The Cure Cancels Thousands of Scalped Tickets for Upcoming Tour
TL;DR Summary
The Cure's Robert Smith has had thousands of scalped tickets canceled and will donate the proceeds to charity. The band used the "Verified Fan" tool and created a fair price range for their tickets, but Ticketmaster's fees were still higher than the face value of the ticket. Smith got Ticketmaster to issue partial refunds to fans for the high cost of the fees. Tickets that ended up in the hands of scalpers will be canceled, and original fees paid on those tickets will be donated to Amnesty International, and the tickets themselves will be resold to fans.
