Now you see your tickets, now you don’t 🎩🎟️ Tickets are mysteriously disappearing from customer accounts on Ticketmaster. Their verdict? Blame it on weak passwords. 😅🔐 But for fans, it's feeling less like “user error” and more like a disappearing act no one signed up for. Not to mention the Ticketmaster data breach that happened only a few months prior....👀 https://lnkd.in/ghX4EHvk

You can’t walk five steps without bumping into a ticketing #scandal... 😲 The latest scandal: Companies scalping tickets to their own customers—a sign of deeper issues plaguing the entire market. How did we get here? The resale market has been shrinking, with competition heating up and regulations tightening. Even companies focused solely on resale have struggled to keep pace, prompting some to move into the primary #ticket market to boost revenue. However, this shift can backfire. Instead of partnering with clients to manage sales, the company now competes for the same customers, effectively cannibalizing its core business by turning partners into competitors. The last resort: #scalping their own customers. 🥴 This isn't about pointing fingers but learning from the aftershock of major players in the industry going under. At Showpass, we are continually learning and working on ways to safeguard fans. More recently, we launched secure Ticket Resales with price caps in place to prevent price-gouging. It's time for more tickets without the chaos. 🤝 What do you think about the ticket-scalping plaguing the industry? ⬇️
