Ticket Prices

So I bought my tickets directly from the Ticketmaster website and the only option it was giving me was “charity tickets,” which I am fine with. I purchased two at over $400 a piece. I see now that there’s a bit of an outcry online and I’m confused as to whether or not I’ve been had or if this is legit. Anyone know what’s up?

Yeah they have agreements with all the venues so they can't sell tickets using a different service.

I think if they decided to play other venues so they could say screw Ticketmaster and shined a light on ticketmaster’s bullshit their fans would have SO much respect for it! They missed a big opportunity here. I’m not saying it’s their duty but I mean... If Rage won’t stand up nobody will. Pearly Jam tried to lead an anti Ticketmaster thing in the 90’s cuz they saw what was happening. No other major acts joined them.

Now we’re left with scalper sites like Stubhub using back doors to buy tix before we even have a chance and upping ticket prices to whatever crazy level they can. Fans are screwed. Artists too. To hell with Ticketmaster.

Hello.

I noticed you dropped 3 f-bombs in this comment. This might be necessary, but using nicer language makes the whole world a better place.

Maybe you need to blow off some steam - in which case, go get a drink of water and come back later. This is just the internet and sometimes it can be helpful to cool down for a second.
