Today marked the beginning of the Senate hearing prompted by the fiasco that was the Ticketmaster sale for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
The arguments center largely around how Ticketmaster handled the sale for the pop star’s arena tour and the debate about monopolizing the ticket industry following the Live Nation and Ticketmaster merger in 2010.
Berchtold also explained during the hearing that Live Nation is the “best in class,” according to NYT.
From the Republican Party, Senator John Kennedy, from Louisiana, explained that what happened during Swift’s sale “was a debacle.”
