This looks like an effort to break the secondary ticket market. Even with crazy high prices, a many early ticket sales were likely to brokers and amateur scalpers. The first show is in May. With a reverse auction, TS will still sell out the shows while seriously hurting those who bought tickets intending to re-sell them for a profit.
Why can’t she do multiple shows at each venue for less money per tix? Would sell out all shows.
More fans get to see her and she doesn’t have to travel every night.....................
