Nor'easter and Macklemore Fallout Force Final Cancellation of Ed Sheeran's Gillette Stadium Shows

Ed Sheeran's weekend concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, have been officially canceled due to severe weather warnings. The decision follows a week of controversy after rapper Macklemore was removed from the tour for pro-Palestinian remarks, leading other opening acts to quit in solidarity. While the storm is the immediate cause, the cancellation compounds ongoing disputes over ticket refunds and lineup changes, with the Massachusetts Attorney General intervening to ensure consumers can recover their money.

Nor'easter and political fallout force cancellation of Ed Sheeran's Gillette Stadium concerts

Ed Sheeran's two scheduled concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, were canceled due to severe weather warnings from a nor'easter. The cancellation follows a week of controversy after rapper Macklemore was removed from the tour for pro-Palestinian remarks, leading other opening acts to quit in solidarity. Ticket holders can request refunds through Ticketmaster, a policy change prompted by the Massachusetts Attorney General after receiving over 170 consumer complaints. The shows were originally rescheduled to start at 8 p.m. to accommodate the absence of opening acts, but the storm forced the final cancellation.

U.S. Open Ticket Boom Draws Scrutiny Over Resale Fees and Accessibility

Rising U.S. Open ticket prices, driven by a legal resale market and hefty Ticketmaster fees, have made entry unaffordable for many fans even as the USTA benefits from both primary and resale revenue; despite caps on per-session sales, bots and demand keep prices high. The piece argues the USTA could tighten controls or cap purchases to push more tickets to real fans and protect the event’s nonprofit mission, with changes eyed for 2027.

Trump discussed Live Nation with its CEO before antitrust settlement, court filing shows

A court filing reveals that President Trump spoke directly with Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino in February about the DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, though no substantive settlement terms were discussed. White House lawyers were involved in ongoing talks, and the federal settlement included a cap on certain service fees and new ticketing options for promoters and venues, following a jury verdict that found monopolistic practices.

Spurs Enforce 150-Mile Radius for Finals Tickets to Limit Knicks Road Presence

The Spurs are restricting Game 5 ticket sales to customers within a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center (based on billing address), with a four-seat limit and cancellations for orders outside the radius. The restriction is imposed via Ticketmaster, not other marketplaces, and tickets can be transferred or resold later. Tickets already purchased won't be revoked, and Knicks fans are expected to travel to San Antonio as New York leads the series 3-1.

NY Officials Criticize Ticketmaster and Spurs Over Knicks Finals Ticket Ban for Out-of-Towners

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James condemned Ticketmaster and the San Antonio Spurs for blocking out-of-area Knicks fans from buying tickets to Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Ticketmaster says the 150-mile radius rule applies only to new orders, with existing tickets unaffected, while Spurs say the policy prioritizes local fans; Madison Square Garden says Knicks tickets aren’t revoked. The controversy mirrors earlier location-based sales rules, but comes as the Knicks lead the series 3-1 and high-profile attendees are in the arena.

States Seek Breakup of Live Nation and Ticketmaster After Monopoly Verdict

Following a jury ruling that Live Nation illegally monopolized the live-music market, a coalition of states asks a federal judge to impose structural remedies, including divesting Ticketmaster and selling large venues, to restore competition. They also seek future-merger restrictions and damages, while Live Nation opposes a breakup and says changes previously agreed with the DOJ should suffice.
