People are fed up with Ticketmaster and its messing with Taylor Swift’s fans didn’t help, but the company’s president will tell Congress on Tuesday that he doesn’t deserve to be a punching bag for the entertainment industry.
In testimony before a Senate panel, Live Nation Entertainment president Joe Berchtold also plans to apologize to Ms. Swift and her legion of fans for botched ticket sales for her new tour.
“We hear people say that ticketing markets are less competitive today than they were at the time of the Live Nation-Ticketmaster merger,” Mr. Berchtold will say, according to prepared remarks that Ticketmaster shared with The Washington Times.
