Lawmakers accused the ticket vendor of being a monopoly and called for it to be broken up.
Taylor Swift fans' desire to see the singer live in concert next year was so great that it crashed ticket sales site Ticketmaster during a pre-sale period.
"There has been historically unprecedented demand with millions showing up to buy tickets for the TaylorSwiftTix pre-sale," Ticketmaster said in a statement Tuesday. "At this point seriously take off the fees, y'all have failed everyone and has wasted people's days. People skipped work and school for this and y'all knew what kind of traffic to expect and once again y'all have failed," one person tweeted.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Ticketmaster of monopolizing ticket sales and called on the company to be broken up. "Daily reminder that Ticketmaster is a monopoly, it's merger with LiveNation should never have been approved, and they need to be reigned [sic] in. Break them up," the New York Democrat tweeted.
