Garth Brooks broke another ticket sales record for his upcoming concert at Ford Field, selling more than 70,000 tickets in 90 minutes this morning. The show, set to take place on February 22, 2020, was just announced earlier this month. According to Brooks’ publicist, more than 70,000 bought tickets, marking an all-time high for the Detroit Lions’ stadium. Typically, the maximum capacity for sold-out Ford Field shows is about 50,000, The Detroit Free Press notes, and standard football capacity is about 65,000. However, the stadium can be extended when needed – like with the 2006 Super Bowl. The stadium’s attendance record is 80,103 for Wrestlemania 23 in 2007. Throughout the venue’s history, Taylor Swift, U2, Eminem, and the Rolling Stones have performed. Brooks last performance in the city was back in 2015, followed by shows in Michigan in 2016 at Grand Rapids’ Van Andel Arena. Brooks has continued to break record on his ongoing stadium tour; he broke the Heinz Field sales record for his sold-out show at the Pittsburgh stadium this past February, followed by breaking the record for the biggest concert at the Bronco’s Mile High Stadium in Denver. More seats needed to be added to his stop at Idaho’s Albertsons Stadium to meet high demand, and Neyland Stadium’s ticket sales record was broken within minutes of going on sale. In addition to the stadium shows, Brooks embarked on seven Dive Bar stops with Blake Shelton, hitting intimate bars across the U.S. to support their new single of the same name. While the Ford Field concert is his only announced upcoming concert, he is expected to reveal more over the next two years.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee announced Thursday it would be investigating the live event ticketing industry, looking for “potential unfair and deceptive practices” within, according to a press release . Letters were sent to Live Nation, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), Tickets.com, StubHub, Vivid Seats, and TicketNetwork requesting details on business practices from each and a briefing to take place by December 12 th . “The Committee, which has broad jurisdiction over consumer protection issues, is concerned about potentially unfair and deceptive practices occurring in the primary and secondary ticket marketplace,” the letters read. “Many of [such practices] have been documented in consumer complaints, press stories, and government reports.” Chairman Frank Pallone Jr. (D-NJ) and ranking member Greg Walden (R-OR) were lead signatories on the letters, which also bore the signatures of subcommittee chairs and ranking members Diana DeGette (D-CO), Brett Guthrie (R-KY), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and Cathy McMorris (R-WA). The committee, Billboard points out , is one of the most powerful on Capital Hill. It was instrumental in the 2016 passage of the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act, as well as initiating the process that led to the April 2018 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on ticketing . In July 2018, Rep. Pallone co-authored a letter to the Federal Trade Commission with Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) asking that organization to investigate the ticketing marketplaces, which led to the June Online Event Tickets Workshop in Washington D.C. “Nonetheless… consumers still face a host of troubling practices and trends in the ticketing industry,” the letters continue. “Many of these issues relate to a lack of transparency and fairness, which places consumers at an unfair advantage when attempting to buy tickets in the current marketplace.” In the letters to the six companies expected to provide briefings, committee members highlighted several factors it felt worth exploring in this inquiry. All six saw mention of high, hidden fees in the ticket purchasing process and the perceived harms of “speculative” ticket listings. All but Tickets.com saw a bullet related to potentially deceptive practices involving websites posing as “official” venue or artist pages. The three “primary” sellers also saw mention of the lack of transparency inherent in the ticket sale process, and how playing games with ticket availability can harm consumers. Finally, Live Nation and AEG saw a fifth point related to harmful restrictions placed on ticket transferability, such as those that caused a fiasco at a recent Black Keys show in Los Angeles when Ticketmaster turned on its SafeTix rotating barcode system without disclosing it to consumers. “TicketNetwork thanks the Committee for its commitment to a fair and impartial look into the live event ticketing industry,” reads a statement released by TicketNetwork on Friday afternoon. “For too long, anti-competitive and opaque practices by some businesses have bred consumer confusion and angst, which harms the entire live event ecosystem. “We look forward to joining the other invited businesses providing insight to the Committee. We are confident that this process can help illuminate a path to a more equitable, transparent, and robust live event ticketing marketplace for consumers and businesses alike.” Following the consumer points were a series of questions directed at each company, which they are expected to provide in coming weeks.

