Pop superstar Taylor Swift said on Friday it was 'excruciating' for her to watch fans struggle to secure tickets for her upcoming U.S. tour after she had been assured that Ticketmaster LYV.N could handle large demand.

Live Nation Entertainment said late on Friday that it takes its responsibilities under the anti-trust laws "seriously" and "does not engage in behaviors that could justify antitrust litigation." Ticketmaster said late on Friday it wanted to apologize to "Taylor and all of her fans - especially those who had a terrible experience trying to buy tickets."
Swift said it was "truly amazing" that 2.4 million people had bought tickets, "but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them." Live Nation and Ticketmaster merged in a 2010 deal approved by the Justice Department over opposition from some lawmakers and musicians who worried the combined company would become too powerful.
