for @taylorswift13's tour.

Live Nation (owners of Ticketmaster) lost ~$1B in market cap today on news of a DoJ antitrust investigation after botching Taylor Swift concert ticket sales this week. Swifties remain undefeated 💯

The Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into the owner of Ticketmaster, whose sale of Taylor Swift concert tickets descended into chaos, said people with knowledge of the matter. The investigation predates the botched sale, they said. nyti.ms/3gpmk7k
Headline reads: Justice Department Said to Investigate Ticketmaster’s Parent Company. Text reads: The inquiry predates the botched presale of Taylor Swift tickets this week and is said to focus on whether Live Nation has abused its power in the live music industry.

And I imagine she is working on some kind of solution to all of this, but I'm just saying that this statement alone isn't going to cut it given how much of a disaster this has been all ready on Ticketmaster's end.

Good thread from Kara (also the jokes on here last night about Twitter dying were very funny)

A few things: 1. Depending on how much critical staff has left & where — it’s possible tho not probable the service could shut down at any time & for a short or long time. Relax as it used to do this a lot with the dreaded fail whale logo (see old & new one). It usually restores.

(still on this, can you tell I'm frustrated?) If ticketmaster wants any semblance of a saving grace from this, they should do this

They better be planning to cancel scalpers tickets and release them back to fans for face value. I know they’ve done it before, they can do it again. The way @Ticketmaster has handled this whole process is completely inexcusable

NFL officially is moving the Browns-Bills game out of Buffalo and to Ford Field in Detroit, where it will be played Sunday at 1 pm. Bills will play two straight games in Detroit: against the Browns, then on Thanksgiving vs. the Lions.

Seriously? I tried the verified fan route and that didn’t work. Was planning on buying tickets tomorrow. What the hell? Swifties, rise up in protest!

Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand, tomorrow's public on-sale for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has been cancelled.

No offense to Taylor, but right now ticketmaster has turned "The Eras Tour" into a disaster before it even got off the ground. Maybe something will change in the near future

Chairman of Ticketmaster Greg Maffei is on CNBC blaming the site outage on Taylor Swift. He says she didn’t go on the road for four years so the demand was more than they can handle.

Ticketmaster—I knew you were trouble way back in 2009 when I asked questions about your ticketing practices as AG. Long story short, your anti-competitive behavior has been no love story for Taylor Swift concertgoers.

What is going on with Ticketmaster is an example of why we need strong antitrust enforcement! Monopolies wreak havoc on consumers and our economy. When there is no competition to incentivize better services and fair prices, we all suffer the consequences.

Taylor Swift’s tour sale is a perfect example of how the Live Nation/Ticketmaster merger harms consumers by creating a near-monopoly. I’ve long urged DOJ to investigate the state of competition in the ticketing industry. Consumers deserve better than this anti-hero behavior.
