The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing next week to examine the lack of competition in the U.S. ticketing industry.
The hearing, titled "That's The Ticket: Promoting Competition and Protecting Consumers in Live Entertainment", will be held at 10 am on January 24 before the full Senate Judiciary Committee with Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) and incoming Ranking Member Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
The issues within the United States' ticketing industry were exposed in November when Ticketmaster's website failed a huge number of fans hoping to purchase tickets for Taylor Swift's new "Eras" tour.