StubHub issued a statement expressing its support for the investigation and its willingness to provide its input. “StubHub applauds the Committee’s investigation into the live event ticketing industry,” says Laura Dooley, director of government relations for the eBay-owned marketplace in a statement quoted by the Los Angeles Times . “We share the Committee’s interest in addressing anti-competitive practices. We believe that a fair and competitive ticketing industry unequivocally supports the interests of fans. We look forward to being a partner in this process.” The post House Committee Announces Investigation Into Live Event Ticketing appeared first on TicketNews .
Virtual concerts are becoming more and more prevalent in the music scene, and now, the entertainment technology company Wave is introducing the world’s first multi-channel virtual entertainment platform for live concerts. The new platform uses live broadcast technology that allows artists to perform live for their fans around the world through different digital channels. The “cutting-edge” technology transforms the artist into a digital avatar and then casts them onto a virtual stage; the avatar is customized to accurately represent the artist’s style and actions. Additionally, fans will be able to appear as an avatar in the audience and can chat with other attendees around them using the company’s VR and PC desktop apps – accessible with Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, and other devices. The CEO and co-founder of Wave, Adam Arrigo, said in a statement that the next generation of viewers are “flocking to digital channels of all kinds to find engaging entertainment.” “Gaming, the fastest-growing entertainment category, has become a driving force in music discovery,”Arrigo said. “Today, we are extending the groundbreaking work we’ve done in VR to make virtual concerts ore braid-reaching, so that artists can unleash their creativity and reach fans across any digital, social, or gaming platform.” Earlier this year, violinist Lindsey Sterling took advantage of the platform and performed a virtual concerts for 400,000 fans around the world. “That’s me, that’s how I move, that’s me performing,” she said in a video describing the concert. “And I got to experience it with people around the world and feel their energy even from a virtual screen was really cool. It was just really fun to bring this world to live with ideas and things that could never happen in a practical, real show.” While artists have delved into the virtual world in the past – like Minecraft’s Coalchella in 2018 and the U2 concert in Second Life back in 2008 – virtual concerts have been on the rise in 2019. Earlier this year, Marshmello held a concert inside of the smash-hit video game Fortnite , where the DJ broke a record for having 10 million concurrent users attending the concert at the same time. Similar to Wave’s avatar feature, people within the game were able to see other people around them – only 100 at a time – and interact. Other virtual concerts this year included Korn in AdventureQuest and Kane Brown and Marshmello’s performance on Good Morning America . Additionally, some artists like Post Malone and Billie Eilish have partnered with Oculus VR to allow fans with VR headsets to attend their shows across the globe. With more and more options to explore virtual reality, its likely that we’ll see even more concerts like this in the future. To learn more about Wave, visit their website .

