📽️ Anyone who has tried to buy a ticket for a popular concert knows the frustration of losing out, only then to see the same tickets at 10 times the price elsewhere. Fans are priced out of events, yet the Government keeps rejecting reforms that will stop ticket touting. 🧵 (1/)
Viagogo loses 6-year battle against Commerce Commission rnz.co.nz/news/business/…
Would love to know if @kevinhollinrake was buying or selling tickets. And why he was using viagogo in the first place? Maybe it was the Trustpilot reviews... uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.via…

Viagogo loses 6-year battle against Commerce Commission Remember the first Google result (or sponsored result) might not be an official ticket seller. If you do land on a resale or "scalping" site, take extra care that tickets are genuine - and be wary of "selling out" claims…
You have to tip your hat to viagogo. Having realised their "business model" doesn't stand up to scrutiny, they simply pay the likes of @Refinery29UK to post these ludicrous videos. Proper journalism needs supporting, but this is pretty desperate all round.

🎟️ Ticket touts are utterly shameful, robbing genuine fans of experiences that will last a lifetime. 📝 My friend @SharonHodgsonMP has be campaigning on this for years and its time the Government stopped playing silly games, and worked with us to shut down the touts for good.
The government is about to vote yet again against sensible measures to tackle pernicious and parasitical ticket touting. They’re offering a nine month review instead. If the Conservative Government won’t act, Labour will.
Brilliant, @lucyfrazermp just walked through the division lobby with Labour to support action on ticket touts against her whip. #SurelySomeMistake

Adding to this thread: capped fan-to-fan ticket resale has long been standard practice outside North America. Pioneered by the likes of Twickets and Resident Advisor. In the UK, Ticketmaster closed their "uncapped" resale business in 2018.

Have done two hours of back to back BBC radio interviews this morning on the return of Our Price, why physical music matters, and why anything encouraging people to spend money on actual music is a very, very good idea right now.

Just noticed a “reduced price ticket” option for the Fontaines D.C. Manchester gigs! Nice touch 👌🏻
Excellent article on the difficulties of musicians touring in the UK. Go and watch them, buy a tee, buy a record, tell them they’re fucking class.
I dug into the budget sheets to have a look at the realities of modern day touring costs for a bunch of artists. Such is the struggle for many established acts to tour profitably, it’s been declared a cost of touring crisis. theguardian.com/music/2024/apr…
For how many years have we all been told to make up what we can no longer earn from recordings by playing live… read this article theguardian.com/music/2024/apr…
“The only way this tour is working for us is because we just put out our second album and we did about 60 presales on the vinyl and that was basically enough to pay for the van. It’s a hobby that just about pays for itself.” Ignore the stadium acts and live music is in a crisis
One of the takeaways from this article: changes in gross revenues for any one revenue stream don't tell you how individual participants in that revenue stream are faring. To find out what's really happening, researchers have to talk to musicians directly. theguardian.com/music/2024/apr…
