world cup, brewers world series, and now harryween.
same chart every time. prices pump the last week before the event, while the tickets that fans bought months ago haven’t been sent yet.
for sellers, if you sold at $480 in June and that seat is now worth $963, the math says bust the order, eat the penalty, and resell it at today’s price.
already starting to see the “we couldn’t find replacements, here’s your refund” emails for fans that booked hotel and flights. now they're forced to go back to the market and pay nearly 2x, pushing prices even higher.
the climb isn’t just from last minute buyers, it’s fans who bought 6 months ago getting forced back in.
a short squeeze, except the one getting squeezed is the fan
hot take: your favorite artist’s tour is worse than FIFA
same playbook, just hidden
FIFA’s the villain for plenty of reasons, but on tickets at least they said it out loud
Exclusive: FIFA made $5 billion from tickets & hospitality at 2026 World Cup - over five times more than at previous World Cup thanks in large part to controversial dynamic pricing.

The ticket-price discourse seemed to reach its fever pitch this summer with the Knicks’ Finals run and the FIFA World Cup.
Instead, appliance- or vacation-worthy prices have extended into other sports and even the Knicks’ regular season.

with the postponement of last night’s game, guardians could theoretically clinch the series in game 4 without it being a sweep.
thats gotta be a first for a 7 game playoff series right?
fans want fun ways to buy tickets
@xpticket will make tickets fun again

how do these work tho like is it just a random opponent and random seats bc that actually sounds so fun
ticket shrinkflation!
Rangers Pass launched last month at $150/mo for lower bowl when demand was soft after back to back disappointing seasons.
team starts hot, November pass becomes “lower and upper bowl.” same price, worse seats.
moving control from resale to the team doesn’t solve market pricing. it just hides it.
browsing tickets for the Celtics vs Knicks home opener and look at this
359: listings for sale
6: listings the seller can send you right now
the other 353 are IOUs. 98% of the “tickets listed” and the only way to know is a toggle buried in the filters
they show up exactly like real listings. same seat map, same fees, same prices
so you might get your tickets today, tomorrow, or 6 hours before tip-off.
or they never deliverand get “replaced”
or there are no replacements and you’re SOL
it’s a digital good. instant delivery shouldn’t be a premium filter
