Kid Rock is ready to make changes regarding concert ticket pricing.
On Saturday, December 14, the 53-year-old musician — a staunch supporter of Donald Trump — took to his Instagram to let followers know he wants to work with the president-elect's Attorney General nominee, Pam Bondi, to make ticket prices reasonable again.
The country rock star posted a black-and-white selfie of himself wearing a hat, sunglasses, and leather jacket while smiling with the former Florida Attorney General.
In his caption, the "All Summer Long" singer explained he plans to go after the people and companies trying to charge absurd prices for concert tickets.
"What a treat to break bread with our soon to be Attorney General @pambondi. I look forward to working with her and the whole administration to help fix the fiasco of buying concert tickets," the Michigan native wrote.
"Gonna open a can of whoop ass on the bots, scalpers, venues, ticketing companies, managers and artists alike who rip off and deceive the public with the horse s**t that has gone on for decades and only gotten worse. Whoever in charge that wants to help fix this, get your ass to the table, otherwise, F**k Around and Find Out. Kid Rock #MAGA," he concluded.
Some of Kid Rock's 1.4 million followers took to the comment section to agree that ticket prices are too high and to express their gratitude for his efforts to address the issue.
"I cannot wait for this [to] happen! People have been ripped off for so long! 💙," one fan commented.
Another person wrote, "Yes please do!! I'm sick of these 3rd party brokers buying up all of the concert tickets and then re-selling them at double and triple the original price!!"
"We truly appreciate it. I love taking my 13 year-old daughter to concerts, but when the fees are a third of the price, it's ridiculous," someone else commented.
Last month, Kid Rock joked about getting a made up spot in Trump's cabinet. He posted on X (formerly Twitter), "People keep asking if I have a spot in President Trump's cabinet....I do....Head of The Liquor Cabinet!!"
While there is no liquor cabinet, it seems the "Picture" singer wants to work with real members of the Trump administration to tackle ticket fees.
