Taylor Swift SoFi ticket prices are dropping

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:26 GMT

Taylor Swift’s historic run of six shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood is officially sold out, but there are thousands of tickets still available on the resale market. And prices appear to be going down, at least for some sections.Many “nosebleed” seats in the 500 level for Thursday’s opening night were listed in the $400 range as of Wednesday morning on Vivid Seats and StubHub - two of the most popular ticket exchange platforms.On Tuesday, 500-level tickets were significantly higher - in the mid-to-upper $600s and $700s.Obviously, tickets get more expensive as you get closer to the stage. Seats in SoFi’s 400, 300, 200 and 100 levels, and on the floor, generally ranged from $500 to nearly $7,000 on Wednesday, before fees.Taylor Swift performs onstage for the opening night of "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at State Farm Stadium on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona.

‘Unmovable’ jurors say they are deadlocked over whether San Jose State’s athletic trainer guilty of inappropriately touching athletes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:26 GMT

SAN JOSE – On the second day of deliberations, the jury deciding the fate of San Jose State’s former athletic trainer accused of sexually assaulting female athletes during treatment sessions told the judge it is deadlocked on at least some of the counts.“We are deadlocked with at least one, and quite likely more, unmovable jurors on each side (guilty vs. not guilty,)” a jury wrote in a note to the judge Tuesday. “What do we do now?”“Continue your deliberations,” U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman responded.By Wednesday morning, the eight women and four men were back in the jury room, reviewing testimony of one athlete in particular, a former soccer player who said that in 2019 Scott Shaw inappropriately touched her breast when he tucked her t-shirt under her bra and dragged his hands along the side of her breasts to treat a shoulder injury, and cupped her buttocks with his hands when he was placing a stimulation pad.The jury foreman requested testimony of a second former athlet...

Pac-12 survival: The downside risks, potential benefits and missing pieces within an Apple deal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:26 GMT

Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff presented a media rights contract to the schools on Tuesday, with nothing less than the future of the century-old conference at stake.Details are sparse as the presidents and athletic directors digest the proposal, save for an ESPN report indicating Kliavkoff’s plan featured a heavy presence on Apple and a revenue structure that tied cash to subscriptions.Our reaction …1. Any chance to link arms with the richest, most influential, most innovative, savviest, smartest company in the world is something the Pac-12 should seriously consider, especially when that company is rapidly expanding its portfolio of sports properties and positioned to dominate the sports media landscape in the near future. But in this case, the details mean everything.2. The lean into streaming comes as no surprise. Kliavkoff signaled his strategy 18 months ago, telling a sports media podcast: “Whatever deal we do, it’s my goal to have our content available on any ...

Three more ex-employees accuse Lizzo of ‘abuse of power,’ praise the dancers who are suing the singer

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:26 GMT

Just hours after three former backup dancers for pop star Lizzo filed lawsuit against the singer Tuesday, accusing her of sexual harassment, fat shaming and creating a hostile work environment, three more former colleagues have come forward to say they witnessed or experienced mistreatment.The female former colleagues include another backup dancer for Lizzo and a filmmaker hired to make a documentary about the singer, who said she left the project after two weeks because she “was treated with such disrespect” and “witnessed how self-centered, arrogant and unkind she is.”“I felt gaslit and was deeply hurt, but I’ve healed,” filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison said on Instagram about the singer. “Reading these reports made me realize how dangerous a situation it was. This kind of abuse of power happens far too often. Much love and support to the dancers.”The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court by three dancers, Arian...

MLB trade deadline analysis: Evaluating SF Giants’ moves, state of NL playoff race

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:26 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants prize pitch selection in their hitters; if it’s not something they can drive, lay off.At the trade deadline, Farhan Zaidi didn’t get anything in his hot zone.He laid off, stayed back and let other teams take their hacks. Inevitably, there will be some home runs. There will also be a lot of whiffs. (This is modern baseball, after all.)“Looking at the landscape of the National League, even post-trade deadline, I don’t really see a seismic shift,” Zaidi said Tuesday. “If the goal is to do something, we could’ve traded half our farm system for a fifth starter. Somebody would’ve happily agreed to that deal. But we didn’t do something just because there was nothing that made sense.”It wasn’t a particularly active trade market, especially in the National League, and to call the Giants one of the deadline’s losers — at The Athletic, Jim Bowden gave them a ‘D’ grade and called their lack of activity ...

Lake Tahoe foot-fondling suspect arrested in Merced County

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:26 GMT

A month after women at a Lake Tahoe resort reported that they awoke to find a stranger fondling their feet, a Merced County man has been accused of the crime.The intrusions were reported on July 2 and July 3 by two women staying separately at Club Wyndham South Shore, in Zephyr Cove, Nev., the Douglas County sheriff’s office said. Each woman said she woke up around 4:30 a.m. because a man was sitting on her bed and rubbing her feet. When the victim woke up, the fondler fled through a exterior sliding door.Both units were on the ground floor, and it is thought that the sliding doors had been left unlocked.Unspecified forensic evidence led sheriff’s investigators to suspect a 26-year-old man from Atwater, Calif.  On contacting law enforcement officers in Merced County, they learned that the man had been suspected there of crimes including trespassing and theft of women’s shoes.On Tuesday, Aug. 1, the man was arrested at his home. He was booked into Merced County Jail...

Cases of leprosy rising in Florida, new report shows

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:26 GMT

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted in a new Emerging Infectious Diseases report on Tuesday that cases of leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, are rising in Florida.The infectious disease primarily affects the skin and nervous system and can be easy to treat if caught early.Leprosy has been historically uncommon in the United States, but has more than doubled in the South over the last 10 years. Research discussed in the CDC’s August issue of the Emerging Infectious Diseases notes that Central Florida has accounted for 81% of reported cases in the state and almost one-fifth of reported cases nationwide. They believe Central Florida might be an endemic location for the disease.Because Florida, particularly Central Florida, has an increasing number of cases, the author of the case report is recommending that physicians, when treating patients with symptoms of leprosy, ask them if they have traveled to or lived in Florida.According to the National Hansen’s Dis...
