Ticketmaster, despite its claims, heavily favors ticket scalpers during the “verified fan” concert ticket presales. Many fans are upset and confused about the ticket buying process for Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts Tour. Scalpers, who are experienced in navigating Ticketmaster’s buying process, have an advantage over average fans who only occasionally try to buy tickets. Scalpers use multiple Ticketmaster accounts, purchased phone numbers for verification, and specialized browsers to increase their chances of purchasing tickets. They even sell tickets that they don’t currently possess or that are not yet on sale. This ongoing struggle between Ticketmaster and scalpers continues to leave fans disappointed.
