Ticketmaster

The Knicks' October 20th home opener against LeBron and the 76ers starts at thirteen hundred dollars on StubHub, and it tops out over thirty-six grand.

Ticketmaster's verified resale prices for the same game run as high as fifty-two thousand dollars, and it's not even just the home opener, as the Knicks' Christmas Day rematch with the Spurs, the team they beat for the title, ranks among the top three games in the entire league for ticket demand.

And on the road, a quarter of ticket buyers for Knicks away games are coming from New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut.

That's up twenty-one percent from a year ago.

Just to make it look fucking like people are actually at the game.

Well, I'm on Ticketmaster now.

Do you wanna wait till you get to the Roosters-Sharks? 'Cause you got a few more notes.

Yeah, yeah.

So we've got a resolution at the end, so, um-

I'm on Ticketmaster.

Oh, yeah

I, we'll go through the actual data-

You can grab some tickets for the October 10 event.

They're on sale via Ticketmaster.

It is a big happy birthday to the Premier, Chris Minns.

Chris Minns is celebrating a birthday today.

And it's because the booking agency knows that they can make way more money by putting these three or four bands together, but it crowds it out so that there's no room for the locals.

So in that model where, you know, of course, Live Nation Ticketmaster wants that because it's they know what's on the menu.

They know what they're getting for each stop and it's just easier for them.

But it doesn't really help build up that scene and that network of touring together of like, hey, this is the band we played with in Berklee.

This was to like I was end of twenty twenty four.

We showed up to a

venue and discovered that it was a Ticketmaster venue, and it wasn't when we booked the tour.

And that changes everything for those that don't know.

one, you know, queue trying to, trying to ding, ding, ding.

Um, people will be scalping seats on Ticketmaster before it's all said and done.

But, um, Yeah.

So just be prepared for that.

Yeah.

Mike, before you contribute, I'm on the Ticketmaster site

now.

They've not opened the upper deck for this game

What about this time around? Is anything changing for the fans at Much of a Muchness?

Yeah 100% I mean I would encourage anyone who's missed out on Warriors tickets on Saturday to pivot and get to Ticketmaster and get your tickets to Spark Arena on Sunday afternoon instead of going to the Warriors come to the Breakers and you know really experience what it's like for those that have never been it'll be an experience like no other and you know for us we've got a few tricks up our sleeve in game one and And certainly our events team have got some really good product to be able to roll out there for this game as well.

So not only will the basketball be good, everything around it's going to be great as well.

Up against Hawks Sunday afternoon.

So this is one of my favorite questions, which is what business are you in? Because you've mentioned, we've talked about sports, we've talked about entertainment, and now we're talking about brand partnerships and culture and lifestyle.

So, and then I, and then I wanted to ask you about like the tickets, like, cause you, you've also got experience at Ticketmaster.

So you're also in the ticketing and the membership business.

So what, what business are you in?

And, you know, that's a kind of lifestyle, as you know, that doesn't happen.

Like, I mean, Ticketmaster's figured out tickets for everything.

And Augusta knows how to make sure that everybody gets a fair shot.

So back then it was a little different.
