More than two dozen fans have filed lawsuits against Ticketmaster over the Taylor Swift tickets fiasco, alleging that the ticketing giant and Live Nation Entertainment subsidiary engaged in fraud, price fixing, antitrust violations, and even “intentional deception.” The lawsuit was filed in California – where both Ticketmaster and Live Nation Entertainment are headquartered – on Friday. “Ticketmaster is a monopoly that is only interested in taking every dollar it can from a captive public,” according to the lawsuit . The plaintiffs are seeking a penalty of $2,500 against Ticketmaster for every violation of Business and Professions Code, section 17200. At its core, the lawsuit says that Ticketmaster and its parent “intentionally and purposely mislead TaylorSwiftTix presale ticket holders by providing codes to 1.4 million ‘verified fans,’” despite there being far less inventory than could support a sale open to that many people. “Millions of fans waited up to eight hours and were unable to purchase tickets as a result of insufficient ticket releases,” the lawsuit said. “Ticketmaster intentionally provided codes when it could not satisfy demands.” Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour reportedly saw unprecedented demand when it went on sale in November, with millions clogging Ticketmaster’s systems when tickets became available – both those with “verified” codes for access, and others who were trying anyways after the demand registration and surge-pricing engine did not deem them worthy for a code. Fans experienced massive waits, glitches, and delays as the system failed repeatedly amid the surged traffic. Then, Ticketmaster and Live Nation opted to cancel the general ticket sale entirely, claiming that no inventory remained, though many question what percentage of the house was held back for later sale , or distributed through partners. In the aftermath, Ticketmaster and Live Nation has been subject to enormous anger and scrutiny, from fans and lawmakers alike. Swift herself slammed the sales process, though she avoided calling out the companies by name: “I’m not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could,” she said in a statement posted to social media . “It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.” Lawmakers have been less hesitant to call out the companies involved, with many demanding a probe of the company for allegations of monopolistic behavior . The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights will hold hearings regarding the company and competition concerns , though a date has not yet been set. While all of the legal battles will play out over months and years ahead, Taylor Swift tickets are still available for consumers who did not get them during the initial sales period through resale marketplaces.

The Weeknd announced the expansion of his After Hours Til Dawn tour which has UK, Europe and Latin America stops from the early summer through to the fall of 2023. Tickets for the European shows go on sale starting Friday, December 2, tickets for the Colombia shows will be available starting Saturday, December 3, while tickets for the other South American concerts will go on sale starting Thursday, December 8. Fans can register here for presale access to the 2023 dates. The second leg of his After Hours Til Dawn global stadium tour is scheduled to begin from Etihad Stadium in Manchester, UK on June 10, making stops at Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Italy, and more, throughout June, July, and August until wrapping up European leg in Tallinn, Estonia on August 12. On September 29 starts the Latin American run, with a show at Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City. It tours Colombia, Brazil, Argentina in October before closing in Santiago, Chile on October 15. The announcement of the tour’s overseas dates came on the heels of its sold-out North American leg which concluded at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California in November 27. The first leg of the musician’s stadium tour finally kicked off in 2022 summer after postponements and cancellations spanning over two years due to COVID-19. The North American tour is said to have broken attendance records and grossed over $130 million dollars. After Hours Til Dawn tour celebrates The Weeknd’s 2020 album After Hours (it’s hit single “Blinding Lights” was named the new No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 song of all time, surpassing Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit “The Twist”), as well as his critically-acclaimed album Dawn FM , which was released January 2022. Kaytranada and Mike Dean will join The Weeknd on all European dates. An advocate for racial equality and food security, The Weeknd was appointed a World Food Programme Goodwill Ambassador in 2021. The fund for United Nations World Food Programme raised money during the North American leg of the tour through ticket sales, proceeds from an exclusive tour t-shirt, and a $500,000 donation directly from The Weeknd. The musician will again partner with the U.N. World Food Programme to contribute funds from the second leg of the tour to the XO Humanitarian Fund, which supports the organization’s response to the unprecedented global hunger crisis. €1 from each ticket sold across Europe, £1 in the UK and the $1 equivalent in countries across Latin America will go to this cause.

