Podcasts about Ticketmaster

There's been a verdict in the Live Nation/Ticketmaster antitrust case. So what happens now?Matt Ford sits down again with artist manager and industry operator Randy Nichols to unpack what the jury's monopoly verdict actually means, why the case is still far from over, and what a potential breakup of Live Nation and Ticketmaster could really look like.They also dig into another major fight unfolding in ticketing: speculative ticketing and the secondary market. Randy shares his firsthand experience testifying in California in support of legislation targeting speculative ticket sales and breaks down his concerns about StubHub, including speculative listings for major events like FIFA and the conflicts he sees within the secondary ticketing market.Episode Timestamps:(2:20) What Actually Swung the Live Nation JuryHow one explosive phrase became the emotional center of the case and shaped the jury's perception.(11:20) “Blue Dot Fever” and the Reality of Soft ToursAre arena tours actually struggling, or is the panic around unsold seats missing the bigger picture?(17:20) Ticket Prices Are Becoming a Barrier to FandomWhy increasingly expensive nights out could threaten the industry's ability to build the next generation of lifelong fans.(32:35) What the Live Nation Verdict Actually MeansWhat happens after a monopoly verdict, from potential remedies to years of legal challenges and appeals.(44:45) Would Breaking Up Live Nation Actually Lower Ticket Prices?Why a breakup may make for a compelling political win without necessarily making concerts cheaper.(55:30) Could Ticketmaster Be More Powerful on Its Own?The surprising argument that separating Ticketmaster from Live Nation could actually expand its reach.(1:08:00) The Fight Over Spec Ticketing and Resale Price CapsRandy shares why he testified in California and what proposed ticketing legislation could change.(1:15:20) StubHub, Spec Tickets, and the FIFA MessA look at speculative ticket listings, platform accountability, and Randy's own test listing a nonexistent FIFA ticket.(1:27:20) Why Spec Bans Could Matter More Than a Live Nation BreakupRandy makes the case that limiting scalper arbitrage could do more for ticket prices than breaking up Live Nation.(1:33:40) Dynamic Pricing and a Potential Grand BargainIf the industry eliminates industrial scalping, should primary ticketing platforms give up dynamic pricing too?Please share this with anyone that might be interested in the topics, links below to subscribe and stay in the loop with the podcast and Prism:Subscribe ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠More on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Prism⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@prismfm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow us on LinkedIn (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Meet the Podcast Host/CEO of Prism -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Matt Ford⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Opening Music -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Banana Bread - Layton.rx⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Prism engineer!)

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (8.11) The Conway show continues with all the latest SoCal stories. A new bill aims to fix wild ticket prices on sites like Ticketmaster. And a new study is out on how sports affects our minds. Tim says it’s too negative! And he swears gambling keeps people alive! Anecdotally speaking at least. Fast food drama – Dominos is introducing a rectangular individual style pizza to provide a cheaper option for customers. McDonald’s tries a similar strategy. Will this bring customers back to fast food? And Jackie the eagle’s death continues to resonate among Californians. Schoolchildren are paying tribute to Jackie with crafts and Tim begins to watch for a new eagle to take Jackie’s nest. Will Shadow find a new suitor? Rick Caruso has been hard at work in the Palisades reopening his Palisades Village with the help of the city – so he claims. Tim calls BS.

Tragically Hip Day in Toronto. 'The Luxury' out of the gate, a tour debut in the encore, and a family of four in seats a text message unlocked.DescriptionAugust 10th, 2016. The Air Canada Centre - the first of three Toronto nights on the Man Machine Poem Tour, and the day Ernie from Denville, New Jersey woke up in his hotel room, flipped on the news, and heard the mayor declare it Tragically Hip Day before he had even gotten out of bed. He had flown up alone for his first-ever Canadian show, eleven club nights deep. The city was already celebrating.Then the lights come up and it is 'The Luxury'. Ernie had waited eleven shows to hear it. Jeff from Vaughan, following this band since 1992, can count the times he has heard it live on one hand. Two songs later comes 'Fiddler's Green', and Scott from Huntsville is looking at grown men crying as far as he can see, understanding exactly how the night is going to go. Third song in. They could do whatever they wanted.The roads in are half the story. Everybody got the same email on the Tuesday morning after the May long weekend - the news of Gord Downie's diagnosis, and a tour nobody knew how to feel about. Scott locked down Kingston hotel rooms before tickets even went on sale, then sweated out the Ticketmaster scramble for four Toronto seats - the morning after watching John Mann and Spirit of the West play a fundraiser at the Horseshoe Tavern, two Canadian heartbreaks stacked onto one walk home. Jeff sent a hockey dad four paragraphs about his life following The Hip, hoping to bring his wife and two kids, and got the answer every fan dreams about: they're yours. Which is how, during 'Fifty-Mission Cap', with Bill Barilko's banner up in the rafters, Jeff came to be filming a verse and then swinging the camera around to catch both his kids singing it back.There is a lot of night in here. 'Nautical Disaster' landing in the first encore as a tour debut (confirmed via setlist.fm, and backed by the notebook Ernie filled out that same evening). The crowd carrying the Toronto line in 'Bobcaygeon', the way Scott remembers it. The “Phantom Power” pair that closed the building down. And then the back half of the conversation jumps ahead to August 20th - Scott behind the stage in Kingston, not breathing until the scanner turned his print-off ticket green, Jeff front row in front of Robby Baker for show number 93, and Ernie back in New Jersey with the Kingston broadcast on the big screen and his son beside him.Somewhere in the middle of it, Scott sums up the entire summer in one sentence: “I've never been so excited for something I didn't want to happen.” So there's that.The panelErnie from Denville, New Jersey - eleven Hip shows in clubs from New York City to Syracuse before this one, his first in Canada and his first in an arena, solo in section 313 and never once feeling alone. His daughter has since become one of The Hip's biggest listeners on Apple Music. He also made a horror movie, We Can't Leave, streaming on Amazon Prime (sequel already in the hopper).Scott from Huntsville - travels to Hip shows with his wife and his oldest concert buddy, and hit Toronto Nights 1 and 3 plus Kingston on the final tour, where his kids texted mid-show to check on him. He chairs the Huntsville Festival of the Arts, a year-round festival bringing Canadian acts to Muskoka - huntsvillefestivalofthearts.com.Jeff from Vaughan - following The Hip since 1992, with Kingston set to be show number 93. He did London, multiple Toronto nights, Hamilton, and Kingston on the final run in a custom “Live Between Us” shirt, and brought his wife and both kids to Toronto Night 1. David Bastedo photographed the four of them in their row and sent it to him after the show.Come say hiThe Gathering in Kingston, August 20th to 23rd - a mixer at the Merchant Pub, Choir! Choir! Choir! in Springer Market Square, a listening party for “The Tragically Hip Live, July 22 - August 20, 2016”, a Long Time Running screening, and a farewell brunch at Morrison's. Email jd@tthpods.com to get on the list.GEDfest Toronto - Saturday, October 17th at the Horseshoe Tavern with Grace, 2, raising money for Campfire Circle and the Murphy Family Fund in Precision Medicine in Pancreatic Cancer. Yes, the same room John Mann played the night before the on-sale. That building keeps showing up. Tickets: facebook.com/GEDfestYYZClosingThanks to Ernie, Scott, and Jeff for bringing August 10th back - the flag, the notebook, the kids checking in on their dads. The Tragically Hip play the same building two nights later. Toronto Night 2, August 12th, brand new panel.

