The LA mayor stuff is the dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard & makes no sense. Dem establishment/Bass wanted Pratt, not Raman, to advance. Bass crushes Pratt in a 1-on-1 by 18 pt, while Raman beat Bass by 4. Pratt's the rarity in LA less popular than the unpopular Bass!

I don't post on the hellsite but this is important. You don't need a conspiracy theory to explain LA city results. 1) LA County counts the votes, not LA city. Different government and people. 2) Younger, left, progressive voters vote much later than GOP and base Dem voters 1/x

People love to criticize California politics, most of it fair and square. But here is one thing the state has consistently gotten right: It is very hard to buy the governor's office. Steyer: $200M Whitman: $140M Checchi: $40M Huffington: $25M Poizner: $25M Harman, Fiorina and others: $5M each? Almost all their own money. Did I miss anyone? They all lost. And most very badly.

As important. He’s from Petaluma, CA and went to the same elementary school as me. Congrats Kane!

I have the eBay answer. Windorphins. And the presentation from 2006. IYKYK

Very few downsides to getting to know the CEOs of your competitors - They could buy you someday, or vice-versa - Deesclates later tensions - Helps you focus on the bigger prize - Share a little, learn a little

More likely the price reflects the current / true value of the company. There is little doubt that the World Cup and Olympics in the US will be huge catalysts but investors pay for growth and cash flows. And the business definitely doesn’t have price to pull as a growth lever with its developing brand situation. Unfortunately, the business doesn’t have much positive momentum but making StubHub a boogie man is fun but not what’s going on in reality.

Not many care about the game as much as Coach Close … couldn’t be happier for her!! Congrats @UCLAWBB

Hard not to love that @UCLAWBB team. Congrats. Westwood back on the hoops map. Such a dominate performance.

This would NOT be good for the "Prediction Markets" companies.

There should be 96 teams in the World Cup finals. 🇮🇹

Absolutely nothing to see here.

I am not as negative on ticketing platforms as most, but what’s crazy yesterday StubHub shared that $1.8 billion worth of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour tickets were sold on their platform in 2023 and 2024! There were 150 tour dates so>$10M per show. It was more than 10% of their sales in total over those two years. Can easily assume that globally Swifties spent close to $5B on tickets for the tour!

In 2007 the NFL tried to trademark "The Big Game" so it could force businesses to pay a licensing fee for using it in Super Bowl-related promotions. Cal and Stanford said, "not so fast," and the NFL backed down. sfgate.com/sports/article/NF…

Hey. Look at this!

Agree

The way @jefffluhr tells the @StubHub story is how I remember it from @eBay side. It’s a travesty for Jeff and rest of his team from 2000 to 2007 to not be part of public history of the business now being retold in their IPO S-1. Shame on those involved. linkedin.com/posts/jefffluhr…
