Stealing Back the Scalpers' Playbook with Randy Nichols
Today we have a fascinating conversation with Randy Nichols, artist manager and CEO of Force Media Management. Randy's been at the forefront of attempting to figure out the ticketing strategy math, especially the scalper side of the equation. We hear about his dive into the cold hard data, scalper chat rooms, and that time he sent someone undercover to the Ticket Scalpers Convention. We also talk about the allure of the "super fan" and why that is… baloney. Also we get into merch, and the general state of live music today.
