New music from an unexpected source, a problem with tickets to a Black Keys show, and technology bringing us a mobile karaoke feature and the return of high-fidelity to streaming services were some…
Several hundred fans who bought tickets from StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats were turned away at the band’s request. Ticketmaster and Live Nation, the concert organizers, claimed “bad actors” sold invalid tickets.
“The presenters of the concert directed that these tickets be made available only to fans and that they be strictly non-transferable,” Ticketmaster said in a statement. “This was messaged from the beginning with the announcement of the performance and throughout the sales process. Unfortunately, bad actors took advantage of this situation and posted screen shots of tickets that were not valid for entry onto the secondary market. We always recommend purchasing tickets from the official source.
The Black Keys themselves said they made the call to turn people away. “Last night’s concert tickets were $25 and geared toward the fan club,” said a band email. “This was our first show in over four years and the kickoff of the Let’s Rock Tour. Because we were playing a venue far smaller than the rest of the venues on the tour as a warmup show, we turned off ticket transferability to ensure that our fans got in the door at the low ticket prices we set for them.
