Internal emails reveal Ticketmaster helped scalpers jack up prices, FTC says

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-20 14:47:14

The Federal Trade Commission sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster on Thursday, alleging that the companies tacitly worked with scalpers to profit from jacking up ticket prices on the secondary market. As the FTC alleged in a press release, Ticketmaster's years of turning a blind eye to scalpers violated the FTC Act and the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, costing customers "billions in inflated prices and additional fees."

FTC Sues Ticketmaster Over ‘Deceptive’ Ticket Pricing Tactics

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-09-22 14:26:17

The FTC and seven states have sued Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation for allegedly “deceptive” ticket resale tactics, according to a press release Thursday. The federal regulatory agency says that Ticketmaster is “tacitly coordinating with brokers,” allowing them to buy millions of dollars worth of tickets, just to resell them at a higher cost to the person who actually wants to attend a given concert. The FTC says Ticketmaster is also aware of ticket brokers regularly bypassing s

The FTC sues Ticketmaster for allegedly colluding with resellers

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-22 18:13:37

The FTC and seven states sued Ticketmaster owner Live Nation on Wednesday. The lawsuit accused the company of knowingly allowing brokers to buy tickets in bulk. Ticketmaster allegedly then let them resell the tickets at a significant markup on its own second-hand market. The FTC claims Ticketmaster was aware that resellers routinely bypassed its security measures for these purchases. The company profits three times from resales. It collects fees at the initial purchase, followed by both buyer a

The FTC is suing Ticketmaster for illegally ‘coordinating’ with brokers

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-23 02:37:40

The latest targets in the White House’s on-again-off-again antitrust war are Ticketmaster and Live Nation, two villains that everyone appears to agree on. The Federal Trade Commission is accusing Ticketmaster (which owns Live Nation) of allowing ticket brokers to illegally exceed limits on purchases and then profiting off the inflated resale value. Customers often pay significantly more than the face value because resellers have snatched up all the tickets. And when a ticket is resold through Ti

The Best Gifts for Newlyweds They’ll Actually Use (2025)

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-10-02 14:09:00

We can’t talk about coffee grinders without touching on coffee makers too. I’ve had rotten luck in this arena, truth be told. I was hoping that the coffee maker I was gifted at my wedding would last a whopping 20 years, like my parents’ did, but it barely made it past my second anniversary. Upon polling friends and family and consulting WIRED tester Matthew Korfhage, the Moccamaster KBGV Select was consistently mentioned as a top pick. And Matthew deems it the best “buy it for life” option. Whi

Tesla Wants Out of the Car Business

news.ycombinator.com Patrick George 2025-10-12 02:20:06

Elon Musk still makes some of America’s best electric cars. Earlier this summer, I rented a brand-new, updated Tesla Model Y, the first refresh to the electric SUV since it debuted, in 2020. Compared with even just two years ago, when the Model Y became the world’s best-selling car, many companies make great EVs now. Some of them have the Model Y beat in certain areas, but for the price, the Tesla is still the total package. Now, imagine how good Teslas could be if Musk apparently wasn’t so bor

Valerion launches new premium projector with anti-rainbow effect technology

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-14 06:00:58

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Valerion is formally announcing its new premium projector, the VisionMaster Max, at IFA 2025. The boxy little projector offers improved contrast and brightness, but the feature that should be most interesting to home theater aficionados is how it tries to address the "rainbow effect" common in some cheaper projectors. Cheaper DLP projectors sometimes display stuttery strobes of color when the projector's color wheel is forced to quickly shift between col

Tesla Just Published a New "Master Plan" and Um, How Do We Say This

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-17 13:21:18

Elon Musk's Tesla has revealed its new "master plan" — and it's so chock-full of meaningless corporate buzzwords, we can't help but suspect that it was generated by an AI chatbot. The so-called "Master Plan Part IV" follows up on Musk's preceding "master plan" installment, which underwhelmed investors back in early 2023 with a vague promise to greatly streamline manufacturing, the consequent release of a cheaper EV, and in-house lithium refinement for batteries.

Tesla has published its fourth “Master Plan,” and at a high level it is about how the company wants to lead the charge into planet-wide adoption of humanoid robots and sustainable energy. But the post lacks an important building block of plans: specifics. Even CEO Elon Musk agrees.
