### **Ticketmaster Transfer Outage**

Fans reported that they were unable to transfer **Ticketmaster** tickets to multiple events last Friday and Saturday. One customer posted a screenshot showing Ticketmaster displaying **“Transfer Unavailable”** and telling the recipient, “Unfortunately, Transfer is not available at the moment. Please try again later.”

The dozens of effected events ranged from **Harry Styles** in NYC to **Bruno Mars** at California's SoFi Stadium. The ticketer [acknowledged](https://www.ticketnews.com/2026/10/ticketmaster-transfer-problems-october-2/?ref=hypebot.com) the transfer backlog which appeared to clear by late Saturday.

Ticket resellers were quick to pounce with their cleverly named **Coalition for Ticket Fairness** calling the incident the "clear consequence of allowing one company’s unprecedented control over live event ticketing."

### **SeatGeek launches predictive Tour IQ**

SeatGeek has launched [TourIQ](https://seatgeek.com/blog/introducing-touriq?ref=hypebot.com), a predictive intelligence product built for the people who book and price live shows. 

TourIQ is designed to help a promoter or venue know that an event is worth at any building, for any artist, on any date before it is booked and calculate the apporpriate price for each seat.

Here's a quick SeatGeek TourIQ demo:
