Summary

68% Informative

Kid Rock calls the executive order a “great first step” and says he’d eventually like a cap on resale prices.

The order mostly directs federal agencies to enforce existing laws.

It marks a rare instance of policy crossover with the Obama administration, which sued Ticketmaster and Live Nation last year .

Kid Rock: "I would rather be, you know, a hero to working-class people and have them be able to come attend my shows and give them a fair ticket price" The White House says scalpers use bots and other unfair means to acquire large quantities of face-value tickets, then sell them at an enormous markup.
