Lin-Manuel Miranda Joins Fight Against Scalper Bots

(Radio.com) Lin-Manuel Miranda is dedicated to ensuring everyone has equal access to art. That includes supporting legislation that would make it far more difficult for scalpers to use bot programs to buy and resell hundreds of tickets at a time.
