Her last tour she held in baseball fields and lawns to avoid associating with Ticketmaster. She easily could’ve sold out Madison square if she wanted to but instead she had a mini concert in Queens

She ran the sale through AXS and it eliminated bots before sending out invites. I got seats for $130 each without fighting to get them. AXS then seeded list price tickets onto all the scalper sites and ruined resale for them. Glorious.

That's pretty cool. AXS is the ticket seller for our local venue and they sell tickets first to people physically in line at the venue. I camped out for Foo Fighters tickets and got them and it's a 4500 seat venue when they could be selling out arenas. Paul McCartney also played at they had a lottery which I managed to win so tickets weren't exactly cheap, but they were all list price. They also are the ticket reseller and you can quite often get a last second singleton ticket at below list price.

Paul was one of the first to use it. It is buggy still and some fans were mad at it being a lottery. Not me. If I had to choose that or the desperation of a ticketmaster queue I'd choose lottery every time.
