Attentive Hearing Things readers may remember the TICKET Act, a bill that would enact several new federal regulations on the concert-ticketing industry, from an investigative feature we published on the state of the industry back in October. At the time, it had recently passed the House of Representatives but its future in the Senate was unclear. Now there’s an update: The bill was reintroduced into the Senate last week, and is being reviewed and potentially amended by the Commerce, Science and Technology Committee today. Naturally, Ted Cruz, who leads that committee, is trying to fuck it up.
