Ticketmaster cancels tout tickets to Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘The Unraveled Tour’, and fans can now get them at face value

NME · 3 hours ago

Ticketmaster announced it has recovered tickets from secondary resellers for Olivia Rodrigo's upcoming world tour and is redistributing them to fans at their original prices. Fans can request access to these recovered tickets immediately through Ticketmaster's website, with applications closing within the next 24 hours, and the platform plans to release additional discounted tickets beginning in September.

The move addresses a growing industry problem as ticket scalping and resale markets have become increasingly contentious. Regulators and artists have pushed back against secondary resale platforms, with the UK government attempting to introduce price caps on resale tickets and other performers including Robert Smith of The Cure taking similar action. Secondary sellers have faced regulatory scrutiny and fines, though legislative efforts to formally restrict resale pricing remain stalled.