Episode DescriptionTen years to the day, JD travels back to July 30, 2016 and the second of two Edmonton nights on the Man Machine Poem Tour. He's joined by two Edmontonians who were in the building — Kirsten and Chris — for a conversation about scalped tickets and Ticketmaster nightmares, the last concert ever held in Rexall Place, a set list that dug deeper than anyone expected, and the two encores that sent a city home in pieces.It's a night of firsts and lasts: 'Scared' heard live for the first time and the last time in the same breath, a room full of strangers crying through 'Courage,' and a final 'Bobcaygeon' with the whole barn lit up. Fair warning — the waterworks come up more than once.Around the TableJD — host, Your Hipster's Reflections from the Final TourKirsten (Edmonton) — roughly 20 Hip shows deep; attended both Edmonton nights and Calgary night one. First saw the band on the third Another Roadside Attraction tour.Chris (Edmonton) — about half a dozen shows, going back to an Up to Here–era gig at the old Edmonton Convention Centre. Brought his brother to night two.In This EpisodeThe Icebreaker: One Song That Puts You Back in the RoomKirsten picks "Scared" — she was up in the stands when the lights came down and the neon tubes took over. The song and the staging landed at exactly the right moment.Chris picks "Ahead by a Century," and explains why the line "disappointing news getting me down" hit like a freight train that night. He also names "Scared" as a shock — a deep cut he had never heard live and never expected to.A running theme starts here: how far into the catalogue the band was willing to reach on this tour.Hearing the News, and the Fight for TicketsKirsten on the diagnosis: devastating, and immediately followed by a desperate need to be in the room to honour the band.Her Ticketmaster ordeal — bounced three separate times — and a side story about how organizing an unplugged Headstones gig for a Pledge Music drive led to a friendship with Courtney, from the Hip's management side. Shout out to Courtney for the patience and the eventual tickets to Edmonton night one and Calgary night one.Chris rewinds much further: his first Hip show at the old Shaw/Edmonton Convention Centre, when his buddy won the last pair of tickets on the radio and took someone else. Chris went down anyway, watched people offer $200 for a $20 ticket, walked back toward the LRT station, and got face value from the fifteenth person he asked.The beer jug legend — paying a bouncer $20 to work the beer gardens, selling jugs at a markup, and Gord reaching down, taking a swig from Chris's jug, and hurling it into the crowd.The Fully Completely tour show he almost missed: hungover off a flight home from Mexico, picked up at the airport by his dad, who happened to have tickets. They caught it from about song four.For the final tour, a coworker — Kathy Thompson, ticket savant — tipped him off about the presale three days early. He landed what he calls the worst seats of his life and has never been happier about bad seats.Who They Went WithKirsten took her friend Natasha to night two, up in section 201; she had been on the floor for night one with her now-wife, who had never seen the Hip before.Seeing the tour from two different vantage points meant two different shows — and from the upper level she could suddenly see the teleprompters on stage.Chris invited both of the buddies from that very first show — one in Victoria, one living in France — and both had to bow out. His brother got the ticket, and the two of them have a lot of Hip history together.The Set ListOpens with "Blow at High Dough."Chris on the run of Courage / At the Hundredth Meridian / Wheat Kings / Fifty Mission Cap — four of his all-time favourites back to back. He told his brother he could have walked out happy right there.The deep-album slot that night: We Are the Same. Kirsten singles out "Now the Struggle Has a Name" — she still remembers the notes Gord hit — and talks about the mood of "Coffee Girl" and "Morning Moon."Chris is candid that the later records don't sit with him the way the early ones do, and names "An Inch an Hour" as the one that got away.Both were set-list watching night to night, trying to guess which album would get pulled next — and Kirsten notes what it meant for Gord to rotate the set at all, given how well known his struggles with lyrics were (see: "Cordelia" quietly disappearing from set lists for years).The EncoresEncore 1: Greasy Jungle → Scared → Grace, TooEncore 2: Fireworks → BobcaygeonKirsten on closing with "Bobcaygeon" instead of the usual barn-burner — phones and lighters up across the building, and Gord taking long moments to look out and take it in.Chris connects the "checkerboard floors" line to the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, and reads the closer as the band pointing back at where they started. He still goes to the Horseshoe every time he's in Toronto.Gord on StageThe eye contact — a recurring observation across this series. Kirsten notes Gord historically avoided looking at people because singing faces threw him off, and that on this tour the fourth wall came down.Her impression of him off stage from a brief meeting: quiet, soft-spoken, very funny, extremely thoughtful.Chris was struck by how minimalist the production was — no big screens, just five guys, a silver suit, the feather hat and the Jaws shirt.The honest part: Gord was visibly struggling in places, missing notes, with the band filling the gaps — and getting noticeably stronger night over night. Kirsten describes a collective will from the crowd pushing him through.The Last Night in the BarnThis was the final concert at Rexall Place / Northlands Coliseum before the move to Rogers Place — so the night carried a second goodbye.Chris and his brother started at the Vinyl Needle downtown (dinner, beers, and a Hip tribute band playing to a very envious crowd), then rode the LRT through pouring rain.Walking into a building he had been going to since 1980 and finding it stripped and sterile — memorabilia pulled down, replaced with deep-cut oddities like an old Edmonton Drillers photo.Kirsten on saying goodbye to a venue where she had seen Oilers playoffs, countless bands, and the Hip many times over.When It Hit"Courage." Chris looked left, looked right, looked down, looked at his brother — everyone was crying. First time he had ever cried at a concert.Kirsten describes it coming in waves, every night, over and over: this is it, this is the final tour.Chris screaming himself hoarse for one more encore — and getting it.Walking out: heavy, but joyful. The same line over and over on the way to the train — "I can't believe I was here."August 20: The CBC National BroadcastKirsten missed it live — Edmonton Fringe obligations with her wife — caught what she could on CBC Radio in the car, then watched her recording that night and lost it.Her take on Gord's address to Trudeau and the reconciliation focus of his final chapter, and on the optimism she thinks the country still needs.Chris hosted a house party for 15 or so, most of them less invested than he was, and had to explain to a room of nieces and nephews why Uncle Chris was crying on the couch.Both reflect on the outdoor watch parties across the country — and Chris floats the idea of doing one for the 10th anniversary.What They'd Tell Someone Who Wasn't ThereChris on the Hip as Canadiana nobody else has matched — the loon call in "Wheat Kings," getting away with naming an album Road Apples, the reflexive "Jacques Cartier, right this way" he and his buddy blurted out at a statue in France — and on being unabashedly proud to be Canadian.Kirsten remembers a spotlit banner behind the stage reading "Canada Loves the Hip," and lands on the privilege of witnessing it: great musicianship, great ambassadors, good people making good art.Notable Quotes“He didn't just sing it. He poured everything into that lyric — the only way he can.” — Chris, on "Ahead by a Century"“I was in the building. And that was what was important. I don't think I've ever been so happy to get such crappy tickets in my life.” — Chris“You just kind of willing him. There was a collective will, just like — you can do this.” — Kirsten“I looked to my left, looked to my right, looked down, and then I looked at my brother, and everybody was crying.” — Chris, on "Courage"“It came in waves. Each night it would come in waves — this is it. This is the final tour.” — Kirsten“I can't believe I was here. That was the thing we kept hearing over and over again as we got on the train.” — Chris“To be a witness of such great musicianship, such great ambassadors to Canada. Just good people doing good art.” — KirstenMentioned in This EpisodeVenues: Rexall Place / Northlands Coliseum · Rogers Place · Edmonton (Shaw) Convention Centre · the Vinyl Needle · the Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto · K-Rock Centre, KingstonSongs: Blow at High Dough · Courage · At the Hundredth Meridian · Wheat Kings · Fifty Mission Cap · Now the Struggle Has a Name · Coffee Girl · Morning Moon · New Orleans Is Sinking · Cordelia · An Inch an Hour · Greasy Jungle · Scared · Grace, Too · Fireworks · Bobcaygeon · Ahead by a CenturyAlbums & tours: Up to Here · Road Apples · Fully Completely · Live Between Us · Music @ Work · We Are the Same · Man Machine Poem · Another Roadside AttractionPeople: Gord Downie · Paul, Rob, Gord Sinclair and Johnny Fay · Courtney (Hip management) · Kathy Thompson · the Headstones · Robert Plant & Alison Krauss at the Edmonton Folk Music FestivalPlugs & Next TimeKirsten and Chris both used their plug on this podcast.

