10:33  

Talk about Taylor swift tickets controversy, mention her Era’s tour etc. 

FACTS: 

Live Nation and Ticketmaster as a conglomerate and a monopoly 

  • Taylor Swift’s 2023 Tour [the era’s tour] USA Leg was announced 
  • Ticketmaster owns Live nation  
  • TicketMaster has a thing called Dynamic Pricing, which basically means the higher the demand, the higher the price of the tickets rise 
  • TicketMaster makes more money by having Scalpers and Bots buying tons of tickets and reselling them for ridiculous prices- for example, they were selling Taylor tickets for over $60,000. Original tickets were priced at $49 – $400, the price rises the closer you are to the stage.  
  • Tickets to see Taylor Swift live in concert 
  • Ticketmaster handpicked out ‘Verified Fans’ allowing fans to get a presale code: they can buy tickets before the general sale. Ticketmaster gave out far more verified fan presale codes than the website could handle, resulting in a massive glitch with the system on the day. People were in the queue for over 4 hours, either with an extremely overpriced ticket as they didn’t want to miss out on seeing Taylor live, or disappointed with no ticket. 
  • Tickets to see Taylor swift sold so swiftly the general public never even had a chance to buy.
