Taylor Swift ticket sales crash the Ticketmaster website.
T-Swift’s world-tour rush crashed Ticketmaster, highlighting the reach of Live Nation’s concert empire
Alexa, play “Bad Blood”… Taylor Swift fans have major beef with Ticketmaster. On Tuesday, the Live Nation-owned ticket platform suffered outages after millions of Swifties tried buying tickets to Taylor’s 2023 “Eras” tour, her first in five years. Presale tix were going for $49 to $500 on Ticketmaster, but resellers quickly began listing seats for as much as $21K+ on third-party sites like StubHub. Some police stations warned fans about a surge in ticket scammers.

Fans said they were forced to wait hours for site access — and many still couldn’t complete their transactions, despite having a presale code.
Ticketmaster said the problems were a result of “historically unprecedented demand,” and it extended the presale event for an extra day.
FYI: Swift’s “Midnights” became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single-day when it dropped last month.
Pop-star performances… at Super Bowl prices. The live-music industry has had a show-stopping comeback since the pandemic hit. Last quarter, Live Nation’s revenue climbed 63% from 2019, and it’s on pace to notch record ticket sales this year. But as more Americans splurge on experiences over objects, concert prices have surged nearly 15% from prepandemic. It’s good news for Ticketmaster, which is said to make up 70%+ of ticketing services for major venues like Madison Square Garden.
THE TAKEAWAY
It’s hard to be a hater of the top player… Music fans may be mad at Live Nation, but its live-music dominance makes it hard to escape. In January, Live Nation was accused of snubbing venues that didn’t use Ticketmaster. Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that Ticketmaster was a “monopoly” after the Swift drama. But the backlash hasn’t curbed demand: Ticketmaster sales for 2023 shows are already on track to surpass this year’s.

I have observed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate purchase, a fee is paid. Eventually, FSBO sellers do not “save” the commission payment. Rather, they fight to earn the commission by simply doing a agent’s occupation. In completing this task, they spend their money in addition to time to complete, as best they are able to, the assignments of an representative. Those tasks include uncovering the home via marketing, representing the home to buyers, developing a sense of buyer emergency in order to make prompt an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, handling qualification check ups with the financial institution, supervising maintenance, and assisting the closing.
