Spurs revoke season-ticket privileges over Finals seat resales

The San Antonio Spurs are revoking the season-ticket memberships of fans who list Finals tickets on unauthorized resale sites, a move the team confirmed as part of a broader push to ensure authentic tickets. Email notices say memberships and related privileges are revoked immediately and any deposits for next season will be refunded, with a reminder to buy only from verified marketplaces. The crackdown unfolds as Finals ticket prices surge—Game 1 seats listed around $959 at nosebleed level—sparking mixed reactions about affordability ahead of the Spurs’ first Finals in 12 years against the Knicks.

World Cup resale prices dip, with USA-Paraguay opener among the bargains

Resale prices for the 2026 World Cup in the U.S. have fallen across most matches as kickoff nears, with the U.S. opener vs. Paraguay showing notable bargains on resale sites (Category 1 about $1,323 vs FIFA’s primary $2,735). Across 52 group-stage games, 25 now have at least one resale price below FIFA’s prices, and several matches feature savings above $100. Despite declines, resale prices generally remain higher than primary-market prices for all knockout matches and for many high-demand group games; Mexico’s market is constrained by local law, and FIFA has been releasing inventory in batches while seeking to spur sales.

Empire State Moves to Cap Concert Ticket Resales

New York state Senator James Skoufis plans amendments to cap resale prices at the original ticket price (including fees and taxes), set fee limits, and outlaw speculative ticketing, with enforcement details still undetermined. The move mirrors California’s recent actions and signals potential upheaval for the live‑music industry, pitting fans’ access against market dynamics and major players like Live Nation/Ticketmaster who are watching for guardrails if the bill passes.

California Moves to Limit Resale Ticket Markups to 10%

California Assemblyman Matt Haney introduced AB 1720, the California Fans First Act, to cap resale concert tickets at no more than 10% over face value (excluding sports), aiming to curb bots and brokers and keep tickets affordable; the bill is backed by NIVA CA and Music Artists Coalition and would complement AB 1349 addressing speculative ticketing and deceptive resale sites. Maine has already enacted a similar cap, and other states are pursuing similar measures, signaling a broader push to reform the resale market.

The company denies these allegations and states it is doing more than anyone to ensure tickets go to genuine fans, but industry groups criticize these efforts as insufficient and accuse Ticketmaster of collusion with scalpers. The situation remains under scrutiny as more developments are expected.

The Cure cancels thousands of scalped tickets for upcoming tour.

The Cure's Robert Smith has cancelled 7,000 tickets found on secondary resale websites for their upcoming North American tour in a bid to tackle touts. Smith opted out of Ticketmaster's "platinum" and "dynamically priced" ticket options, and restricted ticket transfers in markets where he was legally allowed to do so. He also warned ticket buyers from attempting to circumvent ticket transfer rules and said that any tickets obtained in this way will be cancelled, and original fees paid on those tickets will not be refunded.

Taylor Swift's Las Vegas Shows: Ticket Warnings and Costs

Tickets being sold on StubHub for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concerts at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas advertised as "unrestricted view" are actually obstructed seats behind the stage, with the band and Swift hidden from view. The tickets are being sold for a small fortune, but StubHub's FanProtect Guarantee promises to find an equivalent or better ticket or provide a full refund to buyers if any issue occurs. Other ticket resellers, such as VividSeats and Seat Geek, do not have any tickets that would appear to be behind the stage at Allegiant Stadium for either Friday or Saturday night.
