HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The promoter behind Honolulu\u2019s upcoming Journey concert is warning fans after hundreds of concert ticket listings are appearing online.<\/p>\n

The problem: official tickets have yet to go on sale.<\/p>\n

Presale tickets for the Sept. 8 performance are scheduled to go live on Ticketmaster at 9 a.m. Friday, June 26, for Hawaii residents. Tickets open to the general public at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 3.<\/p>\n

Yet, according to promoter Rick Bartalini, more than 676 listings are already advertised on secondary marketplaces, with some seats listed as high as $1,400.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore shows even go on sale, these websites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and GameTime list tickets they don\u2019t even have in hopes that they will get them,\u201d Bartalini explained. \u201cI had a situation with Carrie Underwood where this woman bought four tickets for $9,000 and they didn\u2019t even have the seats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartalini says he\u2019s working with state lawmakers to curb the practice by looking at potential regulations on ticket scalping, similar to Maine.<\/p>\n

The Hawaii State Legislature took its first step with the approval of a task force to examine how ticket scalping impacts Hawaii\u2019s consumers and economy.<\/p>\n

Bartalini said, \u201cWe\u2019re going to meet this summer and get people involved, like consumers and venues and venue operators, and (we\u2019re) going to make recommendations\u201d by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Until then, Bartalini advised fans to stick with the official ticketing provider and avoid purchasing tickets through unauthorized resale marketplaces before tickets are officially released.<\/p>\n
