These concerts will mark the first time Sheeran has performed in Michigan in five years.

Pearl Jam Promises Fair and Transparent Ticket Pricing for Upcoming Tours

Pearl Jam has announced a short run of summer tour dates and is committing to "fairly priced tickets" and non-transferable tickets where permitted. The band will use all-in pricing across the tour for the first time, and tickets will be available via Ticketmaster's "Verified Fan" program. Pearl Jam famously opposed Ticketmaster in the past and has directed ticket buyers to a website for Fair Ticketing Reforms.

The Cure's Robert Smith disgusted by Ticketmaster's fees for North American tour.

The Cure's Robert Smith expressed his disgust at Ticketmaster's "Fees" debacle, which added hefty service fees to the cost of "Verified Fan" tickets for the band's upcoming "Lost World" North American tour. Smith had been tracking the various money-traps in ticketing, including the secondary-market practice of selling tickets that do not yet exist. The band decided to use Ticketmaster's "Verified Fan" system to combat scalping but refused to participate in the company's dynamic pricing and "Platinum" tickets. Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, has launched the "FAIR Ticketing Act" to combat exploitative prices on the secondary market.

Smith stated that the band has no way to limit the fees and that he has been asking how they are justified. The band's decision to use the "Verified Fan" system was an effort to combat scalping and get more face-value tickets in fans' hands. Ticketmaster has faced multiple lawsuits and investigations into their business practices, including an antitrust investigation into Live Nation Entertainment.
