Change the headline to accurately reflect the content of the article, such as 'New Law Impacts Ticket Resales for Inter Miami Games and Eras Tour'

Cherry-picking data

The article selectively focuses on the increase in ticket prices for Inter Miami matches since Lionel Messi joined the team, without providing a broader context.

In particular, prices of tickets to Inter Miami matches surged to $255 a piece from $30 (an 11.76 increase) since Messi joined The Herons in July.

Omission of key information

The article fails to mention the specific details of the new law and its implications, leaving readers with incomplete information.

A new law in the U.S. could mean that fans who have taken up the habit of making a quick buck from reselling tickets for hundreds of dollars to Inter Miami games or the Eras Tour will be taxed by the IRS in 2024.

Provide more details about the new law, including its specific provisions and how it will be implemented

Explain the reasons behind the new law and its potential impact on ticket resellers

Biased language

The article uses biased language, such as referring to ticket resellers as individuals who are 'making a quick buck' and 'covering the cost of an entire season of tickets.'

Steele added that he has no problem with 'giving Uncle Sam his fair share' but that will most likely mean that he will have to fill out a 1099-K form, which used to only be filled out by users who had received over $20,000 in revenue and more than 200 transactions in ticket resales.

Use neutral language to describe ticket resellers and their motivations

Avoid using phrases that imply negative intentions or financial gain
