Now the buzz has attracted the attention of several top legal officials. State attorneys general in Nevada, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania are opening investigations into the situation.

“Trouble, trouble, trouble,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro tweeted on Thursday (a reference to Swift’s single “I Knew You Were Trouble”). “Having trouble using Ticketmaster? Pennsylvanians experiencing problems using the site should submit a complaint to my office.”

Meanwhile, Nevada’s attorney general office also tweeted that they had received complaints about the ticket sales. “We are investigating the company for alleged deceptive or unfair trade practices,” the statement reads.

Tennessee’s attorney general Jonathan Skrmetti has also told news outlets that he would be looking into the situation as well. “There are no allegations at this time of any misconduct, but as the attorney general it’s my job to ensure that the consumer protection laws and antitrust laws in Tennessee are being honored,” he told the Associated Press.

However, Skrmetti warned that the investigations would not be quick. “They’re going to start doing the basic grunt work with discovery, getting documents, looking into exactly what happened, and exactly what representations were made,” Skrmetti told The Tennessee Star. “We’ll do an analysis of the market for concert tickets and see if there might be an antitrust issue there…It’s going to be a long time. It could take awhile.”
