When thousands of fans couldn’t get tickets for megastar Taylor Swift’s summer stadium tour, some diehards paid upwards of 70 times face value to see their favorite artist in person — an outrage that prompted congressional hearings and bills in state legislatures to better protect consumers.

After 10 months, Swift’s U.S. tour is finished, but so are most of the meaningful reforms consumer advocates and industry groups had hoped to pass this year. A proposal has so far failed to advance in the U.S. Senate. Legislation in Colorado was vetoed by the Democratic governor at the urging of some consumer groups.

    Yeah, mine lets me choose the tickets, get to the end and wait for the txt confirmation code, and then it won’t actually process the transaction. I am so frustrated! I have to now go to the actual event space and buy the tickets from our box office… which isn’t an easy feat to do…

    Totally going down to buy tickets too… I am so excited for a chance to see Fluffy live, that an internet feature won’t stop me.
