Ticketmaster is apologizing after a Taylor Swift ticket fiasco left fans empty-handed. Ticketmaster tweeted out the apology after it canceled the public sale of tickets to Taylor Swift's upcoming concert tour this past Friday. The company said an "unprecedented" amount of traffic flooded its site, and this led to longer wait times, as well as some fans losing tickets they selected due to passcode validation errors. Ticketmaster claims that, in order to meet the demand, Swift would have to put on 900 shows. Not only did the situation anger Taylor Swift, but the Department of Justice announced it is opening an anti-trust investigation into Ticketmaster's owner, Live Nation.