Garth Brooks is apparently a hot ticket in Las Vegas. The singer announced plans to extend his Garth Brooks/Plus ONE residency at Caesar’s Palace into 2024, with the new show dates to be revealed in May when the 2023 round of shows kicks off. The extension comes on the heels of what he and promoter Live Nation described as “overwhelming” demand for tickets to the first batch of shows announced in November. “You’re scared to death, you know, when they tell you that they’re going to put on a whole year of shows. And then the first day of on-sale they call you and tell you that the whole year is gone,” Brooks said in the announcement of the extension. “That’s an amazing feeling, as you can imagine. And all of a sudden it hits you – ‘They want to extend this!’ Well, (laughs) the only thing better than one year at Caesars Palace in Vegas would be two years, right?!! So I’m there!!” Due to extraordinary demand Garth Brooks/Plus One Las Vegas Residency @ColosseumatCP is extending through 2024. More information: https://t.co/TxAVWWlpIR pic.twitter.com/gkOukTAeSZ — Garth Brooks (@garthbrooks) December 1, 2022 Those who were unable to get tickets to the first round of shows will have a second chance to grab tickets in the new run, though it is unclear when they will be made available for sale, or if those who want to purchase tickets will have to sign up for the much-hated Verified Fan registration system once again if they hope to be selected for a shot at the shows. Currently, the Garth Brooks Plus ONE residency is scheduled to kick off on May 18 of 2023, with 18 performances scheduled through the summer, then resuming after a fall pause with nine more dates planned between Thanksgiving and the December holidays.

SeatGeek this week announced a deal that makes it the ticketing partner of Real Salt Lake, the eighth primary ticketing deal for the company with a Major League Soccer franchise. The partnership will launch with the beginning of the 2023 MLS season. “When the team was purchased earlier this year, our new ownership group made it clear that we would work with technology partners that put our fans’ and our supporter groups’ experiences at the forefront,” said Real Salt Lake President, John Kimball. “SeatGeek has become the top choice for some of the most respected clubs and leagues across the globe, and we’re eager for our fans and supporters to experience all it can do.” SeatGeek, a relative newcomer to the primary ticketing business following its initial lifespan as a ticket resale search engine, has made extensive inroads into MLS partnerships, as well as the sport as a whole. The eight franchises partnering with the company make up just under a third of the league’s 29 total organizations. SeatGeek is also partnered with half of the clubs in the English Premier League and recently became the official ticketing platform of the United Soccer League and ten of its clubs. As with all of its deals, Real Salt Lake and SeatGeek will be built on the company’s mobile-only ticketing infrastructure, which allows its partners enormous client data, which the ticketing company touts “enables clients to create new user experiences, offer more robust inventory, and capture better economics.” “In the past, there was a limited choice when it came to choosing a ticketing platform, which almost made it an afterthought to the overall event-going experience,” said Jeff Ianello, EVP of Client Partnerships at SeatGeek. “Now, forward-thinking clubs like RSL see the value of using their technology to surpass the expectations of their supporters.” The deal continues a busy 2022 in dealmaking for SeatGeek, which also recently announced primary deals with the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders as well as the NBA’s Utah Jazz and NHL’s Florida Panthers.

The Washington Commanders settled a lawsuit with Maryland’s Attorney General over the withholding of deposits that season ticket holders were owed. The team will return the deposits to consumers who have not yet received them back as required, and also pay a $250,000 settlement. Maryland AG Brian E. Frosh stated that the team has 30 days to return fans’ deposits as part of the arrangement, pointing out the team violating the state’s Consumer Protection Act. He highlighted the Commanders kept money that was not theirs for many years, and that it belonged to their customers. “Today’s settlement will require the team to return the monies owed to consumers. The Commanders will pay a penalty, and they will be enjoined from engaging in similar practices in the future,” Frosh concluded.sea The “many years” in Frosh’s statement above sometimes corresponds to “a decade”, according to the lawsuit. The office of the Attorney General alleges that since 1996, deposits that should have been returned to season ticket members at the expiration of their contract have instead been held on to by the team, sometimes for as long as a decade. Even when consumers demanded their money be returned, the organization allegedly “intentionally complicated” the return process by imposing additional conditions that were not in the original contracts. The NFL team plays its home games at FedExField in Landover, Maryland while its headquarters and training facility are in Ashburn, Virginia. Founded under a different name in the 30s and changing its name several times until rebranding as the Commanders in 2022, the team is subject to laws in the District because it marks to D.C. residents, who are paying customers as fans, as Attorney Racine puts it. Washington’s settlement in Maryland came shortly on the heels of a similar lawsuit being filed by Washington D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine for implementing an illegal scheme to cheat District ticket holders out of their deposits for season tickets. Before suing the team for cheat season-ticket holders out of money, Racine’s office also filed a complaint against the team, owner Dan Snyder, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell for colluding to deceive residents about an investigation into a toxic work environment and sexual assault allegations. According to the Associated Press , a spokesperson from the team commented that the team did a review of deposits in 2014 and has since conducted an audit of finances and found no evidence of intentionally withholding ticket money or converted unclaimed funds into revenue.