Ticketmaster announced that it has renewed its partnership with MetLife Stadium and will serve as the official ticketing partner for all events. The renewed partnership means that Ticketmaster will provide primary and secondary tickets for the New York Jets and New York Giants’ home games, as well as other live events at MetLife Stadium. Ticketmaster Presence, the company’s “next generation digital ticketing and venue access control platform,” will provide fans with faster entry into the stadium, fraud protection, and “an unmatched personalized experience for football and live event fans.” Additionally, the Jets and Giants will use Presence’s latest enhancement SafeTix – the widely recognized technology with rotating barcodes that refreshes every 15 seconds. Ron VanDeVeen, MetLife Stadium’s President and CEO said in a release that Ticketmaster has been “an incredible partner since our opening in 2010” and the stadium is excited to partner with the ticketing company once again. “From Giants and Jets home games to the biggest concerts in North America, MetLife Stadium is consistency delivering the most exciting live events,” VanDeVeen said. “Now, thanks to Ticketmaster’s digital ticketing technology, these events will become even more enjoyable, as fans will have peace of mind that their ticket is real, thanks to Ticketmaster SafeTix eliminating fraud.” MetLife Stadium, which opened back in 2010, has hosted several major events like Super Bowl XLVIII, Wrestlemania 29 and 35, and the International Champions Cup. Additionally, it’s been a host for sold-out concerts from A-list performers Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Eminem and Rihanna, Beyonce, U2, and Bruce Springsteen. Clay Luther, the Co-Head of Sports for Ticketmaster North America, even described the stadium as “one of the greatest venues in the world today.” “With presence of SafeTix, NFL fans will now see a frictionless experience combined with a never-before-seen level of ticket security due to this innovative technology that is effectively eliminating fraud,” Luther said. “It’s that kind of forward thinking that makes MetLife Stadium such an appealing space for the biggest artists and the best live events.” MetLife will close out 2019 with New York Jets games against the Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins, and Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as New York Giants games against the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles. Early next year, the New York Guardians will take on the Tampa Bay Vipers, Los Angeles Wildcats, St. Louis Battlehawks, and DC Defenders. Chesney is also slated to perform next August on his 2020 Chillaxification Tour. The post Ticketmaster Renews Partnership with MetLife Stadium appeared first on TicketNews .

TikTok, the rising short-video mobile sharing platform, is testing a new music-related feature in Thailand that allows concertgoers to buy tickets in the app. According to parent company Music:)ally, TikTok has partnered with a handful of local companies like the concert promoter BEC Tero, Neon Festivals, the ticketing firm Ticketmelon, and the cinema chain Major Cineplex. TikTok will sell 500 film and concert tickets for artists like Green Day and Mumford & Sons, as well as the festival Neon Countdown. This test will run from November 19 to December 31. The company hopes that this limited-time test run in Thailand – where 76 percent of the recorded music market in 2018 was streaming, according to IFPI numbers – will prepare for potential global endeavors. “Under the TikTok Tickets programme, entertainment partners utilise TikTok’s strength as a preferred platform among creative young audiences to increase their brand exposure and reach millions of TikTok users in Thailand,” TikTok’s head of music in Thailand, Suppawat Berananda, told the Bangkok Post. Earlier this week, it was announced that TikTok reached a new milestone as the platform has been downloaded more than 1.5 billion times from the Apple App Store and Android’s Google Play, pulling in 614 million downloads in just 2019. The company noted that it is currently the third most downloaded app of the year. The post Video Platform TikTok Tests Ticket-Selling Feature In Thailand appeared first on TicketNews .
Several Enrique Iglesias concerts across Europe have been cancelled after the fraudulent promoter was accused of running off with around €1 million. According to Pollstar , a Bulgarian promoter claimed to represent ArtBG and has scammed ticket buyers, venues, and artists after posing as a local promoter. The situation unfolded after the Latvian ticket agency Bilesu Serviss announced that Enrique Iglesias’ All The Hits Live concert in Arena Riga has been cancelled. All vendors reportedly received a statement from CAA which noted that Iglesias’ shows in Croatia, Latvia, and Belarus have been called-off. “ArtBG, the concert tour promoter, producer, and event organizer, have not compiled nor fulfilled their contractual obligations with the venues and all production elements for these three events,” the statement read. “All of this makes it impossible to put on the show that our fans deserve. Safety for our fans and crew is paramount and we cannot guarantee this for everyone without the promoter fulfilling their obligations. It is simply too big of a risk. “Our fans are sacred to us and it is painful to have to do this. We hope to find new dates in the future. Together, with vendors and venues, we are devoted to make the responsible party, ArtBG, held responsible for their actions.” After further digging, Pollstar found that Iglesias isn’t alone; ArtBG allegedly posed as a local promoter for artists like Bryan Adams, Jose Carreras, and Maluma. A source told the publication from Athens that the fraudulent promoter “took all the ticketing money and left” without paying the artists nor the venues. At this time, tickets can not be refunded until the State Police responds to Bilesu Serviss’ fraud claim. ArtBG is reportedly on the run with another partner, holding onto an estimated €1 million.
