Ticketmaster
To: Ticketmaster CEO and president John Pleasants In a recent news report on CBSNews.com, it was reported that Ticketmaster has plans to later this year begin auctioning off the best concert seats... continue reading »
"This is an outrage!!"
"i hope this plan to auction tickets won't be true"
"THE REAL FANS WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO GET DECENT SEATS TO SEE OUR FAVORITE ARTIST."
"To: Ticketmaster CEO and president John Pleasants. STOP!!!! Please reconsider and abandon your plan to auction off tickets to the highest bidder, this is so unfair to the fans and the artist, It means a lot to the artist to please all of their fans, and I"
"screw you ticketmaster! you know, some people work themselves to get good seats, and having them sell out is bad enough...but seriously, being outbid? theres two places to be out bid and those are 1: in the parking lot and 2: on ebay. ticketmaster is the "
"Ticket scalping is certainly illegal in Missouri, where I live! It's hard enough for some of us, who happen to be some of the biggest country music fans, to afford tickets to see our favorite groups. Let alone if you all start this crap, which is what y"
"this will elimate alot of my concert going"
"Doobie Brothers Fan Club member since 1974"
"Well, well, well, TICKETBASTERDS strike again!!! How money hungry can one company be. Go ahead and try this maybe it will finally lead to your long awaited downfall!!"
"Ticketmaster is just as bad of a monopoly as Microsoft. The service charges nearly double the price of a ticket. Why make live music so expensive for EVERY band...even those who do not bring huge screens and pyro. Stop being so greedy, Ticketmaster...we'r"
"Some of os "true" fans have to save for months just to get tickets at a reasonable price, although some performers prices are too much anyway. This is ticket scalping and needs to be stopped now, before you start"
"keep ticket prices the same as they are now"
"I find it outrageous that you would find yet another way to exclude more of the everyday fan from seeing the artists they love, putting the best seats completely out of reach for them."
"True fans should have the best seats. Not some guy who sits on eBay all day trying to make some extra cash. If this happens, Ticketmaster will hurt the music industry worse than Internet piracy. Why would Ticketmaster even CONSIDER this?? "
"I thought Ticketmaster was a business designed to aid all people in purchasing tickets for events. It's difficult enough, when you're short like me, to get a seat where you can actually see from and now you want to make it where only the rich and tall wil"
"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING OF ?????"
"This is just plum ignorant and ridiculous!!!"
"This is completely outrageous and just plain unfair. I have never ONCE used a scalper or broker for any of my concert tickets and have always had faith in Ticketmaster that I would get the best tickets. I usually did, but there is no way I will be able "
"Please do not do this..."
"I have heard of greed, but this is rediculous! "
"This policy of auctioning seats is unethical. You are merely a middleman in providing a service to customers. You do NOT own the rights to the seats or have the artists authority to gough ticket prices. Artists not a service provider should benefit. "
"I agree that tickets prices be left up to the acts playing and not be auctioned off to the highest bidder. I, for one, cannot afford $1000 a pop to buy a ticket."
" I know that artists are requesting/strongarming more profits from their concerts. I have no more money to give. Lately, I have not been able to attend any concerts, sporting events, or any other event that Ticketmaster is in charge of or related to. This"
"I attend around 50 Rick Springfield shows a year, I will find EVERY available means to not purchase ticketmaster tickets if this new "rip off" goes into effect, at least give us FANs a chance at getting good seats by doing the time camping out and waiting"
"this all boils down to ticket scalping, which is illegal in some states."
