Nope.

No different from Eras tour. Why do we allow them to have a monopoly? Should be an antitrust case.

Nope.

I hope everyone who bought tickets to scalp not only can’t sell them for more than face value, but also lose everything they paid in service fees and taxes.
That ticket presale was an absolute bloodbath. I’ve never seen anything so poorly managed and communicated.

No, the tickets are non-transferable. Typically if you sell on stubhub/tikpik
you later transfer the tickets to the purchasers email address. That is not possible with these tickets. The people that have them on StubHub did not read the fine print when they bought the tickets.

“Tickets will be non-transferable and can only be resold at face value on Ticketmaster,” The website reads. “In New York, Colorado, Illinois, and Utah, state laws don’t let artists fully control resale so tickets can be transferred. But even there, prices will remain at face value. Nothing is perfect, but we’re doing what we can to help protect against scalpers, and keep tickets in fans’ hands.”

Also wondering about this. There are already tickets on stubhub. How will that work?

They will be effed! When I bought the tickets on Ticketmaster, it was very clear that you could only resell them for what you bought them for through Ticketmaster.

We already bought face value resale on Ticketmaster. Got shut out of presale. I don’t really understand it though.

So I read that the tickets can only be resold at face value through ticketmaster. Does this mean there will not be any in stub hub?
