Kid Rock met with Trump's Attorney General pick Pam Bondi to discuss major concerns about the live concert industry's ticketing practices and pricing issues. The meeting focused on addressing problems with ticket bots, scalpers, and deceptive pricing practices.

The discussion comes amid widespread criticism of concert ticket pricing, particularly following incidents like The Eras Tour and upcoming Oasis reunion shows. Ticket bots remain a significant issue, with reports showing that automated purchasing tools can be acquired for as little as $50, allowing scalpers to bypass traditional queuing systems.

The U.S. Department of Justice has already launched an antitrust investigation into Live Nation and Ticketmaster over potential monopolistic practices in the live entertainment ticketing industry. This investigation could continue under Bondi's potential leadership.

Kid Rock shared on Instagram: "I look forward to working with her and the whole administration to help fix the fiasco of buying concert tickets. Gonna open a can of whoop ass on the bots, scalpers, venues, ticketing companies, managers, and artists alike who rip off and deceive the public."

The potential impact of this initiative could be significant, especially with Gail Slater, Trump's pick for Assistant Attorney General and head of the DoJ's antitrust division, who has received praise from anti-monopoly advocates. The Live Nation/Ticketmaster case could become a priority under the new administration's Department of Justice.
