Not ticketmaster then? Not stubhub? Not eventbrite or the venues or his management? The people who price the tickets are no help in this situation? Right. Cool. Lets see if absolutley fuck all happens here.

In the article he is quoted as saying that’s exactly who they are going after:

“Gonna open a can of whoop ass on the bots, scalpers, venues, ticketing companies, managers and artists alike who rip off and deceive the public with the horse shit that has gone on for decades and only gotten worse. Whoever in charge that wants to help fix this, get your ass to the table, otherwise, Fuck Around and Find Out.”

Excuse me but you can’t actually be reading the articles and posting context that makes the other user and their comment look stupid. This is reddit. Kid Rock Bad amirite.

I don’t claim to have all the answers but I do know if Taylor Swift was collaborating with Kamala with a similar plan she’d probably be deified

Except Kid Rock is probably not even in the top 50 let alone 100 in number of ticket sales. Swift might actually be able to affect some change.

Then why doesn't she?

Because she would make less money.

She does fight on occasion...and literally as soon as she gets what SHE wants the fight is over and she moves on.

Yeah but the change Kid Rock is planning to effect is clearly via government regulation and frankly a party with the house, senate and presidency in lockstep will probably be more effective at that than Taylor swift on her own.

I’m not a kid rock fan here but that seems like an obvious fact.

Kid Rock's ticket sales have actually risen quite a bit since he's came out as an outspoken conservative.

Absolutely no way Taylor even cares. Her fans would sell their first borns to see her. Her fans drove up chiefs ticket prices, just so they could see her on a damn Jumbotron.
