Brazil's consumer protection agency has ordered ticket resale platforms like StubHub and Viagogo to halt operations due to concerns over compliance with new anti-touting laws. This action comes ahead of major BTS concerts in the country. The enforcement also follows criticism from artists such as Sam Fender and Garth Brooks regarding the use of ticketing bots.
