![]() What really bothers me, though, is that companies like ticketmaster are legally allowed to buy mass quantities of tickets they have no intention of using, and sell them at a profit. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s still an inconvenience overall, of course. How many people who actually intend to go to a show buy tickets and wind up selling them to someone else? If anything, they should be able to get a little more money in their own pockets by selling directly to the market that is willing to pay inflated prices. But the people that would’ve bought them from the scalpers would still be looking to buy from the original source. Yeah, he lost me on that… OK, so they lose the re-sale market (ie scalpers). To me it’s way sad and I don’t even consider TM or there ” sister sites” at all know matter who is coming to town ,if artists and sports events had the balls to sell there own flippen tickets then I will go I mean it is the computer age people but they all want a pimp (TM)to give us the screw like we’r so stupid we cant figure out that it’s the artists and there managers fault we get screwed! How do you like your favorite band or team now!!!? $$$$$$$ Now you know whats at the end of every argument regarding TicketMaster and why they get away with screwing us, they are paid to. its owned by just one single man ,some Goldberg guy or something like that.may-be we should dig up some dirt on him like in Hollywood ha-ha ,that will give some due attention to the prick!.Ticket Master is a bag of sh$^t in my opinion and just to make us feel better they have half a dozen “sister sites” to go threw if you get mad at TM you can still buy from them only they will call the outlet something else to make us feel better ,its a monopoly guys and the entertainment industry is in bed with that Goldberg clown or whatever his name is to get every dollar they can out of us. you will loos as they have been doing this crap fore a long time. Ticketmaster is just one of the worlds most brazen scam company’s of the century,mostly because event managers and artists get more of your cash than with a straight deal also because know one will hold them accountable they give (some)of there illgotten’s back to the performers or whoever so money talks and we walk. Remove that and you lower the value of the ticket, meaning fewer people willing to buy those tickets at existing prices.įiled Under: convenience, paperless tickets Part of the value of the ticket is its resale value. Of course, Ticketmaster may find that this backfires on them. Instead, as noted in the comments to Cox’s post, it appears to really be about cutting out the resale market. This doesn’t sound particularly convenient. ![]() Also, if you bought multiple tickets everyone has to be there at the same time to get in and of course, you can no longer resell your tickets. Furthermore, to get into the event, you now have to present both the credit card you used to make the purchase and a photo ID - meaning that rather than just handing over a ticket, you need to hand over two separate cards, which then need to be scanned into a machine, slowing down the whole process. Of course, most will call lines only matter if you didn’t order in time to get tickets sent to you. The so-called “convenience” is because ticketbuyers supposedly won’t have to wait on a will call line to pick up tickets that were ordered. Tue, Jun 24th 2008 03:10am - Mike MasnickĪn interesting post from Braden Cox talks about how Ticketmaster’s new “paperless ticket” initiative, which Ticketmaster claims is all about making the experience convenient for event ticket buyers, isn’t at all convenient compared to traditional ticket buying methods.
