Ticketmaster: It's me! Hi! I'm the problem, it's me

Taylor Swift has been forced to cancel her Eras Tour ticket sale to the public after historic demand for tickets caused Ticketmaster's site to be completely overwhelmed. The demand meant resale markets went crazy, with some screenshots showing Taylor Swift tickets selling for tens of thousands of dollars.


The Swifties weren't happy. But this certainly isn't the first time Ticketmaster has had issues with its system... On today's episode, we look at why everyone is angry with the ticketing giant - and how it's become the anti-hero.