Ireland's face-value ticket forum Toutless reopens to the public on Monday August 3rd after a scam attack forced it to shut its doors to the public. Toutless co-founder Gary Devitt is this week's guest on the podcast, and we talk about where the Irish music live ticketing industry is at in the face of increased pricing, extra deluxe and platinum tiers and an Americanisation of buying tickets. It's becoming a concert caste system. Toutless' face-value fan-to-fan resale is a fundamentally different worldview to what is developing in the industry. Song played during episode: POSER - Summerhill See the Nialler9 Podcast for the full notes.

Guns N' Roses just kicked off the US tour and they're coming to rock at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday night! I had a great conversation with Duff McKagan about how the tour's been going, seeing so many generations of fans at the shows, staying in tip-top shape for their marathon shows, having so many songs to play and mixing it up every night, how fun it is to have Public Enemy on this tour, what a show day is like and how maybe he'll get to ride a few of the coasters at Hershey! Thanks for checking out my interview with Duff and you can get tickets for the Hersheypark Stadium show / party / throwdown from Guns N' F'n Roses at Ticketmaster!

Ten years to the day. Two fans who were at Rexall Place for Edmonton night one tell the story - the presale tricks, the tight circle on stage, and the night the building went to church.Episode SummaryEdmonton, night one. July 28th, 2016. Rexall Place - months before Rogers Place opened its doors - and The Tragically Hip's first of two nights in Oil Country on the Man Machine Poem Tour. Ten years later, Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour sits down with Britain from Wainwright and Dave from Edmonton, two fans who were in the building. Amber from Meadow Lake joins long enough to drop the ticket story of the series - her seniors' exercise class watching her land eighth row on the floor through the Tales From The Hip fan club presale, in tears - before the connection gremlins claim her. We hope to hear the rest of it someday.The road to tickets is half the fun. Dave is the lapsed fan brought all the way back - off the bus during the Bob Rock years, pulled in by 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', then all in the moment the news about Gord broke: two sets of four from Ticketmaster, first spin. Britain - 40 shows deep - worked the presale, then discovered Ticketmaster would upgrade seats right up to showtime, held his target ticket hostage online while he waited on the phone, and turned row 17 into row 11 centre. Then he drove the 200 kilometres from Wainwright and did it all again two nights later.Inside the building, the panel remembers the band opening in that tight huddle at the front of the stage - a support group, buddies in the garage, there for Gord - before the intermission and the thunderstorm video interlude gave way to the full rock show. The album-by-album set list format gets called a stroke of genius, the In Between Evolution sampler delivers 'Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park' as a sleeper highlight, and 'Scared' - "pleasure doing business with you" - leaves Britain levitating somewhere above the floor. Dave's word for it: church.There's real talk about saying goodbye - during the show, on August 20th, 2016 when CBC paused its own Olympics for 11 million of us, and not until the Long Time Running documentary made it land. The word this panel keeps coming back to: celebration.The PanelBritain from Wainwright - 40 shows and counting, equidistant from everywhere and willing to drive.

Ten years to the day. Three fans who were at Rogers Arena for Vancouver night two tell the story - the tickets, the Fiddler's Green goodbye, and the night a one-year-old slept through history.Episode SummaryUncharted waters - we never do third ones. Vancouver, night two. July 26th, 2016. Rogers Arena, the third stop on the Man Machine Poem Tour, and the night The Tragically Hip opened with Fully Completely - just like the set-list sleuths predicted. Ten years later, Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour gathers three fans who were in the building: Craig from Langley, Tina from Prince George, and Jay from BC - currently in Ottawa, so probably working for CSIS. We're careful what we say.The ticket stories run the full range. Craig and three coworkers all hit Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. sharp and every one of them scored - no bots, no drama. Tina borrowed a friend's Amex presale code, landed 13th row at the back, then got a phone call: Ryan was trading her his row seven, side of stage seats, because the bigger fan deserved the better view. Jay missed Victoria for a high school reunion, struck out on Vancouver night one, and was mid-refresh with his whole family when his dad popped up with the last row of the lower bowl - exactly where he likes to sit.Then there's the night itself. Tina brought her daughter - the day before her first birthday - who took in the whole scene, collected high fives across the concourse, and fell asleep against her mom the moment the music started. The panel digs into the songs that hit differently: Craig's 'So Hard Done By' that suddenly wasn't funny, Jay's 'Fifty Mission Cap' with Bill Barilko's ghost and the shiny hats, a 'Music @ Work' section that produced 'Toronto #4' - bonkers - and the 'Fiddler's Green' that became Tina's goodbye moment, her "hey man, thanks" to the band that got her through everything. Plus the 'Grace, Too' moment both nights: three minutes of guitar and an entire building screaming.Ten years on, the reflections go deep - how Long Time Running reframed everyone's memories, the Spirit of the West parallel at the Commodore, and Tina on what Gord's Kingston challenge to Trudeau has meant to the Indigenous community: a legacy that goes beyond the music. The word this panel lands on: gifted.The PanelCraig from Langley - 18 shows deep, first one in 1993 with his buddy Gord. Went to both Vancouver nights, predicted the Fully Completely opener in writing, and reunited with Dan, his old drummer, before the show.Tina from Prince George - Day For Night-era fan with the deep-cut lyric tattoo to prove it. Brought her daughter to the show the day before her first birthday; that kid is now a proud Gord Downie fan.Jay from BC - then working at the BC legislature in Victoria, now in Ottawa (no further questions).

