Fuck you. You are nothing more than glorified scalpers.  How can you sleep at night?

I don't understand it either.  A show I really wanted to see sold out in about 10 minutes this morning.  I then find hundreds of these tickets on these sites for about 5-6x face value.

I heard that ticketmaster funnels a certain number of tickets from each show to a subsidiary company that they own and jack up the price.

and even if your lucky enough to get the ticket before its "sold out" then you get to pay their "convenience" fee and a shipping fee and probably some other fee that I can't remember.

:freshwtf:

Ran into that the other day, it was cheaper to get tickets at the venue than it was to get discounted pre-sale tix+service fee. That's not how it is supposed to be.

Stubhub is the devil. My parents and aunt and uncle wanted to go see a concert a few months ago and tasked me to getting the tickets. Well I accidentally reset the waiting line page and got fucked.

Instead of $50 tickets I had to go through stubhub at $150 a piece, and much worse seats.

I hated it so much. It wasn't my money and I wasn't even going to the show, but they had already booked a hotel and planned out a few winery tours before the show.

Fucking legal ticket scalpers. Bullshit, complete bullshit!

It's fuckin legal scalping. Fortunately most of the shows i've seen were relatively low key, so no need for paying overblown prices.

Fuck all of those ticket websites. I've had good luck going to shows and just seeing what happens lately though. It's shitty if you want to see a big name but I figure it just makes me go to more local shows so it's not too bad, I like local shows. I went to see Rush in Allentown, PA and got a ticket for about half price though a few months back :awesome:

My major gripe with TicketMaster is that I can't pick which fucking seat I want to sit in.

At least with LiveNation or StubHub, I can see exactly where I'm going to be sitting-- on a map-- before I say, "OK, I want to pay an exorbitant amount for these seats here."

With TicketMaster, you have to let it choose the cheapest or the best or whatever.
It's like, "I'll fucking decide which seats are the best here..."

All they would need to do to eliminate scalpers is require ID and your name on the ticket, or you otherwise could opt for Will Call if you don't know right away who you are bringing.  I too am royally pissed at ticket scalping sites.  I wish they would implement a measure like this.

Seriously I dont see why people buy tickets on-line. It's not like you cant wander around the parking lot looking for people who have extras they want to get rid of (and NOT scalpers) Im talking about people whose friends legitimately didnt make it that will let them go for half price.

I go to a ton of local shows, I live in the self-proclaimed music capital of the world.  But we have a lot of big names that roll through town that I hate to miss out on.

Seriously, why use a broker?

I grew up getting tickets from scalpers with my dad and we never paid face, much less above for anything.

I go to a ton of Chicago Cubs games, which are perpetually sold out, and I've never paid face for anything.

If you're even remotely intelligent it should be possible to get into any venue for less than the listed amount.
