Ticketmaster found itself at the center of considerable confusion when listings relating to music star Ariana Grande mistakenly appeared on its platform. Allegedly indicating 15 events for Grande's supposed 2025 tour, the appearance of these listings prematurely ignited fan excitement across the web. This has since been clarified, putting to rest the rumors of an imminent concert series by the pop sensation.

In other news, Ticketmaster is also the ticketing choice for SummerSalt's concert series in Busselton. Expected to feature an all-star lineup of Australian artists, tickets for this much-anticipated event were slated to go on sale starting December 18, as per information from the event's official site.

Additionally, Ticketmaster has been a topic in broader discussions involving the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has revisited what is often referred to as the "Magna Carta of Small Business." The FTC's actions are part of a wider scrutiny of the middleman economy, potentially influenced by ongoing antitrust suits, such as the one that involves musician Kid Rock. This case and others underscore the increasing governmental and public concern about the role firms like Ticketmaster play in the pricing and availability of entertainment and sporting tickets.