Ten years on, jD sits down with three fans who were there the night the Tragically Hip played Vancouver on the Man Machine Poem tour — the second stop of Gord Downie's final run across Canada. Tina, Joe, and Shaun walk through the whole arc of that evening: the scramble for tickets when floor seats and Ticketmaster luck meant everything, the electric-but-apprehensive mood in the building as everyone wondered how Gord would hold up, and the moment his shaking hand during "Three Pistols" turned nerves into relief.The conversation ranges from the emotional gut-punches — "Grace, Too," "Bobcaygeon," "Tired as Fuck," and "At Transformation" — to the craft behind the show: the band huddling close around Gord like a bar band again, the retrospective set lists that pulled from nearly half their catalog, and the stripped-down staging that only fully landed watching the final concert on TV. Along the way there's talk of secondary-market ticket gouging and dynamic pricing, the pride of a country coming together over a rock band, and how each of them found their way home that night carrying a feeling Tina sums up perfectly: "How can you feel so empty and so full at the same time?"Next episode: July 26 — Vancouver Night 2, with a new panel.Tina from VancouverA devoted Hip fan (by her own admission the bigger fan in her household) who scored floor seats, row 26, through Ticketmaster while nearly everyone she knew was shut out. "Grace, Too" was the song that hit her hardest that night. By day she works for a Canadian pet-treat company.Only One Treats — Canadian-made pet treats with a single ingredient. Find them on Facebook, Instagram, and other socials, and in local pet food stores.Joe from VancouverA lifelong musician (playing in bands since he was 15) and an entertainment-lighting professional — a rental account manager for a major North American lighting company. He got into Vancouver Night 1 on a spare ticket from his cousin's daughter, sat on Rob's side of the arena, and has played Rob Baker in a Hip tribute, which shaped how closely he watched the band that night.

He got a ticket on the first crack through Ticketmaster and watched from the rafters, just happy to be in the building. "Three Pistols" is forever linked for him to the image of Gord's shaking hand.

Ten years to the day. Three fans who were in the building for opening night in Victoria tell the story - the tickets, the silver suit, and the night the Man Machine Poem Tour began.Episode SummaryFirst stop. July 22nd, 2016. The Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, where The Tragically Hip opened the Man Machine Poem Tour and, as jD puts it, tore the place up. Ten years later, Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour gathers three fans who were there - Chris from Kelowna, Dave from Campbell River, and Jay from Edmonton - to take it from soup to nuts: hearing the news, chasing the tickets, and living the night.The ticket stories alone are worth the price of admission. Dave had seen The Hip 19 times and never sweated a ticket - until dynamic pricing and the bots turned this on-sale into the most stressful of his life. Chris dumb-lucked into fabulous seats through a venue voucher he had to drive to Victoria to redeem - and ended up on CBC, Global, CTV, and CNNalong the way, posting his mileage in a very Canadian unit: 12 Tragically Hip songs per hundred kilometres. Jay stared down 45 minutes of "sold out" on Ticketmaster before row four on the floor appeared for him, his wife, and his two-year-old daughter - then did it again and landed row two for Vancouver.Then the lights went down and 'Boots or Hearts' opened the night. The panel remembers the acoustic-style start, the deep cuts up front, Gord Downie's glittering silver suit and feather - and Chris's reading of it all: this was the band flipping the bird at cancer and controlling the narrative. Jay's daughter got a wave from Gord during 'Blow at High Dough' - a moment you can spot in the documentary. Dave got 'The Luxury', played for the first time since 2000, at his 20th show.There's real talk about the four "Man Machine Poem" songs played each night - 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', 'Machine', 'What Blew', and one more with a title we can't print here - plus where everyone was on August 20th, 2016, from inside the Kingston barn to packed small-town bars in Dorintosh, Saskatchewan, and Vanderhoof, BC. The word the panel lands on: gratitude.The PanelChris from Kelowna - longtime search and rescue volunteer, then living in Vanderhoof.

In part two of our series, we continue to figure out why buying concert tickets has become one of the most frustrating consumer experiences…and why it's always been that way. From the evolution of ticketing from physical box offices and early computer systems to the rise of Ticketmaster, we want to understand how service fees, scalping, exclusive venue contracts, and industry power struggles shaped the modern ticket market. Through artists like Pearl Jam and the Grateful Dead, we find out how economics, technology, and demand transformed concerts into a high‑stakes business, setting the stage for today's world of instant sellouts and dynamic pricing. All in the hopes of you getting that concert ticket that you've been waiting for, in the virtual line-up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Red, White & Blues FC | The World Cup Is Over and We're Not OkaySpain lifted the trophy, Argentina got what they deserved, FIFA gouged everybody blind — and we have to go back to just being Chelsea fans now.The World Cup's over, and Jason opened the show genuinely mourning the fact that he can't just be a fan of football anymore — he has to go back to being a fan of Chelsea. Before we get into it: yes, Morgan Rogers is coming to Chelsea, and no, we're not giving you our real take on that until Thursday's transfer roundup. Consider this the palate cleanser — one last love letter to a tournament that had no business being as good as it was. We both went in with expectations on the floor and walked out calling it an A+.Spain Were Just Better — One Goal the Entire TournamentWe're united as households on this one: shout out Spain. Daniel's big argument is the one he's been screaming at Blueco to copy since day one — you build from the back and you win by not letting the other team score. Spain conceded exactly one goal the whole tournament, ran a 19-year-old out at center back, let Unai Simón coast on one or two saves a game, and still found the goal when it mattered (that Nico Williams header back across for Ferran Torres was gorgeous). The final itself was a boring, ugly watch — Spain couldn't finish, Dibu Martínez put on one of the great World Cup final keeping performances and still lost because Argentina did, in Jason's words, absolutely jack all night. They didn't register a real shot in the first 90. They deserved nothing, and Enzo Fernández taking one for the team with that cartoon second yellow felt like poetry.FIFA, Infantino, and the Great Ticket HeistHere's where we go long and angry. Trump 80-year-old-manned the trophy presentation and nobody — not even Infantino sprinting back across the stage — could get him off it. That was the only prediction we nailed all tournament. From there it's the ticket scandal: FIFA running its own resale site for the first time, a whole Belgium-fan section mysteriously going on sale the day before the US–Belgium match at $1,600 a pop against a $60 face value, tier-two seats quietly getting “expanded” into what were really tier-three views. Canada forced FIFA to relist; the US gave them carte blanche. We put Infantino on a pace to out-corrupt Sepp Blatter and genuinely mean it.Funflation and the Fans Who Paid AnywayThe part that actually depresses us: people paid. Stadiums were full. And every dollar those fans coughed up just teaches FIFA it can charge more in four years — it's not if prices go up, it's how much. Jason walks through the “painted doors” idea (companies A/B testing what you'll tolerate) and “funflation,” the creeping cost of doing literally anything fun, from World Cup tickets to Ticketmaster concerts to $100 parking and $100 subway rides to a stadium built in a swamp you can't walk to. We admit it hit us personally — we'd planned to go for a couple years and priced ourselves out rather than be “World Cup broke” for the next two. Great tournament. FIFA gets zero credit for it.The Third-Place Classic, the Booth Wars, and Closing the Book on Messi & RonaldoThe stuff we loved: England vs. France in the third-place game, a ten-goal exhibition that turned into pure competitive pride once the players got going — Jason calls it better than the final. England going into the Azteca and beating Mexico. Cape Verde drawing Spain and going home heroes. On the booth: all hail Rebecca Lowe, and please, Paramount, give us Zlatan and Thierry Henry full-time and keep Alexi Lalas as far from a microphone as humanly possible. Stu Holden gets both barrels for narrating the obvious as if he has inside knowledge, and for the whole crew being so unready for a boring final they filled time talking about the weather. We close on the legends aging out — Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar waving goodbye while Mbappé's already passed them with two World Cups likely still ahead — plus the eternal USMNT reality check (Pulisic showed up for one game and vanished; stop with the Captain America stuff) and a quick debate over whether third-place stats should count. Verdict: two enthusiastic balls way up. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit redwhitebluesfc.substack.com

