Ticket resellers

How do you guys feel about them? I hope StubHub and Vivid seats burn to the ground. Then I hope a bunch of animals go crap on their ashes. I don't want anyone to die just for everyone to lose their jobs permanently and then Congress say it was karma and ban any companies from popping up.

I fail to distinguish between ticket resellers and those who buy from other retailers to resell, no matter the product. Do you have a problem with gas stations, they resell what is sold to distributors? How about liquor and beer, those go through distributors too?
Do you have a beef with Goodwill Stores? Amvets Stores? Hell, they take donations and sell them.
Ticket scalpers/resellers are just entrepreneurs taking an under priced good and grabbing the resell value in profit.

So you are okay with companies buying up seats and then turning around jacking up prices. Im gonna go buy out all of Chick filet sammiches one day and then jack up the prices by 10 bucks each and sell some decent fries with them in the parking lot. Im gonna lay a bunch of poor kids to stand in line and give them a portion of the profit

Ticketmaster is the distributor. To resale alcohol you have to have a license. There is a reason some bands sell direct to the people wanting to go... And that is to prevent shitbirds from reselling. These frickers aren't planning to use the tickets they are just trying to make a quick buck.

i think reselling operations should be required to purchase bulk tickets 24 hours after tickets are made available to the public
they should NOT in any way be allowed to buy up the prized seats before the public gets at least 24 hours to buy them first, after that have at it.
the only issue i have is if the public gets hosed out of the chance to buy the good seats before the resellers get to them

Im okay with someone sling their seats at the event or to another party just not electronically. There are people setting up shops in India so when the waiting room becomed available at 1am they are paying some 12 year old in India to login and purchase the ticket and then put it up for resale on stubhub

These are all awful comparisons. Fuel doesn't work the way you're currently arguing most of the time, and liquor goes through distributors mostly due to tax laws.

Someone just bought out Stubhub
Will be interesting to see how it changes

There are ways to prevent it. You could charge the purchasers a fee if the tickets don't get scanned and used. You could allow the ticket purchasers to send back tickets if they aren't going to be used so they don't have to pay the penalty and then those become available at the original price. Through the original distributor. Ticket gouging used to be against the law.

The venue and artist don't care how the tickets are sold as long as they are paid.

Gotta love that $15 printing fee for an electronic ticket

Some do, Nine Inch Nails made you buy physical tickets at the venue in person with cash a couple of years ago.

What’s your issue with the sites since you didn’t expand upon that...

You think the bands aren't in the re-sell game? Most don't give a shite about the fans as much as they do maximizing profits. Every band gets a ticket allocation and most post them on StubHub for inflated prices. This is done often in cahoots with the promoter.
Van Halen got outed for doing this very thing and it was netting them something like an extra $200-$250K per show.

No, it's just that your OP seemed like some old man's incoherent rant. I had to read it a few times to figure out what in the hell you were talking about.

Only poors complain about service fees.
Thanks for letting us know about your financial situation.

I signed on to purchase tickets before they went onsale. Ticketmaster limits the number of people "inline" to buy tickets. 2 minutes pass by so I start checking Stubhub to see what prices were going at from a resale value and they were 6 times the original price and everything sold out before I was able to purchase my tickets. roughly 15% of the tickets were on stubhub in a 6000 seat venue within 15 minutes with prices anywhere from 2x to 6x the original price. I might be able to get some day of but that ruined a facking date I planned. I guess we can netflix and chill.
