The episode highlights persistent concerns over Ticketmaster’s reliability despite refunds and artist make‑goods.

Overview

  • Ticketmaster said it fully refunded those affected and issued gift cards, noting the problem involved fewer than 0.6% of tickets sold.
  • Raye apologized on social media and offered the 65 fans complimentary tickets to any future show plus a signed vinyl, with her team set to contact them.