Myles Clifford has been at every major Russell Brunson event for close to a decade, and most people have never heard his name. He took a pay cut to join ClickFunnels, spent his first months restocking the fridge and taking out the trash, and now he runs every live event the company puts on. In this episode he explains why Funnel Hacking Live went away, why it's back, and what he builds into a room to make sure people leave different than they walked in. Chris Cameron and Dante Torelli get the full story: the demand that pulled FHL out of retirement, the move to a theater at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, and why this year's event is smaller, shorter, and built around where marketing is heading with AI. Inside this episode: Why the audience, not the team, brought Funnel Hacking Live back What's different this time: 2,500 seats, assigned seating through Ticketmaster, and a two and a half day format instead of four More time with Russell and Todd, fewer speakers, and a lineup focused on the next five years How Myles keeps dozens of events a year from falling apart, and the one trait he'd hire for The mindset that gets him through 16-hour event days, plus a chair story you have to hear Whether you run events, build funnels, or want to know how an event this size actually comes together, Myles shows you the work most people never see.

Buying a concert ticket should be simple and easy...but has it ever been? In this two-part series, we're going to try to unpack the surprisingly long, messy, and often corrupt evolution of ticketing, from ancient Greek theatres to the rise of computerized systems in the late 20th century. We'll dig into how tickets evolved from physical tokens and box-office lineups to early computer-driven services like Ticketron, Select-A-Seat, BASS, and the early days of Ticketmaster. We've seen persistent problems that never seem to go away: scalping, service charges, bribery, counterfeit tickets, unequal access, and frustrated fans. From the very first rock concert disaster in 1952 to the technological growing pains of the 1970s and '80s, there were never any “good old days” when it came to buying tickets.

The Experience Strategy Podcast | theexperiencestrategist.substack.com A Wall Street Journal article from June 3, 2026 asked a question that stopped the hosts cold: What is personalized pricing, and why are lawmakers scrambling to ban it? The premise — that companies might start using behavioral data to charge you a price uniquely calibrated to what you'll pay — prompted an immediate, live Google search and a conversation that spanned economics, loyalty, Kmart's demise, Coca-Cola's famous blunder, and a grocery delivery mishap that somehow became a love story. What's in This Episode Dynamic pricing versus personalized pricing — there's a real difference. Seasonal pricing, surge pricing, and inventory-based price swings are old news. What the WSJ article is pointing at is something newer: AI-powered systems that use your specific behavioral data — browsing history, routines, purchase patterns, location — to set a price just for you. The Uber example makes it concrete: if the system knows you take your kid to school every morning at 8am, it can raise the price for that ride because it knows you'll pay it. Does Amazon already do this? Amazon says no — prices shift every ten minutes based on competitor pricing, inventory, and overall popularity, not individual profiles. But dig deeper and you find location-based and behavior-based price discrimination already in practice. Joe's verdict: "Amazon is really good at hiding it." Aransas found documentation confirming that Prime membership status, browsing history, and purchase behavior all factor in — which, as she points out, is exactly what the article is describing. The economic logic is real, but so are the ethics. Joe makes the case for dynamic pricing on classical economics grounds: it clears markets, matches price to willingness-to-pay, and brings sellers to the table who wouldn't otherwise show up (hence the umbrella vendor in the rain). But Dave flags where it gets dangerous fast: zip code-based pricing is functionally equivalent to race-based pricing in many markets. Charging more to people in food deserts, or gouging communities after a tornado, is a different proposition entirely than charging more for a hotel room during peak season. The Coca-Cola cautionary tale. About 20 years ago, Coca-Cola announced dynamic pricing in their vending machines — prices would rise when it was hot out. They were immediately lambasted. Joe's observation: all they had to do was flip the frame. "When it's cold, we charge less" and "when it's hot, we charge more" describe the exact same pricing model — but one is a gift and the other is exploitation. How you present it is everything. They never launched it. Consumers will have counter-tools — and faster than you think. Dave predicts the AI arms race runs both ways. The same technology enabling personalized pricing will power consumer-side tools that comparison-shop in real time, flag price discrimination, and route purchases to cheaper alternatives automatically. He's watching Gemini (especially through Apple's Siri integration) as the likely first mover on this. Joe's point: "Information will out." If you're doing it in secret, your customers will eventually find out. Would you do it if you had to announce it at the same time? The subscription model is the cleaner answer. Both Dave and Aransas point to subscription as the more honest path — you get a flat, predictable price; the company gets reliable lifetime value; and the relationship isn't built on information asymmetry. Aransas's Stop and Shop story becomes the episode's centerpiece here: online grocery delivery, happily paying the subscription fee and weekly tips, lower total grocery spend despite the higher convenience cost, and 100% share of wallet. The relationship survived bruised bananas and a botched delivery in a heat wave — because a customer service rep named her new best friend recovered the moment with warmth and a complete solution. That's the model. The Kmart lesson. Dave connects the dots to history: Kmart's blue light specials trained customers to hold out for the deal. Consumers got tired of gaming the system, Walmart offered everyday low prices and won. Ticketmaster is living the next version of this story right now. Pricing models that turn every transaction into a battle erode trust and invite regulation. Transparency is the experience strategist's job. Aransas closes with the takeaway she most wants the audience to carry out: experience strategists are going to be in the room when these conversations happen. Be the person who says, let's not do this in secret. The companies that deploy personalized pricing with transparency — "here's why you're seeing this price" — are the ones that preserve the relationship. The ones that don't will get caught. Referenced "What is Personalized Pricing?" — Wall Street Journal, June 3, 2026, by Jackie Snow Coca-Cola dynamic vending machine pricing announcement (circa 2000) Kmart blue light specials as a cautionary pricing model Ticketmaster as a current case study in pricing backlash and regulatory scrutiny The Experience Strategy Podcast is hosted by Dave Norton and Aransas Savas.

