Singer Olivia Dean publicly criticized Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and AEG Presents over the exorbitant resale prices for her 2026 tour tickets. After tickets went on sale, resale prices soared, with some reaching $800 to $900, prompting Dean to call their service 'disgusting' and against her wishes. She emphasized that live music should be affordable and accessible, urging the industry to find better solutions. Ticketmaster responded by reposting Dean’s message and announced they would cap resale prices at face value on their platform. The company also clarified they had made a pricing typo during the presale, which was corrected with refunds issued. Dean’s tour, which begins in the UK and Europe in April and continues in North America from July to August, has seen high demand, with her songs currently ranking high on Billboard charts. The controversy highlights ongoing issues with ticket scalping and resale practices in the live music industry.
