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.

President Trump signed an executive order on Monday aimed to crack down on ticket scalping and resale practices, alongside rock star Kid Rock.

The order will direct the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice to enforce laws, in collaboration with state attorneys general, to prevent entertainers and fans from being overcharged and price gouged by reselling practices.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to protect Americans from "exploitive ticket scalping" in the concert and entertainment industry, Fox News Digital has learned. 

The president signed the order Monday evening in the Oval Office. Kid Rock joined the president for the signing ceremony. 

The president’s executive order directs the Federal Trade Commission to work with the attorney general to ensure that competition laws are enforced in the concert and entertainment industry. 

The Justice Department filed a long-awaited antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and parent company Live Nation on Thursday, seeking to break up what officials call an unlawful monopoly that’s squeezing artists, promoters and venues while jacking up prices for fans.

Two days before the suit was filed, one of the “architects” of President Joe Biden’s antitrust agenda made a concise and plainspoken case for why the administration should pursue it.

The Justice Department filed a sweeping antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and parent company Live Nation Entertainment on Thursday, accusing them of running an illegal monopoly over live events in America — squelching competition and driving up prices for fans.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, was brought with 30 state and district attorneys general and seeks to break up the monopoly they say is squeezing out smaller promoters, hurting artists and drowning fans with endless fees.

The Justice Department sued Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation on Thursday, accusing the ticketing companies of blocking competition in the live entertainment industry. 

The DOJ, which filed the antitrust lawsuit alongside 30 state and district attorneys general, alleges that Ticketmaster and Live Nation’s anti-competitive behavior deprives U.S. music fans of ticketing innovation and forces them to pay more than fans in other countries. 

After a yearlong investigation, the Department of Justice announced it has filed a lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster for breaking antitrust laws.

You’re in a crowd of tens of thousands of fellow fans. The band starts playing your favorite song. Everyone screams. You will never, ever forget this moment.

Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday signed a ticket transparency bill aimed at protecting music fans when they buy tickets for shows.

Complaints among music fans have far outnumbered the number of seats available in even the biggest venues, especially during the frenzy for Taylor Swift tickets. Minnesota lawmakers heard the noise and passed two bills, including the aptly-named house file 1989 — a nod to Swift's album — which was signed into law on Tuesday.
