Travis Scott reportedly couldn’t share his phone records with lawyers acting in the ‘Astroworld’ case after it was claimed the phone had fallen into the sea.During a performance during Scott and Live Nation’s Astroworld festival on November 5 2021, thousands were left injured when a crowd surged towards the front of the stage during Scott’s headline performance.10 people were killed by compressive asphyxiation during the show — with victims aged between age nine and 27.At the time, Scott said that the tragedy had left him “devastated” but didn’t realise quite how severe the events were until he left the stage. Following the incident, thousands of plaintiffs came forward, asking for what tallied to be billions of dollars in potential damages.As per Rolling Stone, those coming forward with claims have cited several allegations including poor planning from festival organisers and a lack of security as contributing to the crowd rush.
Live Nation and Scott have previously denied the claims.While a grand jury in Texas decided that the rapper would not face charges back in June, civil lawsuits filed by multiple victims still remain active in Texas state courts. Scott’s lawyer Kent Schaffer said in June that the decision to not indict Scott had come as “a great relief” to his client (via BBC).Schaffer confirmed in a statement that the jury had met, but chose not to indict his client.
He also denied any wrongdoing from the rapper. “He never encouraged people to do anything that resulted in other people being hurt,” he said.
“Travis is not responsible. Bringing criminal charges against him will not ease [the victim’s] pain.”Earlier this week, Scott faced further questions over the festival in Houston – something his lawyer deemed

Travis Scott shows are currently available for unusually low prices after scalpers reportedly overestimated demand.Back in August, the rapper announced the ‘Circus Maximus’ tour – his first headline run of the United States since the 2021 Astroworld tragedy.However, according to independent tech publication 404 Media, overbuying of face value tickets due to inaccurate forecasts of resale demand has led to prices tanking on the ticket marketplace StubHub.At the time of publishing, a listing for Scott’s Raleigh, North Carolina show on October 13 showed tickets on sale for as low as $14 (£11.43), compared to a $61.50 (£53.20) face value price.Re-sale prices for shows appear to go up in price as the tour goes on.A post shared by flame (@travisscott)According to writer Jason Koebler, part of the rush to buy tickets was fuelled by a bet placed by PFS Buyers Club, a site where members are “offered exclusive deals to earn money for helping us source limited edition items”, according to the website.Koebler reported that PFS itself could lose more than $1million (£816,815), while members, who were allegedly told they’d get reimbursed along with a $25 (£20.42) commission per ticket, are said to be floating tens of thousands of dollars on their credit cards.Issues surrounding ticket pricing and scalping have come to the fore once again in recent months, in part due to huge world tours by the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.A new ‘Taylor Swift law’ was introduced to address ticket scalping in Brazil after the singer announced international dates for her ‘Eras’ tour back in June.It came after numerous Swift fans joined forces to organise a campaign against Ticketmaster following the recent controversy surrounding the recent ‘Eras’
