Ticketmaster Caps Olivia Dean Resale Prices at Face Value After Fan Backlash

The move follows Olivia Dean’s public rebuke over steep markups during a rapid sellout of her 2026 arena dates.

Overview

  • Ticketmaster said a viral presale price of about $753 was a typo, corrected it to $53.45 all-in, and issued automatic refunds for the difference.
  • Fans shared screenshots of virtual queues in the tens of thousands and verified resale listings running several hundred dollars above face value, with some reports near $800–$900.
  • Dean called Ticketmaster, Live Nation and AEG a “disgusting service,” said her team is investigating, and warned fans to avoid likely scams in comment sections.
  • In response, Ticketmaster announced it will cap resale for Dean’s shows at face value on its platform and urged other marketplaces to adopt the same limit.
  • Live Nation, AEG and AXS were reported to have disabled resale for some concerts, as high demand led to fast sellouts and additional dates being added.
