[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W haven’t had these experiences but it makes me so nervous. We have to use StubHub or similar these days for popular events because they are sold out so quickly, or there’s a lottery etc. Like, what’s the other option if it’s just not available directly from the site?

[b]This mess is why we needed Congress to pass and a president to sign the TICKET Act, a bill designed to regulate these third-party ticket resellers[/b]. [b]The House passed the act, but it went into limbo in the Senate and now? The incoming administration will ax it.[/b] They're saying it's all about budget cuts but let's face it, there will be no appetite for regulating anything once Jan. 20 arrives.

So, Congress was aware of the issue, and wanted to fix it (at least, the House did) but we consumers will continue to be screwed. So much for supporting the "little guy" against the behemoth money-making ticket resellers....

Republican congress passed it.

Democratic senate did not.

And you are saying the Republican president won't sign the republican bill?

Your odds have never been greater for this republican bill to pass now that you have a Republican congress, senate and president.[/quote]

Dud you bother to read the linked article from  Digital Music News? Have you followed the bill in the last few weeks since the election? The bill is dead now because the incoming administration has wrapped it into the many things they plan to ax to achieve their budget cuts. Stay up to date, PP, and don't be so naive.[/quote]
