    My immediate suspicion of the cause of this was that Ticketmaster wasn’t donating enough money to the right people’s campaigns.

      In a way, you’d be right. Anything can be bought in America with enough ad dollars. To be honest though they probably didn’t think the FTC had the balls to try it, so we’ve probably not seen the ad-dollar misinformation macchine spin up quite yet.

        Agreed. Ticketmaster probably missed the introductory pricing rate for brib-…I mean campaign donations.
