Live Nation has publicly stated that the FTC's lawsuit concerning the BOTS Act is misguided. The company argues that the agency is misinterpreting and attempting to invert the Act's original intent. If the FTC prevails, ticketing firms operating their own resale platforms could face legal consequences for reselling tickets when they had knowledge of their origins.
