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 will surely hurt the artists and ticket sales."
"Ticket prices have been increasing way too much without the addition of ticketmaster trying to auction off tickets."
"Just another example of the rich getting richer so-to-speak. This is just NOT fair at all! What about us people who would NEVER be able to afford this??? I honestly think doing this will come back and bite you where it hurts the most - YOUR POCKETBOOK!"
"Concert tickets are already overpriced. This move is totally unfair to the average music fan; sooner or later you're going to put yourselves out of business!!"
"This is crazy!! The fans can barely afford the music, let alone the concerts."
"I must say that if Ticketmaster goes through with this I will not buy ANY tickets through them. "
"I go to alot of concerts and I think that people should continue to have the right to be able to buy what ever ticket they want at a set price. "
"It is really unfair to keep those TRUE fans from buying the best seats at regular prices. We won't be able to get the seats we really want just because we do not have a lot of money. I really hope a lot of artists do not choose to do this."
"This is very unfair to the fans of the artists. Many of us could not attend concerts because we could not afford to pay such outrageous prices for a ticket. Reconsider and do not do this to the ones that have purchased many tickets from you. "
"I wholeheartedly agree with the above statement. It is already extremely difficlut to get a good seat at a top name show. This will make it impossible for the average concert goer to get a good seat. With what it could do to ticket prices in general it ma"
"i think this is bs most of the tickets to concerts are outragous enough on there own without this happening.i dont know how any artist could allow this to happen because if it weren't for us fans they wouldnt have a job...so while they're tring to get mor"
"prices are getting ridicuously high that many of the big fans cant afford to even go. so now its just a bunch of rich people who arent as big of fans....not cool"
"This isn't fair."
"I just wish that you could think of something other than revenue. "
"Scalping is wrong. "
"One more money-grubbing plan, just what we need."
"With the method of selling the best seats that Ticketmaster would be proposing to use, the true fans would never get to see their favorites up close and personal. I could only hope that all major artists would refuse to sell their tickets through the unf"
"I think that this is a terrible, terrible idea. As a working mother, I can barely afford to go to my favorite concerts now, and if you make the sky's the limit for ticket prices, I WON'T be able to go. Please consider your loyal customers feelings on th"
"In my mind, this should be illegal, just as much as trying to sell tickets for high prices on the street is illegal. I am against this."
"this is insane... you should be working on ways to stop ticket brokers from being able to buy tickets... not screwing the fans!!!"
"Stop the maddness"
"This will make it so that only people with a lot of money can attend shows. What about people like me, who works my tail off everyday, so that I can go to a show?"
"Doing this would make it virtually impossible for many of us to attend any concerts, let alone the number that we now do. Please reconsider"
"Sir, You would be surprised as to how much of an increase in sales you would have if ticket prices were lowered to a more affordable price. Just like the compact disc, sales will decrease and the fans will find other options and alternatives. Thank you"
"We are against auctioning off tickets."
