Barkley proposes price caps and one-ball lottery to curb NBA tanking

Charles Barkley offered several anti-tanking proposals: block price hikes for teams below .500, award every lottery team a single ping-pong ball to ensure equal draft odds, and remove protected draft picks so trades can’t shield top picks, a package he argues would incentivize winning and reduce lottery manipulation.

Live Nation's ticket demand stays strong as antitrust suit looms

Live Nation posted 2025 revenue of $25.2 billion and a more than 50% jump in operating profit, driven by high live-music demand and big tours (e.g., Bruno Mars, Harry Styles), with 159 million fans attending last year. Early 2026 ticket sales are robust (about 67 million), signaling another year of double-digit operating income, even as the company faces a US Department of Justice monopoly lawsuit that could reshape the live-music industry amid ongoing scrutiny of high fees.

Bruno Mars Concert Tickets Hit Wallet-Shock Prices in 2026

Bruno Mars ticket prices are surging to roughly $500–$2,000 on Ticketmaster, sparking fan backlash. The piece argues the spike isn’t just Ticketmaster’s fault: artists now rely mainly on touring income as streaming payouts remain small and record labels take a cut. Higher venue costs, labor, gas, and inflation all contribute to the final price, with dynamic pricing amplifying costs when demand spikes. While some artists have intervened to curb resale, overall fans may need bigger budgets for live shows.
