Ticketmaster Caps Olivia Dean Resale Ticket Prices and Refunds Fans
Ticketmaster has taken steps to address criticism over the resale prices of Olivia Dean's tour tickets. The company has capped the resale prices and will refund fans who bought marked-up tickets.
According to Rolling Stone [4], Ticketmaster's decision comes after Olivia Dean publicly called out the company for allowing tickets to be resold at exorbitant prices. Dean stated that the prices were 'vile and completely against our wishes,' and that live music should be affordable and accessible.
In response to the criticism, Live Nation's CEO stated, 'We echo Olivia's call to 'Do Better' and have taken steps to lead by example.' The company has implemented a resale price cap and will refund fans who purchased marked-up tickets.
This move by Ticketmaster is a step towards addressing the issue of ticket price gouging in the music industry. Fans have long complained about the high prices of concert tickets, and this decision may set a precedent for other companies to follow.
The incident highlights the need for greater transparency and regulation in the ticketing industry. Fans deserve fair prices for concert tickets, and companies like Ticketmaster have a responsibility to ensure that prices are reasonable and accessible.
Ticketmaster's decision to cap resale prices and refund fans is a positive step towards addressing the issue of ticket price gouging. However, more needs to be done to ensure that fans have access to affordable concert tickets.