A pair of U.S. Senators are asking the Federal Trade Commission about “bot” attacks in ticketing, questioning whether or not the nefarious software played a role in the disastrous Taylor Swift Eras Tour presale in November. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), the Ranking member and Chair of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Data Security, sent a letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan seeking information about how the regulator is combatting the use and operation of bots in the online ticketing ecosystem. The use of bots – the common terminology for software programs that can rapidly reserve and purchase tickets before humans have a chance to do so – has been illegal since 2016 when President Barack Obama signed the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act into law. Senators Blackburn and Blumenthal were co-sponsors of that bill. “The recent difficulties consumers have faced while attempting to purchase tickets is a serious concern and reflective of anti-competitive conduct in the online ticket marketplace,” said Senator Blackburn. “Fortunately, a solution is already in place that would go a long way in reducing ticket costs and protecting consumers and artists from scammers. The federal government needs to get serious about implementing my legislation, the BOTS Act, immediately.” “The Better Online Ticket Sales Act gave the FTC and state attorneys general the tools they need to crack down on parasitic online ticket bots – now they need to use them. Without adequate enforcement of this anti-consumer software, regular fans are still being unfairly priced out of seeing their favorite singer or hometown sports team. We’d like to know what steps the FTC plans to take to ensure that consumers have fair access to the events they want to see,” said Senator Blumenthal. In their letter, the senators ask four primary questions: Does the FTC have any BOTS Act enforcement matters before it? Why has there only been one enforcement act to date? Are there obstacles to enforcement that Congress should know about? Are there other solutions that Congress should consider beyond BOTS enforcement? As the questions imply, the BOTS Act has seen just one enforcement action taken since it was signed into law in 2016 , with three companies settling charges brought by the Justice Department for violations of the BOTS Act in January 2021. In those cases, the companies involved used bots designed to “fool tests designed to prevent nonhuman visitors” and other programs designed to hide the IP addresses of computers used to purchase tickets, but no evidence of programs that were deployed to purchase tickets. The apparent lack of actionable “bot” violations were pointed to by TicketNetwork spokesperson Sean Burns as a reason that lawmakers shouldn’t just focus on the hot-button software talking point if there is a desire to truly improve the consumer ticketing experience while there is such a harsh spotlight on it from the Taylor Swift situation. “TicketNetwork supports the Federal Trade Commission continuing to enforce existing law banning the use of automated programs to buy tickets in bulk,” he said in a statement issued Thursday. “While the “BOTS” act has been in force since 2016, only one enforcement action has resulted, which shows that the modern ticketing landscape has largely moved on from these tactics.” “While the FTC continues its enforcement of the BOTS act, we would also urge lawmakers to consider the meaningful improvements to the consumer ticket purchase process that transparency on the distribution and timing of the sale of tickets would bring,” he continued. “For years, investigations have shown that promoters and event rights-holders regularly hold back a huge percentage of tickets, allocating some to presales, diverting many to partners, or holding them back during the initial sale to be released for sale at a later date. The net impact of these tactics is to convince the ticket-buying public that shows are sold out, or close to sold out, which keeps prices inflated by implying the available supply of tickets is far lower than it actually is.” The lack of BOTS Act violations hasn’t stopped companies such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation to continually sound the alarm that “bots” have been the central culprit when fans don’t get tickets to high-demand events. Almost universally, fan complaints about ticket sales failures are met with the excuse that bots played a role, including the blaming of the Taylor Swift onsale woes on the problems faced by consumers during that sales process, despite the fact that the “Verified Fan” system – which touts its ability to box out bots as its core function – was in place for every date, even those that were not sold by Ticketmaster. A 2019 report by Distil Networks – a bot mitigation company that is a client of Ticketmaster/Live Nation’s – showed that there is no actual data on bots that get through systems to try to purchase tickets faster than humans, only raw numbers of “bots” detected and stopped. “The simple answer