Trump joined by Kid Rock as he signs order to crack down on ticket scalpers

Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that aimed to protect fans by cracking down on “exploitative ticket scalping” and introduced “commonsense reforms” to the way live entertainment events are priced.

Flanked by a bespangled Kid Rock in the Oval Office, Trump signed what he called a “very serious” order designed to protect fans from “having to pay crazy prices” for tickets.

“Anyone who’s bought a concert ticket in the last decade, maybe 20 years – no matter what your politics are – knows that it’s a conundrum,” Kid Rock, wearing sunglasses and a white fedora, said, lamenting the frustration of purchasing a ticket online after bots scoop up the tickets and then “jack up” the price. “This is a great first step.”
