Once tickets are sold, they should immediately be transferred to the buyer so there’s none of “these are more valuable now so let me cancel the order & resell them at a higher price.”

[@tacobell1299]

How is this even legal? I feel like this isn't legal for them to do if you already payed.

[@raihan652]

atleast ABC&NY helped them to get tickets

[@lalolmv7125]

Sellers are willing to cancel sales to apply the price gauging. This is a common practice they use for profit. Concerts and events tickets should be regulated like every other products to avoid price gauging.

Imagine all the people getting screwed by StubHub and Ticketmaster that is not covered by the news outlets. Government needs to get involved. This is extortion by these corporations.

[@pappadudat]

The government is and doesn't care

[@jonasvalero]

StubHub trying to save face lol.

[@SwifTie4EvEr977]

I feel really sorry for them

[@rlrudedog]

We have a person working for a local TV station who does this called "Help Me Hailey". It is so amazing these companies can do nothing until they are put on the spot plus have like a TV station or radio station get involved. Then wham that company can solve the problem they created.

Good for you Nina!

[@harryyarrow4110]

Thanks for helping Taylor's fans.🧡💜💛

how can tickets dissapear

[@Mel-jl8dt]

Honestly they should go back to send printed tickets instead of the onlune nonsense

[@yehhshhs]

So why they didnt get their money back??

[@nomoniker7917]

The teenage girl next door to me was arrested by the police & FBI for selling her baby for tickets to this show. She was screaming in the street being taken away, "I DONT CARE WOULD DO IT AGAIN LOVE YOU TAYLOR F U ALL OF YOU", her mother was crying. It was terrible. Never saw anything like that.

[@blackout07blue]

Definitely never happened.

[@nomoniker7917]

EXCUSE ME, but it did happen, I was there. Just cause it didnt make the news doesnt mean it didnt happen. The insanity behind the ticket prices has been big news currently, people arent acting sanely about it all, thats why we're commenting on this video, hello? Im not posting video taken of this sick girl's arrest, I have some morals.

[@Rckstrroma5]

HAHAHAAHAA

[@jackiep594]

Sure Jan

[@nomoniker7917]

@ Jackie P Sure Jan? Who are you talking to? You dont have to believe anything. My teenage neighbor is facing "Child Trafficking" charges, its actually serious. Her family is trying to reach out to Taylor Swift for some assistance.

[@roberthouston3809]

I think this is a great ways for the little girls to learn about capitalism

[@IAM.YMG.SWAGG_B]

She want free tickets 😂

[@user-ip5yk8pf2i]

We know how she makes her money.

[@jhariette]

Stub hub sucks!!!!!

[@Bizkitpookie]

Yeah that was the most underwhelming response to them getting better tickets I would've flipped out if it was someone I liked I don't care about Taylor and it'd so sad that they just care about this much about one girl that's really small and far away when u do get to see her and u can't even hear her bc everyone won't shut up I'd never go to a teen concert they too annoying

[@spencerbean7555]

1200 for 2 tickets what cheap
