California Resale Ticket Cap Fails to Clear Senate Panel

A California bill (AB 1720) to cap concert ticket resale prices—initially up to 10% above face value and later narrowed to venues with 3,000 seats or fewer—failed to advance out of the Senate appropriations committee after extensive lobbying by ticket platforms (StubHub spent about $3.4 million in California this year). Support came from indie venues and artists who say caps would curb predatory scalping, but opponents argued the measure would reduce fan access; similar resale caps have passed in Maine, Vermont, and D.C., while Massachusetts is considering one.

Mick Jagger: My Show Is About Fun, Not Lecturing Fans

Mick Jagger, 82, says his job at live shows is to give fans the best time for a couple of hours and help them forget their problems, not lecture them. He notes he sometimes includes political verses in songs, but emphasizes entertainment as the main goal. The piece also recalls a 2024 moment at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival where he called out Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, who later mocked him on social media.
