The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday will hold its first hearing on the recent Ticketmaster debacle that resulted in thousands of Taylor Swift fans being shut out of purchasing tickets to her latest tour. Congress Minute by Politico reports that the hearing will begin at 10 a.m. EST. “At next week’s hearing, we will examine how consolidation in the live entertainment and ticketing industries harms customers and artists alike,” said Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who chairs the Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust and Consumer Rights. Watch live feed of the hearing on the committee’s website.
