Tickets went on sale at 10 AM central time this morning for all shows

Log on at 9:30 to get into the queue and Was waiting for 30 minutes this morning in the queue for 2 tickets to go see a few shows … when it became my time to buy tickets, it was completely sold out, of course

Gotta love the bots that these ticket agents use to buy all the tickets before they go on sale to the public and sell them again for triple the face value

How this is NOT illegal is beyond me

Totally frustrating. I feel ya.

That is why the price is insane for even the mid shows.

My daughter wanted to see one of the disney kids shows............and they were going for over 300.

WTH?

they allow tickets to be bought by bots (Ticketmaster gets fees)

Then they allow those tickets to be resold at a high price (Ticketmaster gets fees again)

they have no incentive to stop it, they actually have incentive to let even more go to Stubhub and to be resold on Ticketmaster

It’s all such a fricking scam and it’s honestly made live music and events not even fun anymore.

Eddie Vedder tried to warn us about the evils of Tickemaster but it’s just too bad we couldn’t understand him…

you can line up and do it the old fashioned way

I can promise you if people stopped going and stopped paying, this shite would go away with a quickness. The end consumers in this country have turned into a mouth breathing retards. It's happened with vehicles, video games and systems, and just so many damn things lately. People just cannot control themselves with spending money, and everything his being hiked up because of it.

Ehhh, Seat Geek has Brad Paisley club level seats at $100. And 500 level for $16. Last weekend Friday night (usually biggest crowd/ticket) Journey show is about twice that.

But still, frick Ticketmaster.

I mean for what its worth, most of the 100 and 300 level are season ticket holders and then there was a volunteer presale earlier this week that gobbles up a good bit of the tickets.

Simple solution. Join a committee and get a badge. All shows are then free.


Or do what I may or may not have done and borrow a badge.

Just buy the day of. It's uncomfortable, but I've sold $1200 worth of tickets to a concert for $300 for the pair.

I’m glad I don’t give two shits about going to a concert for shitty live music, purchasing the tickets looks to be a quagmire.

A large percentage of these inflated resale tickets are held back by TM, the venue and the artist. Not individuals, not bots.

TM is the devil.
