Ticket scalpers put on notice

[Just a VolinTears]

This is awesome news. Hopefully this will reduce ticket prices. This will begin to prevent the automated bots from sweeping in and buying up all the tickets and then charging 400-500% more for the tickets. This is a great first step for helping the working class with ticket prices. No matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, this is good by the administration

Scalpers are the reason why Ticketmaster gouges customers with BS fees?

It never mentions sports specifically, only concerts and entertainment

Sports is live event entertainment.

Using the gambling industry to launder money is more of a sideline... a cottage industry of the Intelligence Community and global banking agencies.

WWE is entertainment, sports are sports. Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis was far from entertaining.

There are unintended consequences here, not sure this will turn out how everyone thinks.

ETA: The government shouldn't be involved here, nothing good will come of this.

Ticketmaster will continue to win.

A performative display that does not offer any concrete path toward reducing prices.

There have been laws on the books forever. The 2016 BOTS law being one such recent example. And while enforcing tax laws sounds like a nice neat solution, when did Ticketmaster ever not pay its taxes?