The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference has made a lot of waves since last we talked, what with Millsaps and then Southwestern electing to rejoin the SCAC starting in 2027. So, at the risk of there perhaps being a third member of the Southern Athletic Association returning to the SCAC before we could get the podcast out, we sat down with Dwayne Hanberry, commissioner of the SCAC, to discuss the changes, the status of Gallaudet in the conference, and more. This edition of the D3football.com Podcast is sponsored by GameStrat, the most reliable & fastest in-game video replay system on the market. Find out more at GameStrat.com. In addition to that breaking news, we also discuss the recent announcement that the Monon Bell game will be played at Ball State University, in Muncie, Indiana, at a price of $50 a ticket plus Ticketmaster fees. There will be words, for sure. We also talk too early about the preseason Top 25 poll, which should come out within the next week. Our coach interviews in this edition of the podcast each represent opposite ends of the experience spectrum. That includes Tyler Hopperton, who has been the head coach at Mount St. Joseph going on a decade and has been at MSJ as either a coach or player for half the lifetime of the program. Hopperton talks about his team going to a bowl game last year after a string of three consecutive NCAA playoff trips, the high points in Cincinnati’s Division III program and the benefits of Skyline Chili. We also have Jacob Donohoe, the new head coach at Nebraska Wesleyan, coming over after spending time as an offensive coordinator at Coe. He takes over a program which was coached by Brian Keller for the past 30 years, was a longtime member of the NAIA and in a whole different conference.  Donohoe talks about reconnecting with alumni, changing the terminology within the program, what he learned at Coe and more, including the famous Runza sandwich. Mentioned in the podcast: ATN Podcast 378, The Texas two-swap Full interview with Dwayne Hanberry Plus we answer mailbag questions about the future of Trinity (Texas), and about the best quarterback performances we’ve seen in covering Division III. That and more in this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (7.1) Timmy set the patriotic cruise-ship vibe on KFI years ago after the Costa Concordia disaster — atta boy, you ain’t no jinx! Now the whole crew is following suit as we cheer on Team USA vs. Bosnia in the FIFA World Cup. Timmy’s all about flying that American flag for the country’s massive 250th birthday — and fun fact: thieves know if there’s an American flag out front, there’s probably a gun inside, so steer clear, burglars! Chair of America250 and former US Treasurer Rosie Rios joins the show — she signed trillions in US currency, rose from one of nine kids raised by a single mom to Harvard grad and one of the highest positions in government. Atta girl! She’ll be in New York for the July 3 ball drop, then heading to LA for the huge America’s Block Party Benefit Show at the LA Coliseum on the 4th with Maren Morris, Chris Stapleton, Smashing Pumpkins, Chaka Khan, Anthony Ramos and host Queen Latifah. Tickets are a steal at just $17.76 on Ticketmaster! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 4 (7.1) Everyone’s catching serious patriotic FIFA fever! Local bars are serving up special tournament drinks while parents bring the kids to the watering holes so they don’t miss the action. Rosie Rios, Chair of America250 and former US Treasurer joins Timmy! She’s helping lead the nation’s 250th birthday celebrations and will be in LA for the massive America’s Block Party Benefit Show at the LA Coliseum on the 4th with Maren Morris, Chris Stapleton, Smashing Pumpkins, Chaka Khan, Anthony Ramos and host Queen Latifah. Tickets are a steal at just $17.76 on Ticketmaster. Aaron Klein, Chief Product Officer of Petco Love, also stops by to highlight their amazing nonprofit using free AI tech that’s already reunited over 250,000 lost pets with their families — a happy reunion every four minutes! And in other news, sad to report that Village People’s iconic “policeman” Victor Willis, co-writer of “Y.M.C.A.” and “Macho Man,” has passed at 74. Meanwhile, two daredevils scaled nearly 1,500 feet up the Empire State Building in masks and black for a very public marriage proposal — she said yes to bucketloads of attention!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Empty seats can cancel a tour faster than bad reviews, yet rock touring is still printing money. We start with a rapid-fire rundown of newly announced rock and metal tours and quickly end up doing what real fans do: clicking past the headline to check official artist sites, compare dates, and figure out whether these runs are truly “fall tours” or just a handful of shows with a catchy label.From there, we dig into the live music economy: major tour earners, the reality of Ticketmaster seat maps packed with available seats, and why some artists overbook venues they can't fill. We talk about how early tour cancellations protect budgets, but also how they disappoint the people who already made plans, bought tickets, and just wanted a loud night out.We also get into the messy, behind-the-scenes stuff that shapes concerts: leaked and unfinished recordings (and whether fans should listen at all), curfews and fines that can chop an encore, and the kind of production nightmare that happens when a show gets hit with a power outage mid-set. Then we lighten it up with our question of the day on favorite hair metal bands, run through the latest country and rock chart countdowns, and hit July music birthdays.To close, Tiffany shares her new book, Networking Your Way To The Big Stage, including the writing process, imposter syndrome, and how small relationship-building habits can multiply opportunities for artists and anyone working in the music industry.

Send us Fan MailLast year, every major outlet ran the same story: 16 billion passwords exposed. Apple. Google. Facebook. The largest breach in history.It was overblown. Security experts tore it apart within 48 hours.But here's the thing: the real story underneath that headline is actually scarier. And nobody covered it.It's called infostealer malware. It's been quietly running on millions of devices — stealing passwords, bypassing MFA, and feeding an underground credential economy that's behind nearly every major breach of the last two years. Ticketmaster. AT&T. Coinbase. All of it traces back here.In this episode, I dig back into that story and break down:Why the 16 billion number was a "fearset, not a dataset"What infostealer malware actually is and how it gets on your deviceWhy MFA doesn't fully protect you from this (and what does)The underground marketplace where your stolen credentials are sold within 48 hoursThe stat that should genuinely keep you up at night: 67 secondsSix things you can do right now to protect yourselfSHOW NOTESEpisode: Your Password Is Already For SaleLast year, the 16 billion password story dominated headlines. The headline was overblown — but the real threat underneath it, infostealer malware, is what nobody talked about. It's an industrial-scale credential theft economy running quietly in the background, and it's the engine behind almost every major data breach of the last two years.

