say Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation Entertainment, dominate the ticketing and live events industry and have called on the government to break up what they consider a near-monopoly.Skrmetti said at a press conference that antitrust violations "could be an issue," per Bloomberg.

"As an industry player, you would think Ticketmaster would be prepared," Skrmetti said about the pre-sale demand for Swift's tour. "Because they have a dominant position, they may have thought they didn’t need to worry about that. This could be an indicator that there’s not enough competition in the market"tweeted on Tuesday afternoon that there had been "unprecedented demand" for Swift's tour presale tickets and "hundreds of thousands have been sold."
Ticketmaster is "actively selling tickets" and has a "great selection still available for most shows that are already onsale,” the company told Axios in an emailed statement.
