exposing the soft spots in speculative ticketing

@JeffRabhan @PopCrave loving your new book

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@concertleaks i mean that all sounds good but why not do artist specific negotiations so your smaller artists on UMG can still experience viralty

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

Great read. There is no better pricing tool than the free market. Secondaries drive price discovery in real-time. When promoters/artists prevent resale, not only do they risk weakened demand, they know very little about optimal pricing.

[Brad Brickell @bradbrick]

Primaries and promoters are going to see a major change in fan behavior, as they foolishly think they can scalp all #tickets in the building at prices only a small percentage of fans are willing to pay.

Here are the changes I expect:

night 1 and night 2 for #travisscott in NC for the tour that starts in 2 weeks. Sneakerheads in shambles #notlit

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@CoffeeMeoww yep, and facility fee going up by $1 in all those rooms. Rob Peter to pay Paul.

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@scottobias its lit

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@concertleaks waitlist opening is an indicator of aggressively priced platinum imo. need to get more buyers to the table to unload the inventory. resellers are not biting on top tier. could mean more about the economy than @oliviarodrigo

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@Ticket_Help2022 @GeorgeStrait word on the street is that they planned to add +1s at some of these stadiums. A little ambitious at this point

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@gundrymd_ twitter user begs: "stop putting this in my feed"

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@Ticket_Help2022 @Ticketmaster At this point, lets the resellers front the risk and hold the bags. As you know, #itpaystowait

@TheFestiveOwl @BlueRidgeRock It is becoming increasingly difficult to determine what is a fraud/griff and what is a seemingly well-intentioned festival in a uncontrollable scenario.

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@garrettnolan Almost has gaslighty as ticketmaster/live nation proposing the "Boss & Swift" act. None of this is for the consumer, its for corporations to build moats.

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@mjguff @RichReising could also be..
1. promoter price research. Put up some inventory at various levels to determine demand at various price levels so they can price platinum appropriately.

2. reseller checking demand to see how much $$ they want to put to work

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

$27 get-in price for @TTChilders tonight in philly. Pays to wait.

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

@TicketmasterUSD only the folks who wait til day of show to buy

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

now share the excel that shows what your fee is, next to what each promoter/venue lost that night. @jeffrosenstock

[Jeff Rosenstock @jeffrosenstock]

Felt appropriate to post this on Labor Day. Here are the merch cuts being taken by the venues on this upcoming tour. This is going to cause us to sell our merch for higher prices than we'd like to at certain venues. We think that sucks. 1/

bad agenting to put the promising @IanMunsick in front of no one.

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

It looks like @ticketmaster has turned off the uppers for the ohio @drake show. This was a 2nd show added. Friday they were all blue. Lets see what 3rd party site these land on. Pricing matters. Turns out $400 is too high for lower bowl tickets...

[Live Flation @ColdDarnVampire]

This show was at 4,500 sold out of 20,000 when you pulled it. The fact is you priced out the resellers who were bag holding your inventory in oklahoma and texas. @ticketmaster is not perfect, but the pricing was your choice. @tptroubadours @Ticket_Help2022 @UnderFaceValue
