President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 31, 2025, aimed at protecting fans from 'exploitative ticket scalping' and reforming the U.S. live entertainment ticketing industry. The directive was signed in the Oval Office, with singer Kid Rock present.
The executive order calls for greater price transparency and stronger enforcement of unfair or anti-competitive ticket resale practices. It directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to collaborate with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to ensure competition laws are upheld in the ticketing market.
This action could lead to new regulations or increased scrutiny on ticketing companies like Live Nation and its Ticketmaster subsidiary, particularly regarding their handling of ticket resales and the disclosure of fees. The goal is to ensure tickets reach fans at fair prices and to combat bot activity.
