Kid Rock joins Trump as president signs executive order targeting ticket scalping
2 min read
With Kid Rock by his side, President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order he said will help curb ticket scalping and bring "commonsense" changes to the way live entertainment events are priced.
Trump said scalping is a huge problem in the U.S., adding that signing the order is "a big step" toward stopping it from continuing.
Kid Rock, a singer-songwriter whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, wore a red, white, and blue outfit that featured an American flag, as the president inked the order. He said he wants the best for his fans and praised Trump’s move.
"Anyone who’s bought a concert ticket in the last decade, maybe 20 years — no matter what your politics are — knows this is a conundrum," Kid Rock said.
