@ScottFriedman3 @MattHaneySF Did any of these gov officials pass an ECON 101 class? Lol. Yes let's decrease supply...to decrease prices???? and then give LESS options because it won't create a black markets of insanely priced seats that are limited??? Unreal
English
.@MattHaneySF is the culprit of the 10% 🎟️ resale bill in the State of California.
Mr. Hanley wants a closed 🎟️ market and wants Californians to pay Augusta National ticket prices for all big acts once this bill is eventually passed.
Mr. Hanley is not a very bright individual and encourage you all to tell him how you feel about this….

Real prices for Masters badges (4 days) with Augusta National crackdown.

@future_of_music @esneaks921 Resale caps will destroy secondary markets. Leading to black markets. This why resale markets happened in first place-80s and 90s people had no options unless buying on street or shady side deals on websites. This will happen again if things are capped.
English
@esneaks921 Resale caps can’t magically generate supply but they can lead to better outcomes for fans who get tickets and those who miss out. There’s no way to get tix to everyone who wants them but there is a way to stop people from getting ripped off.

🚨New from the trial: in emails to TM head of ticketing, Live Nation CEO:
☑️says Verified Fan only exists to "tell artist agent that you tried to stop scalpers,"
☑️complains about artists who wanted TM to do more to protect fans
☑️asks "why do we care what ends up on secondary?"

@bigeastrewind Love this one thing I don't always see mentioned with Calhoun regarding Nadav was just how early he was with "euro" players. Now its commonplace but in 1990 he mining and smart enough to mine some of best euro players and bring them to Uconn

@3pargolf @ScottFriedman3 @BlueJays Do you feel this strongly about housing markets, cars, literally anything else in the usa that's a free an open market? Asking for a friend
English
@ScottFriedman3 @BlueJays Go fuck yourself fucking criminals jacking prices up. Scott’s a re-tard people

Kudos to @bluejays for lobbying to keep the Toronto, Ontario 🎟️ market open with zero resale restrictions.
This letter was sent to their STHs earlier today. bluejays.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1H…

@x6pnda @forcemm @ScottFriedman3 @CheoffreyRoth @Michael_Rapino @ThePussycatDoll @Ticketmaster Yup 💯. Only options is unsafe channels like the "old" days again.
English
@forcemm @ScottFriedman3 @CheoffreyRoth @Michael_Rapino @ThePussycatDoll @Ticketmaster No litteraly moved to the streets and stuff like European craigslist.... Nothing changed except higher face value so higher prices for fans
English
.@Michael_Rapino better charge $75 for a lawn chair rental and $500 for VIP parking for @ThePussycatDoll to make up for horrific ticket sales.
Or better tell Mr. Baker!

@LiveNationON Toronto/Ontario you are now screwed. Limited options and your only partner is TM LN. Im sure they will treat you fairly...😂😂😂
English
@jomaticaaa Again resale caps mean nothing as this will just make high face value more justifable. People reselling need to get out of their tickets. Ticketmaster doesn't, they can eat the tickets and still sleep soundly
English
ticketmaster now showing the original price vs resale price….

@JimmyQ4 @artvandelay2323 @newyorkgrooovee OOC wins. Uconn played an insanely hard ooc schedule. BYU, Kansas, Illinois, Arizona, Florida, Texas. Beat everyone except Arizona. Thats what essentially got them a 2 seed.
English
@artvandelay2323 @newyorkgrooovee If this is the worst Big East in 45 years, how does a team ranked in the top 6 all year not win the championship and tournament, yet is still a 2 seed?
English
To highlight just how bad St. John’s was shafted by the NCAA tournament selection committee, take a look at this seeding stat:
Since 2000, 43 power conference teams have won both their conference regular season & tournament titles.
Here’s how those teams were seeded…
Only 2019 the Villanova Wildcats (6 Seed) earned a seed worse than St. John’s (5 Seed).

@GregKimble8 But brokers who engage in free market business are the problem of course....NOT the people who control ALL the tickets.
English
@jacksoble56 Wow 100% right. I can't imagine a big time coach EVER uttering the jobs done without a NC, at an elite school, hes not coaching miami of Ohio, its freaking ND! Plus he had 10 years there. Not like 3,4. 10. You thought job was done? Terrible mindset.
English
Two things can be true:
1. Brian Kelly is, generally speaking, a good football coach who left Notre Dame better than he found it.
2. He was absolutely never taking Notre Dame further than he did, and comments like this explain why. on3.com/teams/notre-da…
College Sports on SiriusXM@SXMCollege
"We had no intentions of leaving Notre Dame." Brian Kelly reflects on the difficult decision to leave Notre Dame for LSU in 2021 with @DustyDvoracek & @dannykanell.

