Fed Up with Ticketmaster

[Elbridge]

Anyone else frustrated with Ticketmaster when it comes to trying to get decent tickets? Did everything to buy pre-sale tickets for the Foo Fighters this morning and nothing but upper seats opposite the stage. Same with Pearl Jam. Do all the good seats get eaten up by Stubhub and the likes?

yes. ticketmaster will dog the brokers publicly but open the on sales to them beforehand in many cases. they just want the shows to sell out and move inventory. it pays the bills, attracts the advertisers, brings in the dough. brokers, aka second hand sellers do just that. capitalism

Paddock up and buy the good tickets from Stubhub. Pretty simple really.

Don't waste your money on shitty concerts. Buy drugs and watch it on the tv

That's pretty much what you have to do to get good seat anymore.

I got my Petra tickets from Seatgeek, the official ticket broker of Cats Illustrated.

Drugs are bad.

But it'll make you feel like you're at the concert

I think everybody has hated ticketmaster since like 2005. What with all the additional charges. Convenience fee, lol.

But to your issue, the days of being first in line to get a good seat are long gone. Used to be the people up front were super fans that sacrificed time and effort to get the good ticket. Now it's just the highest bidder.

The entire market is basically scalpers.