Bad Bunny is dominating the news this week because of his London run on the DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour, where he is set for shows on June 27 and June 28 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. El Ibérico says these are the only London concerts on the tour and describes them as a major Spanish-language milestone in the United Kingdom, while Ticketmaster's blog is also still pointing to Bad Bunny as one of the names shaping the 2026 summer music conversation.[4][1][3] The biggest social-media storyline right now is the reaction to his live performance in the U.K., including talk around an exclusive song he reportedly performed called “CYBERTRUCK” during his first London show. A June 27 Instagram post from LajuntaPlus highlights that track as a show-specific exclusive, which has helped fuel fan discussion across social platforms.[13] Another major topic is his continued global impact even without new music. Instagram posts circulating this week claim he is still the most listened-to Latin artist in 2026 and has now passed four million albums in the year, reflecting how strongly his catalog is still moving online and in streaming culture.[8][6] Those claims align with broader coverage that he has become the first Latin artist to cross $1 billion in touring income, with La Revista Actual citing Billboard Boxscore figures of $1.08 billion in ticket revenue since 2017.[5] Bad Bunny is also in the news for his public response to regional crises in Latin America. An Instagram reel from this week says he sent direct support to people affected by recent earthquakes, with the quote, “Ustedes son un país muy valiente,” showing that his visibility is not only musical but also political and humanitarian.[2] Another Instagram post notes that he joined other artists and leaders in sending solidarity to the Venezuelan people after the quakes, reinforcing that his name is being used in broader relief and empathy conversations online.[10] There is also ongoing chatter around his touring power and demand. Ticketing and fan-posting activity shows strong interest in the current world tour, with resale and event listings still active for late June and July dates, and even Reddit fans discussing practical concert details at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.[19][22] For listeners, the bottom line is that Bad Bunny's current news cycle is being driven by a high-profile London tour stop, social-media buzz around exclusive live material, and fresh reminders of his commercial dominance and public influence.[4][13][5] Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

How did people buy tickets before TicketMaster? We might be lucky to have it.

Send us Fan MailConcert tickets should feel like a reward for being a fan, not a stress test designed by scammers. We start with what's been on our minds lately, from ARASHI love and the rumor mill around Matsumoto Jun to the simple truth that we'll keep supporting the members no matter what their next chapter looks like. That affection turns into a surprising travel daydream when talk of Ohno and Okinawa leads us into island culture, nostalgia, and why certain places feel like home before you even visit.Then the mood shifts, because the live music world is still a mess. Fujii Kaze's tour announcement should be pure excitement, especially with North America cities on the list, but we can't forget what happened last time: instant sellouts and resale tickets priced so high they feel like a joke. We talk Ticketmaster-style queues, the reseller economy, and why fans keep pushing for changes that make concert ticketing fair, clear, and harder to exploit.We also get into the June Rookie Idol Group Brand Reputation Rankings from the Korean Business Research Institute, what those metrics can actually mean, and how much invisible labor fandoms put in to move the needle. On the awards side, we celebrate Music Awards Japan 2026 wins and shout out the momentum for women in music, including XG's “Hypnotize” and HANA taking Best New Artist.If you've ever rage-scrolled during a ticket drop or wondered how “buzz” gets measured, you'll feel seen here.

It's not in your head and yes inflation is real but ticket prices have indeed kept climbing for years. One company has a monopoly on the industry and doesn't even have the decency to wear a top hat and own hotels on Baltic Avenue. Holden charts the founding of Ticketmaster, how it won the war and now controls everything. But hey, we're not just about doom and gloom here so we're highlighting all the good folks that have fought for their fans and the fans themselves who are saying "We're Not Gonna Take It" in their best Dee Snider snarl and simply not giving in to ludicrous prices despite how much they would love to see Post Malone and Jellyroll.

We're podcasting per the launch of the World Cup-tracking Probability Cup, but of course, just had to talk about Wednesday night's NBA Finals classic.

Topics!* Knicks–Spurs Finals comeback analysis and whether San Antonio collapsed or New York surged.* How teams should manage volatility differently when protecting large leads versus playing from behind.* Debate over NBA referee incentives, league interests, and the possibility of series-extension bias.* SportsPredict's World Cup Probability Cup and using prediction contests to identify analytical talent.* Whether modern hiring should adopt a “Moneyball” approach by measuring forecasting skill instead of relying on traditional credentials.* Is the big money in studying idiot sports predictors or geniuses?Again, join our Probability Cup contest and perhaps win an iPad Pro ($1,000 value) or $200 Ticketmaster gift card.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Kash Patel brings UFC to FBI. WTF???   A federal judge in Maryland issued a TRO blocking the construction of an ICE detention facility without first undertaking the legally required environmental impact assessment.   The Trump administration filed an "emergency" petition to the Supreme Court demanding that it be allowed to immediately deport 350,000 Haitians who have enjoyed Temporary Protected Status for decades. It insists an earlier shadow docket ruling allowing it to deport Venezuelan TPS holders is precedential. An amicus brief from 175 former judges points out that shadow docket orders are definitionally non-precedential.   The USDA is teaming up with Robert Kennedy and his team of freaks at Health and Human Services to Make America Healthy Again … by shaming poor people for their food choices. SNAP recipients sued in DC to block a "pilot" program to allow states to restrict food benefits to exclude sugary foods.   MAIN SHOW:   DOGE destroyed the National Endowment for the Humanities in three weeks last spring. We wrote about it on the blog, and discussed the ongoing litigation. Turns out, the DOGE dudes are pissed that the plaintiffs released video of them smirking their way through depositions.   On Monday, in the middle of trial, the Trump administration tried to blow up the antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster. This leaves the 40 states which joined the suit as co-plaintiffs in the lurch. Judge Arun Subramanian has ordered the parties to huddle up and see if they can't negotiate a settlement. Will the case go forward next week without the lead plaintiff?   And Andrew has an extended exploration of Trump's plan to use a little known federal agency called the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to get oil tankers to cross the Strait of Hormuz. The DFC has released a plan (or at least, concepts of a plan) to reinsure insurance companies that issue war riders. Which might help if insurance companies were refusing to issue policies to ships at sea – except that insurance companies are still underwriting as many marine policies as ever. It's just that it costs more now, because of the war.   Plus for subscribers, we'll break down the bar complaint against fan favorite Ed Martin.   Kash Patel Confirms UFC Fighters Will Train FBI Agents This Week, Calling It A "Historic Opportunity" https://deadline.com/2026/03/kash-patel-ufc-fighters-train-fbi-agents-1236750897/   State of Maryland v.

