Opinion: Don’t let Ticketmaster and AXS write Colorado laws

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:24:40 GMT

Last week, lawmakers gave permission to Live Nation’s Ticketmaster and AEG’s AXS to deceive consumers when tickets go on sale, and to turn a blind eye to illegal software bots that scoop up tickets before humans can instead of reporting their usage to law enforcement. Gov. Jared Polis should unequivocally veto this legislation.The original draft of Senate Bill 60 while titled “Consumer Protection in Event Ticketing Sales” was not designed to protect consumers. Instead, it cleverly consolidated power to favor the ticketing duopoly of Ticketmaster and AXS to the detriment of the very “consumers” the bill claimed to protect.These were the companies that pushed for the legislation and participated in its initial drafting. Consumer organizations were never consulted. It was a rare bill that claimed to protect consumers yet did not have the endorsement of a single consumer protection group. In fact, some of the largest and longest-standing advocates actively opposed the bill because of th...

By Mike Schneider | Associated PressNew results from a U.S. Census Bureau simulation suggests a significant number of noncitizens were missed in the 2020 census, a national head count during which the Trump administration tried but failed to prevent people in the country illegally from being tallied.A simulated head count by the statistical agency utilized 31 types of administrative records from government agencies and third-party sources to produce estimates of the U.S. population on April 1, 2020 that could be compared to the survey-like responses used in the last official tally of every U.S. resident. The simulation was an experiment which doesn’t change the results of the once-a-decade count of every U.S. resident that helps determine political power and the distribution of $1.5 trillion in federal funding in the U.S.Almost a fifth of noncitizens found in the administrative records had addresses that couldn’t be matched in the 2020 census, suggesting that “a si...
