The music world has been buzzing about the high cost of ticket prices for major tours like Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen. Ticket scalping has become a major issue, with some states passing laws to combat the practice. However, Texas is not one of those states. Ticketmaster’s monopoly on the ticket industry, along with their merger with Live Nation, has led to complex issues surrounding ticket sales and pricing. Some artists, like Tyler Childers, are implementing strict measures to combat scalping, such as requiring the original ticket buyer to enter the concert with specific identification. Despite these challenges, there are still many exciting concerts coming up in 2025, including an AC/DC America tour. Other events include acts like Pearl Jam, Chris LeDoux, Carolyn Wonderland, and Zach Bryan. In addition, there are legal disputes involving artists like Kellie Pickler and personal issues involving Wynonna Judd’s daughter. The local live music scene is also vibrant with numerous shows happening in the city. With these exciting events ahead, music fans are encouraged to be cautious when purchasing tickets online and to support live music in their community.