is, we don’t know,” says Edward Roberts, Director of Product Marketing at Distil Networks. “In our role, since we see billions of ticketing requests every year, we concentrate on blocking bots rather than performing forensics to identify the person behind the bot request.” While the company issued research on an aggregate 26.3 billion requests from “bad bots” across 180 domains in the building of its oft-cited ticket industry bot research, it couldn’t specify what amount of that traffic was actually the kind of bot consumers are led to believe is so ubiquitous – bots buying tickets faster than consumers can. It’s primary function isn’t to sort out what “bots” are there to grab tickets, or what ones are just there checking on prices and seats hitting the market as another wave of held-back tickets by promoters hits the web. “It’s key to understand that once Distil detects and blocks a bot, it is prevented from achieving its intended goal, making it even more difficult to understand its true intent.” Distil cites one particularly egregious instance of automated bot-buying in bulk – “One bot alone scooped 1,012 tickets to a concert in one minute” reads the intro to its “Beating bad bots and restoring fairness to ticketing” report. But a bit of googling shows that this instance occurred related to a U2 show – in 2014. Two years prior to the passage of the BOTS act. Also, the company related to that purported score was prosecuted by the New York Attorney General’s office and settled at a cost of $3.4 million. While Blackburn has come out strong against the idea that any new action is necessary to improve the consumer ticketing experience (beyond enforcing the existing BOTS Act), other lawmakers are pushing for a hard look at Ticketmaster and Live Nation as potentially monopolistic and in need of structural remedy to improve the competition landscape. More than Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Mike Lee (R-UT) have announced plans for a senate hearing to be held on competition in the ticketing industry in front of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights. Senator Blumenthal and fellow Democrat Edward Markey of Massachusetts also joined Senator Klobuchar in calling on the Department of Justice to investigate Live Nation/Ticketmaster with an eye for anti-competitive behavior. “If the investigation reveals that Live Nation has continued to abuse its dominant market position notwithstanding two prior consent decrees, we urge the Department to consider unwinding the Ticketmaster-Live Nation merger and breaking up the company,” the senators wrote . “This may be the only way to truly protect consumers, artists, and venue operators and to restore competition in the ticketing market.” The full letter from Senators Blackburn and Blumenthal regarding the BOTS Act is available here .

Morgan Wallen announced plans to return to the road in 2023, bringing the “One Night at a Time” World Tour to 39 cities beginning in March. The tour will feature Wallen with special guests including Hardy, Parker McCollum, Ernest, and Bailey Zimmerman. “2023 is gonna be a special year,” Wallen said on social media as part of the tour announcement on Thursday morning. “I got a lot in store for y’all and thought we’d start with this…” One Night At A Time World Tour – Verified Fan Presale 12/7 2023 is gonna be a special year… I got a lot in store for y’all and thought we’d start with this… pic.twitter.com/zDEBd1vnro — morgan wallen (@MorganWallen) December 1, 2022 Tickets for Morgan Wallen’s tour dates are on sale beginning next week, available to the general public on Friday, December 9. Fans can also register for a presale through Ticketmaster’s controversial “verified fan” program, which will open on Wednesday, December 7. Verified Fan requires users to register their interest in presale tickets with Ticketmaster and parent company Live Nation, which is used to fuel the companies dynamic ticket systems for surge pricing purposes . It is the same system that was required for fans in the debacle that was the Taylor Swift Eras Tour sales process , which continues to draw scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators while business apparently continues as usual for the globe’s largest promoter and its ticketing agency. Wallen only recently wrapped his “dangerous” tour in October, having spanned eight months of 2022 for the country star . The One Night at a Time tour is just as ambitious, covering performance dates from March all the way through to early October. One Night at a Time tour dates will begin with Morgan Wallen playing four shows in New Zealand and Australia in March, bringing the tour to North American beginning with a stop at American Family Field in Milwaukee on April 15. From there, stops include Van Andel Arena (Grand Rapids, MI), Metlife Stadium (East Rutherford, NJ), Moody Center (Austin, TX), Citizens Bank Park (Philadelphia, PA), Fenway Park (Boston, MA), Budweiser Stage (Toronto, ON), Bell Centre (Montreal, QC), and Rogers Arena (Vancouver, B.C.) before it wraps on October 7 at Tacoma Dome in Washington.

