On March 28, 2016, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer visited the Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial in Rochester to say that cyber scalpers are using bots to scoop up thousands of popular concert tickets, to resell on other websites for outrageous prices. Schumer said that the recent incident involving cyber scalpers using computer programs, called “bots,” to purchase thousands of tickets for Bruce Springsteen concert left thousands of Springsteen fans in Rochester and Upstate New York ticket-less. Schumer therefore announced he will introduce legislation to crack down on bots, helping to fix the broken system of ticket purchasing.
