Kid Rock joins Trump as president signs executive order targeting ticket scalping

With Kid Rock by his side, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday that he said will help curb ticket scalping and bring "commonsense" changes to the way live entertainment events are priced.

Trump said signing the order is "a big step" toward stopping scalping.

Kid Rock, who wore a red, white, and blue outfit that featured an American flag, was with Trump as the president inked the order. He said he wants the best for his fans and praised Trump's move.

"Make America fun again," Kid Rock said.

As part of the order, Trump said he urged the Federal Trade Commission to work with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to ensure that scalpers offering tickets at higher prices than their face value comply with all Internal Revenue Service rules, according to a fact sheet released by the White House.
