Hey Sea, I know you’ve no interest in Harry. But what’s going on with his tickets? Apparently fans are livid that despite paying $1000+ for tickets to see him in NYC - now, days before the shows 100s OR 1000s of better seat tickets are being released. The shows are all posted as being sold out - but they are clearly not? How can HSHQ get away with scalping his fans. What will it take for fans to see that he has ZERO respect for them?

I just checked Ticketmaster (Harry’s official ticket sales site) and apparently they are selling tickets for all his upcoming shows.

DR/TL: I think Harry deliberately held back a percentage of premium tickets to drive up initial demand, in order to secure the highest prices.

Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing algorithm determines ticket prices through the ratio of ticket availability : audience demand. The fewer tickets are available compared to the # of people wanting to buy them (at the exact time they click “purchase”), the higher the prices.

So holding back premium tickets -> fewer tickets available -> higher initial prices.

Harry can still claim that his shows were “sold out” because all the tickets available were sold (to fans, secondary sales sites, scalpers etc.).

However, this strategy is Ticketmaster and the artist knowing how the algorithm works and deliberately gaming the system to extort higher ticket prices from audiences. It isn’t, as Irving Azoff said in justifying dynamic pricing, protecting the artist from scalpers. It’s the artists becoming scalpers THEMSELVES, creating that additional profit by hiding information from fans.

Irving Azoff’s quote from 2009:

At the All Things Digital Conference, Ticketmaster CEO Irving Azoff proclaimed, “We haven’t done enough dynamic pricing for tickets, and we should, and that will help make people happy.” Mr. Azoff is right, dynamic pricing is the key to pricing for profits and growth in the rock concert industry. [emphasis mine]

The challenges of setting concert ticket prices come down to two key issues: (1) uncertainty and (2) properly scaling the house (setting the right price for different seats).

(Azoff certainly found the right artist and the right fanbase for executing this plan.)

A second part of Harry’s deceitful strategy involves creating new seating areas to already sold-out concerts. Earlier this year, many fans found out that their front-row seats were no longer front-row, as new seating sections were added between their seats and the stage, so that the premium prices they paid no longer put them close to Harry. Again, the tickets (some of which were sold in 2019) were initially sold for higher prices with dynamic pricing according to their relative scarcity compared to audience demand, but then the artist pulled a bait and switch on the fans.

Obviously this strategy can only sell a limited number of extra tickets, because you can’t create a lot of extra seats out of a finite space.

Therefore, Harry decided to do a variation of the same strategy— not by creating extra seats, but by holding back blocks of tickets.

This isn’t illegal - yet. Artists have always had the prerogative of leaving sections of concert seating unsold. Usually they save it for family or friends, or for VIP invitations. But using this privilege to extort concert audiences is a new low-> not illegal but definitely unethical.

Addendum: Artists holding back tickets is old news.

However, a 2016 probe by the New York Attorney General's Office found that the reason tickets appear to sell out so quickly is because the vast majority of them are withheld from the general public. In fact, among the top concerts performed at New York venues between 2012 and 2015, the investigation found less than 25% of the tickets were released to the general public in an initial on-sale.

“Ticketing is a fixed game,” then-N.Y. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a statement accompanying his report.

In one example, the AG's report noted that only 1,600 tickets — less than 15% of all seats to the show — were released to the general public for a July 24, 2014 Katy Perry concert at Barclays Center.

"The average fan has no chance of buying tickets at face value," one New Yorker wrote in a complaint to the AG's office. "This is a disgrace."

However, this is much more insidious when combined with dynamic pricing, as Harry did.

I just…want a ticket to the 9/3 show so I can be in the same room with @indiaalphawhiskey and @myfineline and there is NO REASON these tickets should be platinums at this point I fucking hate Ticketmaster and I hate people enabling this madness.

If anyone happens to be selling a ticket for 9/3 for non-platinum face value HMU.

it seems crazy for Harry to do 15 shows at Madison Square Garden. Who does he think is going to go? I'll be shocked if even half of them are even near to sell outs. Maybe it's cheaper to do it this way so he doesn't have to sell out to make a buck?

I'm honestly not sure if you're joking or if you're genuinely oblivious to the absolute carnage on Ticketmaster today? Or the 500k+ predictions for Harry's House sales in the US this week?

It's a huge number of shows, no doubt, but no longer seems crazy to me. Harry and his team are unlikely to be worried about who is going to want to go 😁

#you know he completely sold out 5 shows at MSG last October right? #why would you be shocked if 7 or 8 shows would be close to sold out in Sept? #msg residency #love on tour
