Eric Church Fights Ticket Scalping Bots

(Radio.com) In an effort to fight online scalping bots, Eric Church has canceled 25,000 tickets originally purchased by such programs. It's the latest way the country singer has attempted to ensure tickets get into the hands of fans rather than pass through a third-party system.

"We're getting better at identifying who the scalpers are," Church added about this new method of canceling suspicious bulk purchases. Read more here.
