President Trump recently took action to tackle ticket scalping and promote price transparency in the live entertainment ticketing industry. In the presence of musician Kid Rock, Trump signed an executive order with the goal of alleviating concerns over automated bots and excessively high resale prices. The order mandates the Treasury Secretary and Attorney General to oversee scalpers’ adherence to IRS regulations and the enforcement of competition laws. This move is expected to bring relief to consumers who have long been frustrated by the lack of fairness in ticket sales for events ranging from concerts to sports games. The executive order underscores the administration’s commitment to ensuring a level playing field in the ticketing market, ultimately benefiting both event-goers and performers.
