The 'Ticketmaster Bot Crackdown' refers to the ongoing efforts by Ticketmaster and legislative bodies to combat the use of automated software (bots) by ticket scalpers. These bots rapidly purchase large quantities of tickets for popular music events, often leading to inflated resale prices and limited availability for genuine fans. This theme highlights the challenges in ensuring fair access to live music events and the legal measures, such as the BOTS Act of 2016¹, aimed at curbing such practices.
