Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Wednesday sharply criticized Ticketmaster and Live Nation at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing, citing an internal email that she said shows the company 'turns a blind eye' to bots that exceed ticket limits. Live Nation executive Dan Wall disputed that claim while the exchange surfaced in an FTC lawsuit; Blackburn signaled legislation and enforcement efforts, including the MAIN Event Ticketing Act and potential price caps.
