Even the largest ticket sales and distribution company, Ticketmaster, stumbled, fell, and tainted its reputation by staying down when it was unable to handle the predictably overwhelming turnout for Taylor Swift’s Era tour tickets! In effect, millions of fans (or Swifties, as they call themselves) accused it of deceit, and even Congress took to reviewing its merger with Live Nation.  

 

It was a great mess, and all Ticketmaster did in recompense (putting a measly bandaid on the “thousand cuts” ) was apologize!

 

While it is not possible to avoid adversities altogether, not getting back up is simply unacceptable. It may seem like an impossible task to manage the damage incurred, but being prepared helps control and limit the spiraling nature of a crisis.
