Ticketmaster's botched pricing has left fans reeling after Olivia Dean's TD Garden show tickets were listed at an absurd $753. The price, which is 14 times the actual ticket cost of $53, was reportedly a result of a typo by the ticketing giant.
Fans took to social media to express their outrage and frustration with Ticketmaster, calling out the company for its "insane prices" and "disgusting service." Some fans were even left in line at number 24,161 after attempting to buy tickets. The incident has sparked renewed criticism of Ticketmaster's practices, which have a history of causing chaos during ticket sales.
The controversy was further amplified when Olivia Dean herself spoke out against the company, labeling its pricing practices as "vile" and calling for more affordable and accessible live music experiences.
Ticketmaster has since apologized and handed out refunds to affected fans. However, the incident highlights ongoing issues with ticketing companies and their ability to handle high demand and protect consumers from exploitation. As one fan noted on social media, "Raise ur hand if ur not seeing Olivia Dean next year."
The TD Garden show is part of Dean's The Art Of Loving Live tour and has already sold out. With this incident, fans can only hope that the singer-songwriter will prioritize their well-being and ensure a smooth experience for everyone who attends her concert.
It remains to be seen how Ticketmaster will address these issues moving forward, but one thing is clear: the company must do better to protect its customers from such egregious price hikes.

can u even imagine buying tix at 14 times the actual cost?! 
i feel so bad for those fans who got taken advantage of... ticketmaster's gonna have some serious explaining to do now 
. and olivia dean speaking out against them is total boss 
, she should def be the one getting a cut of that price hike 
. and u know what? this just proves ticketmaster needs a major overhaul 
. can't have fans getting exploited like that... gotta make live music more accessible for everyone 
I'm literally dying over here... like, what even is $753 for a concert ticket?! 
That's just ridiculous! But at the same time, like, can we blame Ticketmaster? I mean, they're not gonna sit around twiddling their thumbs waiting for fans to figure out the typo 
. And Olivia Dean's right, though - it is kinda vile that fans have to deal with this nonsense.
. It's just a matter of being more vigilant and stuff.
? But at the same time... like, don't we owe it to ourselves to be prepared for the worst-case scenario when buying tickets online 
they're already hyped for olivia dean's concert and now they have to deal with this crazy prices that are way off what the actual ticket cost is 
it's like, can't we just have a smooth online experience without all the drama and stress? 
especially when the artist herself is speaking out against ticketmaster's pricing practices... it's like, thanks for calling them out olivia! 
and to ticketmaster, sorry not sorry doesn't cut it, you need to step up your game and make sure this kind of thing never happens again 
i mean, 14 times the actual ticket cost is just ridiculous... what if these fans were low-income or students? they wouldn't be able to afford those prices. anyway, good on olivia for speaking out against them and calling for more affordable concerts 
now let's hope ticketmaster takes this as an opportunity to improve their services and not screw it up again 
Ticketmaster needs 2 get its act together!!! 
A price like $753 for a show that costs only $53? 
Fans r already stressed out enough during concert sales, and then u hit us w/ a price that's 14 times the actual cost?! 
I'm all 4 affordable concerts & fair pricing 
.
, but I trust Olivia Dean to do the right thing & give her fans a great show! 
Fingers crossed 4 a smooth concert experience 
, can you imagine having to shell out almost 800 bucks just for a concert ticket? It's wild how one little typo can turn into this much chaos 
. I mean, what even is the point of Ticketmaster's system if it can't even handle a simple price adjustment right 
.
. We want everything to be fast and easy, even if it means sacrificing some of our rights or being taken advantage of 
.
, but seriously, Ticketmaster needs to step up their game 
or we'll keep seeing these kinds of issues 
.
... $753? that's wild imagine being in line for 24 hours for those prices 
need better system in place 
also, olivia dean speaking out is awesome 
instead of getting outraged & frustrated, let's take a deep breath & try to see the bigger picture 
and maybe even learn from ticketmaster's mistakes so they can do better next time
