I'm quite sure there's a lot of popular policy's that would please most of us(including ticket debacles) but do you honestly think governments are in the slightest bit concerned with ticket gripes? I could drift into politics but I'll forego the lectures...
It wouldn’t be easy, Live Nation’s legal team would run rings around them. Also, what’s described in the article doesn’t happen in the UK, you can’t resell a ticket above face value on the Ticketmaster platform here. The issue is with third party sites which would make enforcement even harder.
It’s bringing in a few big conferences and corporate events which are good for pubs and restaurants etc, but I don’t know if the two things are related at all. Maybe simply they have more nights available if less concerts get booked