DOCKET ALERTS:   The lady who wore a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama was acquitted of disturbing the peace.   DNI Tulsi Gabbard referred the Ukraine Whistleblower and former Intelligence Community Inspector General to the DOJ for criminal prosecution. Crime: TBD.   US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro continues to harass the Federal Reserve. This time she sent prosecutors to bang on the door demanding to inspect the ongoing renovations.   The Trump administration uses the threat of administrative sanctions to force changes it can't get from Congress or the courts. The Justice Department extorted $17 million from IBM — which just so happens to have billions of dollars in government contracts! — for committing DEI "fraud." And the FTC forced brand advisers to agree not to "discriminate" against conservative media outlets.   On a more positive note, a judge in Maryland continues to block the ICE facility being constructed in the state, and Judge Richard Leon put the kibosh on Trump's ballroom … again.   MAIN SHOW:   A jury slapped Live Nation and Ticket Master in the antitrust lawsuit filed in New York. The feds noped out two days into trial, but the states who picked up the baton and ran with it. The jurors found the company liable on all counts. We talk about the ins and outs of the decision and some pending legal questions still waiting for resolution.    We also break down a new lawsuit brought by a lawful resident of Maine with no criminal record who was seized by ICE during "Operation Catch of the Day" and brutalized. Can he sue under the Maine Civil Rights Act?

We're kicking off with a Dumpster Fire Corner that basically writes itself — UFC fights on the South Lawn of the White House, an America 250 concert lineup that's... something, and Georgia gas prices ticking back up at midnight. Oh, and Jill Biden is doing press for her new book. We have thoughts. From there, we're checking in on our 2026 predictions, then catching up on stories we've been tracking: a jury found Live Nation acted as a monopoly, Ticketmaster's president admitted the queue isn't randomized (lol), and listener John asked us to dig into FIFA — so we went in on corruption, Qatar, migrant worker deaths, and whether we're personally watching the World Cup. We've also got a great mailbag this week — a listener used the confessional to blow the whistle on the current Ebola outbreak, a dispatch on government protests in Ireland from a Gen Z/Alpha listener on the ground, and a beautiful email about grandparents secretly canceling each other out with rogue baptisms.

Today's daily comedy adventure starts with an actual real estate listing from the underworld itself: Hell, Michigan is officially for sale. That's right — for the low, low price of $625,000, you too can own seven acres of pure Midwestern chaos complete with a wedding chapel, mini golf, souvenir shop, and an ice cream stand called “The Crematory.” Because apparently somebody looked at a normal small-town business plan and said, “Needs more eternal damnation.”The gang debates whether Hell is secretly a genius investment opportunity, whether Lern should become mayor of Hell, and how long before somebody turns the whole thing into a TikTok influencer commune with haunted goat yoga and craft IPA flights called “Satan's Hazy Delight.”Then things get appropriately weird in Crap On Celebrities:Adam Sandler causes internet drama by showing up to his wife's red carpet premiere dressed like he just wandered out of a Knicks tailgate.Gayle King once again denies she and Oprah are secretly together, while Rizz remains approximately 0% convinced.Cindy Crawford reveals a longtime eyelid condition and somehow still looks better than the rest of humanity combined.Sam Elliott confirms he's basically been the voice of America for decades thanks to Smokey Bear.A Perfect Circle drops new music for the first time in eight years.Jared Leto apparently wants your eyeballs now with a bizarre iris-scanning concert ticket system because regular Ticketmaster misery wasn't dystopian enough.Jon Hamm stars in what might become the greatest movie premise ever: a woman desperately trying to cash in her celebrity hall pass before her marriage collapses.And then… possibly the dumbest and greatest moment of the show: Lern unveils her absolutely unhinged patriotic remix promoting America's 250th birthday celebration featuring CNC Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, Milli Vanilli, and enough early-90s energy drinks to restart the economy. Honestly, if this lineup doesn't scream “government-funded county fair energy,” nothing does.Also:Back In The Day triviaRocky III nostalgiaGary Coleman conspiracy talkWhy nobody should ever trust “orb technology”Why Phil Hartman's story is still heartbreakingThe return of weird celebrity AI recreationsAnd somehow Bedman & Throbbin enters the conversation because this show legally cannot behave itself for more than six consecutive minutes.This daily comedy episode is exactly what happens when a funny morning show has unrestricted access to microphones, caffeine, and internet headlines that sound fake but somehow aren't.If you love weird news, sarcastic humor, celebrity nonsense, and St. Louis radio chaos, congratulations — you found your people.

There's been endless conversation around ticket prices recently, mostly blaming Ticketmaster and scalpers for surged prices. The All American Rejects say the artists themselves should start to take some accountability.

In FOLLOW UP, the guys marvel at the completely normal state of America as Amnesty International issues a travel advisory for the 2026 World Cup because apparently “visiting the United States” now comes with the same vibe as backpacking through a failed cyberpunk state. Then it's onto Dead Podcast Theory, where more than a third of all new podcasts are AI-generated “podslop,” proving Silicon Valley heard “everyone has a podcast” and responded with “what if nobody did?” Meanwhile, Ticketmaster reminds everyone that if you've purchased a concert ticket since 2010, there's probably a class action settlement with your name on it and enough compensation for half a convenience fee.IN THE NEWS is basically one long panic attack sponsored by AI. The White House is considering regulating AI models, Canada says OpenAI vacuumed up everyone's personal data like a drunk Roomba, Character.AI allegedly impersonated a licensed psychiatrist, and Mother Jones found ChatGPT still happily helping aspiring mass shooters workshop their plans. Snap's Perplexity deal died quietly in a ditch while Meta keeps assembling humanoid robots like it's building the world's most annoying version of Westworld. Then GameStop tries to buy eBay in the dumbest sentence ever typed, Ryan Cohen gets himself banned from eBay while trying to meme-finance the deal, Elon Musk settles with the SEC for pocket lint money, Coinbase fires people because “AI,” Toto accidentally becomes a semiconductor giant through toilet technology, and smart glasses officially evolve from creepy gadget to extortion accessory.MEDIA CANDY brings some relief with Daredevil: Born Again and Widow's Bay. The Academy finally decides AI-generated actors and scripts can't win Oscars, which feels like the bare minimum required to stop ChatGPT from getting Best Supporting Actor before Willem Dafoe.In APPS & DOODADS, Pornhub returns to the UK thanks to Apple's age verification system, Ask.com finally dies and takes Jeeves with it into the great dial-up tone in the sky, and Apple agrees to pay users because “Apple Intelligence” arrived somewhere between vaporware and wishful thinking.Finally, THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE tackles the true meaning of “decimate,” AI-powered C-3PO heads, mechanical keyboards for grown men who refuse to use laptop keys, Maul: Shadow Lord, The Boys, and a reminder that Solo was a great movie, grocery store adventures, lost AirPods, and the eternal mystery of why middle-aged dudes become furries.
