Ticketmaster is once again in the spotlight after singer Beyoncé, one of the most popular musical talents in the world, announced her "Renaissance World Tour."
The online ticketing giant incurred the wrath of millions of Taylor Swift fans after sales for one of her concerts was canceled "due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems" and insufficient inventory, according to the site.
The controversy made national headlines and resulted in Ticketmaster representatives testifying in front of the Senate in January, where multiple senators who made puns on Taylor Swift songs in their speeches.
"I believe in capitalism and a strong capitalist system," said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.
"You can't have too much consolidation. Something that unfortunately for this country, as an ode to Taylor Swift, I will say we know ‘All Too Well.’"
This time around, the Senate Judiciary Committee issued a warning to Ticketmaster just one day after Beyoncé’s announcement. The tour, her first since 2018, is already highly anticipated by fans.
"We’re watching," the Senate Judiciary Committee told Ticketmaster.
