do you think it’s the championship gold or garden classic design

Tonight's Bears-Patriots game is officially worth more than 2x Allbirds ($BIRD). Soldier Field market cap est.: 100s: 24K seats × $1,224 = $29.4M 200s: 11.5K × $929 = $10.7M 300s/400s: 26K × $901 = $23.4M TNF Pats vs Bears: ~$63.5M $BIRD: ~$24M 61,500 tickets for a 4-hour IRL experience vs. 8.7M shares of ownership in a public company Data via @xpticket + TicketData

SHEESH $700 get in price for Pats vs Bears TNF after sitting just under $400 for past few months.. (chart via TicketData)

with the postponement of last night’s game, guardians could theoretically clinch the series in game 4 without it being a sweep. thats gotta be a first for a 7 game playoff series right?

i am officially a washed up sneakerhead

fans want fun ways to buy tickets @xpticket will make tickets fun again

RIP baja blast 🪦🪦

ticket shrinkflation! Rangers Pass launched last month at $150/mo for lower bowl when demand was soft after back to back disappointing seasons. team starts hot, November pass becomes “lower and upper bowl.” same price, worse seats. moving control from resale to the team doesn’t solve market pricing. it just hides it.

i can finally close some tabs

nobody in the DC resale fight is actually on the fans’ side: → the law prevents dynamic pricing on secondary but not primary - shifting power from millions of fans, brokers, and marketplaces and handing it all to one company → resale sites have to disclose the original price. only the primary knows it, and isn't required to share it → marketplaces arguing in court they’d lose money at a 10% fee, on a digital good that can be instantly transferred with no shipping costs every one of these traces back to the problem that fans don’t actually own their tickets. ticketnews.com/2026/10/dc-re…

imagine buying a share of apple and it not showing up because the guy three trades before you forgot to send it. that’s how live event tickets work in 2026. resale tickets often don’t go straight from the original buyer to the person going to the show. for big events they get sold multiple times (usually on a broker to broker marketplace) before landing on stubhub, seatgeek, xp, etc. where the fan attending the concert or game finally buys them. the catch is delayed delivery. buyer A buys off ticketmaster and sells to B, promising delivery by 48 hours before the event. so B can only promise C the same. and C can only promise D the same. so the ticket never moves when it’s sold. it sits with A for months. then hours before the event, it has to go A → B → C → D → fan, with every buyer receiving it, checking it, moving it into their account and sending it on. one person asleep, one account locked, one email missed, and the whole chain stalls. the fan’s refreshing their app at the gate, and every buyer downstream is scrambling. the problem isn’t that it sold four times (liquid markets are good!). it’s that sales and delivery are disconnected, so a digital ticket turns into a manual relay race hours before the show.

Delayed delivery really is a plague on the live event industry that we’ve accepted as normal. Buying a ticket and getting it should be the same moment.
