gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-09-19 21:26:17

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 2025-09-20 01:13:37

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

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

Eric Baker’s long, winding road to taking StubHub public

techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-09-21 17:33:46

Ticket reseller StubHub went public on Wednesday. Although StubHub’s shares closed 6% below their IPO price of $23.50, valuing the company at over $7 billion, the public debut itself is a testament to the co-founder’s decades-long perseverance. StubHub CEO Eric Baker co-founded the company with Jeff Fluhr in 2000 while they were attending the Stanford Graduate School of Business. This was shortly after the dotcom bubble burst and NASDAQ crashed, but the pair didn’t give up. “Stupid competitors

StubHub CEO says recent change to all-in ticket prices will dent revenue

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-09-23 01:51:50

StubHub CEO Eric Baker said Wednesday that recently introduced federal regulations around transparent ticket pricing will cause a "one-time" hit to its financial results. Revenue is expected to dip year over year as consumers digest the new rules, Baker told CNBC, which require online ticket sellers to prominently show the total cost upfront. "We've seen this in states like New York that have done it. You have a drop off and it hits about 10%. ... Then it's just back to normal," Baker said in

How to Use Claude Code Subagents to Parallelize Development

In my last post I talked about how I spent a week heads down using AI to work on a greenfield engineering metrics tool. As I built it, I’d often navigate the web app and spot things that needed to be fleshed out. Sometimes it was a small typo; other times it was a bigger feature that was still TODO. At one point I had Claude Code redesign the homepage to make it more lively. In doing so, it added some new functionality that didn’t fully exist yet: A “View All Insights” link that would show you

Delta Announces New System Where AI Makes Up the Price for Your Ticket on the Spot

In the latest sign frivolous and irritating use of AI, US airline Delta is looking to harness the tech to set prices for each individual customer, instead of just listing what they actually cost. As Fortune reports, the airline is looking to push the boundaries of how much passengers are willing to shell out for a plane ticket. By the end of this year, Delta hopes to price 20 percent of its tickets individually, using AI. The practice has already drawn plenty of scrutiny from lawmakers and pri

Delta Air Lines is leaning into dynamic ticket pricing that uses artificial intelligence to individually determine the highest fee you’d willingly pay for flights, according to comments Fortune spotted in the company’s latest earnings call. Following a limited test of the technology last year, Delta is planning to shift away from static ticket prices entirely after seeing “amazingly favorable” results. “We will have a price that’s available on that flight, on that time, to you, the individual,”

‘The Odyssey’ Sold Tickets a Year in Advance and Things Got Crazy

The Odyssey tells the story of one man’s long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the journey to Christopher Nolan’s adaptation won’t be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites. Surely, no one would sell tickets for a movie a year in advance, right? Only that’s exactly what happened. And it

Want to be Seated for ‘The Odyssey?’ Some Showtimes Are Out Over a Year in Advance

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opens in theaters one year from this Thursday—on July 17, 2026—and something big might be coming to celebrate. Showtimes (just showtimes, not a way to actually buy tickets) for select IMAX 70mm screenings of the film have begun to show up on ticketing websites, which is odd because a) It’s over a year in advance, b) Nolan is still making the movie, which means c) there isn’t a locked-in runtime yet.
