## Resource

Ticket scalping’s getting out of hand—and artists, fans, and even politicians are fed up. Ireland’s 2021 law banning resale above face value has already forced major sites like Stubhub to pull Irish events, helping fans get tickets instead of resellers. But enforcement is weak, scalpers are just moving overseas, and the U.K. and even Ticketmaster are watching closely. Price caps may be the only way to stop bots, fraud, and inflated prices—making live events fair again. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
