Deputy Hamlet Almaguer, also from Morena, said that his party will request the appearance of Ticketmaster representatives before Congress for what happened at the Bad Bunny concert.
“Ticketmaster is an economic agent that has substantial market power in the issuance of tickets in Mexico,” he said. “There are indications that an important group of consumers is being affected,” he added.

Euripides Flores, Morena’s representative before the National Electoral Institute (INE), said that “Ticketmaster corruption must be ended.”
“We went to the Bad Bunny concert and the section where we bought was supposed to be sold outthe reality is that it is at 75% ”, he pointed out.
The Federal Consumer Attorney’s Office reported that it has requested Ticketmaster “a report explaining what has caused this situation with the tickets, which has been reported through social networks and the media.”
“Likewise, we call on affected consumers to present their complaints so that we can give them attention in the corresponding legal terms; and in the event that they are victims of forged tickets, guide them so that they go to the corresponding instances because it is the commission of a crime, ”he added.
Ticketmaster reported that in a statement that it will reimburse fans who purchased legitimate tickets that could not access the concert on Friday the 9th of Puerto Rican singer Benito Antonio Martínez, better known as Bad Bunny.
The company reported that the access problems were the result of “the unprecedented presentation of false tickets.”
Ricardo Monreal, coordinator of the Morena bench in the Senate of the Republic, announced on Friday that he presented an initiative that seeks to regulate the sale of tickets for concerts and events, and thus avoid the abuse of overpricing.
Regarding the Bad Bunny concert, the senator shared the details of this initiative with which he pointed out, “it will prevent scalpers from telling you: ‘I’m sorry, baby'”.
