A California lawmaker is proposing legislation aimed at ending Ticketmaster's exclusive control over ticket sales, a move that echoes concerns raised by American singer-songwriter Kid Rock regarding the company's dominance in the music industry. Similarly, Arizona and Colorado are taking legislative steps to combat issues related to ticket sales, including the use of bots for scalping and deceptive sales tactics. Arizona's efforts specifically aim to protect fans from being unfairly prevented from purchasing tickets due to the prevalence of bots scooping up tickets for events like Taylor Swift concerts.