@RubenGallego Funny because Obama (dem) created this mess allowing live nation and TM to merge. He was told many times not to...he created the monopoly
English
Next time a $70 concert ticket turns into $180 at checkout, you can thank Trump.
The government had a case to break up the Live Nation–Ticketmaster monopoly, but Trump just let them off the hook. They control 70% of tickets and venues, so they set the prices, the fees, and where artists play.
That $50 “service fee” isn’t the market. It’s a monopoly ripping you off and Trump is letting it happen.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook. The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly. But Trump just let them settle out of court.
English
@tkngcrzyplls @ticket_rights Scalpers or people who buy and resell which includes virtually anyone are in control over an entire free market? Don't think so. Those who control the actual tickets themselves are the ones in control. Not people who play within the free market system.
English
@ticket_rights Yes, let's use fear mongering to keep scalpers in control.
English
The best way for artists to protect their fans in the ticket market is to allow for open market practices. Artists like Noah Kahan mean well by their fans, but are being advised down paths of market manipulation that actually hurt their fans. Here’s how 🧵:
English
@Ticket_Help2022 More than just "some" but mostly I agree. Id love to see the return of tickets on sale at the box office.
English
It’s going to sell out, but not sure why people worth millions and hundreds of millions want to get political and alienate certain fans. They have no sense of reality of the real world.
Music is about bringing people together, not pushing people apart.
English
@HurleysArmy @UConnHuskyAD Love this idea....THIS is how it should be done. Keep tickets free, but have a point system for attendance. Also allow transferability
English
@UConnHuskyAD A few schools have used a points system. For every 15 min before tip a student scans in they get X amount of points. Points accumulate and give you higher priority for games (either pre-season or during). Tickets thru student ID and can only transfer between ID’s
English
We’re open to anything. We will attempt to do some different for the games this season, including Wed. But we’re going to need to dig into this and have some discussions with students this off season. Season ticket holder no shows is a different conversation but just as important
Kyle LeGeyt@Klege23
@UConnHuskyAD Would be interested in your thoughts of the idea of having a cost to tickets instead of a free draw system for students. Feels like the environment would instantly be better with fans that’s actually care about the games and won’t just no show due to the paying aspect.
English
@seamercx @CelticsGRD Thanks for analysis. The reality is that crap uppers aren't worth 95 a ticket nevermind 105. The majority sold between 50-70 this year with many going for even less. No reason to be a STH anymore
English
@CelticsGRD I did a YoY analysis: 109.8% increase from 2022-23 to 2026-27 (corner balcony seats).
We've seen talented, costly players with small increases. We saw a Finals appearance with a small increase. That $6B sale is going to keep a lot of great fans and families out of the garden.
English
Celtics season ticket holders: maybe don’t check your email today… unless you’re prepared to be very disappointed.
English
@jaxjaxjax1234 @kenziesversion That won't stop things. Just push it to black markets that are unregulated like it was before when resale was totally outlawed. Additionally much higher prices. Bottom line transparency and open markets IS the answer for all.
English
@rage123669 @kenziesversion I didn’t say stop transfer. But don’t allow the tickets to be sold for higher than their face value.
English
okay but genuinely confused isn’t it only resell on ticketmaster????? so are these tickets fake?????
Paige ❤️🔥@antiheropaige
Did anyone actually get @NoahKahan tickets in the presale or just the bots
English
@GrandeTourNews How about just bring back buying in person at box offices for the first week. Then after that whats left goes online. Simple.
English
Bring back presales with unique codes
Bring back exclusive artist presales that not everyone can participate in
Bring back 2-4 ticket limits
Bring back specific credit card presales
Bring back good vip packages. NOBODY cares about a VIP lounge.
Bring back normal standard ticket prices
That is all 💙
English
@jaxjaxjax1234 @kenziesversion No you don't need legislation. Havent people noticed yet the MORE you stop transfer the higher the prices? The reason is simple, less options means less competition, less competition means higher prices. Tale as old as time. More transferability means more people can sell.
English
@kenziesversion That looks like StubHub. Don’t think they can prevent third party resale sites. We need legislation around this
English
@FriendPokemon3 @concertleaks Someone's been down the rabbit hole and seen all the secrects. Keep educating the masses. They've been brainwashed.
