President backs ‘commonsense reforms’ to stop soaring resale prices as singer urges Congress to pass legislation

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.
