You can clearly see the Olympics bump for Atlanta in the July 1996 jobs report — something to keep in mind as we await numbers at 8:30am:

[Scott Friedman 🎟️ @ScottFriedman3]

.@warriors season ticket sales are flying right now.

@LeBronJames is not confirmed yet to play there…👀

[Will @gawillstewart]

@florianederer Will the federation release a lot more seats for the quarters, semi, and finals too? Or has all that already happened?

[Steve Matthews @SteveMatthews12]

When is a state attorney general going to investigate Stubhub for massive fraud? Or DoJ?

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

104 World Cup matches, say 70,000 people/match, 7.3 million total tickets.

Let’s say Europeans got 40% of all tickets, that’s 2.9M European ticket holders.

The European Union + England has a population of ~500M.

Not hard to see how the numbers work for PTO/wealth of visitors.

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

$KBH +13%

@Ticket_Help2022 @StubHub Yes on 3. If there are any refunds, they should be punitive—say 5 times the value of the original purchase or some amount high enough to make it not an attractive option.

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

@TheStalwart This is like finding lost digital sea scrolls.

[Will @gawillstewart]

@TicketsData Rare situation where I would be willing to say the market is wrong. This company is destroying itself. What legit seller wants to keep using them? And why would any buyer ever purchase a ticket there? There are many options. Their entire model is predicated on google ad spend.

[Scott Friedman 🎟️ @ScottFriedman3]

🚨The lack of awareness from @StubHub leader, Eric Baker is mind blowing.

Many fans are using this site for a bucket list moment. An event that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

They have placed their confidence and hard earned money in the hands of Stubhub and their fan protect guarantee. Any fan that gets left outside the gates is completely unacceptable.

I urge anyone with Stubhub to please do the right thing. Go through any unfilled orders on your site now and give sellers 12 hours to fill or take matters into your own hands and provide the tickets.

Clean up any fines or bad actors at a later date. The most important thing is that every fan who bought a ticket get inside! This isn’t rocket science.

I also urge the board of Stubhub to take a real hard look at tone deaf CEO Eric Baker. It’s time to call a special vote at the minimum and place him on leave pending an investigation into the daily practices at Stubhub.

The average forward P/E for $META, $AMZN, $GOOGL, and $MSFT is near multi-year lows.

The group has de-rated since the launch of ChatGPT.

[Scott Friedman 🎟️ @ScottFriedman3]

To give you an idea just how big this @FIFAWorldCup is ticket wise….

In the history of the @dallascowboys who are the biggest brand in pro sports they have never had a game anywhere near 2k to get inside.

They have Never had a game $1000 to get inside @ATTStadium ‼️

30 minutes to start on a Monday afternoon at noon and if you can get out the Queue on FIFA it’s 2k plus to get in the door to see Argentina v Austria.

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

The draw for normie Americans is it’s a really cool international team sports competition — it’s the same dynamic that led the World Baseball Classic to surge in popularity. There’s room for growth for soccer in America but the driver here is the international competition.

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

Downtown has the infrastructure to do big sports events incredibly well, but it doesn’t yet have the resident or employment base to be a good day in and day out place. Hopefully Centennial Yards and South Downtown catalyze that.

[Will @gawillstewart]

@conorsen @NateSilver538 I think the next one is going to begin to do this. Don’t quote me on it but I think some of the matches are in South America, before the KOs move to Spain.

[Scott Friedman 🎟️ @ScottFriedman3]

I have been working with C-Suite executive @ajwaxman to fix many @FIFAWorldCup 🎟️ issues.

The entire secondary 🎟️ market does not need a black eye because of the scums of the earth @StubHub my friends‼️

Buy on @SeatGeek ‼️ (No they do not sponsor @TicketTalkNet)

[Scott Friedman 🎟️ @ScottFriedman3]

🚨The USA game @LevisStadium on July 1 has hung in the $700/900 🎟️ range for 7 months….

If you bought this game from @StubHub for $700-1000 each and have yet to receive your tickets, I would be starting to ask questions…🧐

@FIFAWorldCup

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

@TheStalwart Definitely the best vibes in Atlanta right now since Covid.

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

@TheStalwart Two days before the World Cup started it felt like there wasn’t much buzz. Over the past week it’s felt like the only topic. And it’s still a month until the final!

[Steve Matthews @SteveMatthews12]

@StubHub has a real disaster on its hands from the World Cup tickets mess. They need to take their medicine, get everyone equivalent tickets—sections and rows—ban the sellers who promised tickets and didn’t deliver, and rethink how they are going to avoid this mess in the future.