Some fans have already begun questioning the event policy regarding firearms. A campaign by right-wing gun rights activists caused Live Nation to call off the Music Midtown Festival in Atlanta in August . That campaign was mounted in support of the so-called “guns everywhere” law in Georgia, which requires guns to be allowed in most public spaces in the state, potentially over-ruling anti-firearms policies put in place by organizers like Live Nation. No specific firearms policy is mentioned among the terms and conditions or event FAQs on the event website.

An analyst from Citi upgraded Live Nation’s stock (NYSE: LYV) forecast to “buy” Monday, but with it came qualifications that the company would take a huge hit if it were forced to split with Ticketmaster, as some are hoping will be done. Jason Bazinet lowered his price target for the stock to $82, but expressed confidence that the rumblings of politicians calling for the split wouldn’t actually bring meaningful action. From SeekingAlpha.com : “If the DoJ seeks to unwind the merger – and is successful – we believe: standalone Live Nation would fetch 13.5x EV-EBITDA; standalone Ticketmaster would fetch 8.0x EV-EBITDA; and the firm would incur $100 million of dis-synergies,” Bazinet wrote in a note to clients. However, Bazinet added that he believes there is only a 20% likelihood that there is a break-up of the firm. Live Nation Entertainment closed at $70.21 per share on Tuesday, up slightly from Monday’s opening price of $68.55. Those numbers are far off the company’s 52-week high of $126.79, as market headwinds and controversies have dragged the share price down despite soaring earnings built largely off the increased usage of dynamic “surge” ticket pricing schemes that inflate the consumer cost to attend events at moments of peak demand, which Ticketmaster systems like “Verified Fan” generate and exploit. The price suffered a precipitous drop during the Taylor Swift Eras Tour sale process, falling from the mid-$70’s range to about $10 less, though it has slowly recovered about half of that loss in the ensuing week. In his analysis, Bazinet said that he believes Live Nation to be valued at approximately $90/share, but a forced split would drop that to around $48/share. LYV has traded at above $50 for most of the previous five years, having dropped dramatically to a little more than $30/share in the immediate aftermath of the sudden halt on live events brought on by COVID-19 in March of 2020, but recovering to above $50 by the fall of that year and rising to all-time highs in late 2021 as reopening accelerated. Indeed, the main thing that has reduced Live Nation’s stock price of late has been controversy and the specter of regulatory action taken against it. The all-time highs from the fall of 2021 were briefly brought down in the wake of the Astroworld tragedy, which caused intense media scrutiny on the promotional giant’s safety record through the years. There actually had been plans for a congressional hearing over that, but the initial date was postponed at the request of Live Nation , and simply never got rescheduled. The more recent fiasco has drawn even more heat, with more than 30 members of congress signing on to a letter demanding action from the Department of Justice – which the New York Times reported already has an open competition investigation on the companies – and an announcement from Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Mike Lee (R-UT) that the Senate Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights would hold hearings on Ticketmaster and Live Nation and competition in the industry . Despite that, bankers apparently are still confident that Rapino’s company will emerge intact from the fiasco, continuing its streak of receiving minimal penalties when found to be in violation of its consent decree or other legal matters. It is perhaps worth noting that Citi itself has a multi-faceted relationship with both Live Nation Entertainment and Ticketmaster, with thousands of presale tickets held back at major events for Citi cardholders – a partnership that dates back to at least 2008 .
