Some resale tickets were being offered for several times their original value, prompting a wave of frustration online. Dean herself stepped in, calling out Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and AEG for what she described as \u201ca disgusting service,\u201d arguing that fans shouldn\u2019t be priced out of seeing live music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the backlash, Ticketmaster activated its \u201cFace Value Exchange\u201d for the tour. This means resold tickets on the official platform cannot exceed their original price, effectively blocking scalpers from profiting off demand. The company also pledged to refund fans who had already purchased resale tickets at inflated prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spokesperson for Live Nation said the decision was part of a wider effort to keep live events accessible and fair, adding that the company hopes other resale marketplaces will follow their lead. While Ticketmaster can\u2019t impose face-value caps on third-party websites, it encouraged them to adopt similar limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move comes as public frustration around ticketing practices continues to grow, with many artists and fans calling for stronger protections against scalping and price gouging. For Olivia Dean\u2019s fans, at least, the policy change should help level the playing field and ensure more people can see her perform without facing inflated costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.routenote.com\">Distribute your music for FREE with RouteNote!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Olivia Dean called out \u201cdisgusting\u201d ticket prices, Ticketmaster stepped in with major changes.
