"This isn't fair!! The good tickets shouldn't go to the highest bidder!! Then a lot of us would never get good seats!!"
"This is crazy. Ticket prices are high enough and you have alreay priced some concert goes out of the market with out of sight service fees. You are a ticket service, what the set price is for seats you what you should get for the seats. When is enough goi"
"I just think this whole idea is outrageous. "
"how can people who love certain performers afford tickets if you sell to highest bidder and not go broke "
"Bidding on tickets is the most stupid thing that I have heard and read about.Shame on you for being so greedy.It will be only the rich that will be able to buy them.There is no way that any artist will fill any arena if you have your way"
"This is outrageous!!! It's already nearly next to impossible to get good seats now. This would make it even more of an impossibility for the average person who cannot afford to pay an unreasonable amount of money to go to a concert."
"This is simply not a good idea!"
"Just crap, that's my two cents about this situation, its wrong. It should not be about the money. I dont have the money to bid so high just to get good seats. I think it should be first come first serve to get the tickets. I dont want someone who just"
"Thats really isn't fair to to kids and adults that can't afford to bid up to hundreds of dollars for a concert ticket. Please keep the ticket prices down and let people buy them with out having to bid. Or people will start going to other sites and buying "
"I fail to understand how Ticketmaster has avoided an anti-trust lawsuit thusfar. They are worst than Microsoft."
"Not that many tics are sold on ebay that it would affect a company as big as ticketmaster. It would be scalping ,as it is for the people who sell them there now."
"I really hope that this does not happen"
"This is the most ridiclous thing I've heard. It is illegal for us as individuals to do it why should you be allowed to do it. Our the artist going to get the money or are you? Those stars work hard to allow their fans to see their shows by keeping price"
"Go back to the way you had it"
"I do not support TicketMaster's plans to auction tickets to the highest online bidder. This is an elitis move and will widen the gap between the haves and the have nots. A big step backward for the USA society."
"I have used TicketMaster twice this year, I am new to the concert world, but plan on attending more concerts in the future and would like to continue to use TicketMaster to purchase my tickets, however, the action listed above would make it impossible for"
"big mistake!"
"How dare you....do you believe this is fair to the average working person???? Do you believe that the richest fans deserve more than the average person???? This is ridiculuos."
"This is the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard of!!!! If we concert goers wanted to pay exhorbitant prices for "best available seats", we would buy them from a scalper. We have always looked to ticketmaster as our avenue for buying the best seats ava"
"let the bands give the best seats to their biggest fans, not the ones who have the most money!!!"
"This has got to stop! Capitalism is one thing -- this is ridiculous! There's more to a concert for a TRUE fan than you can imagine! Putting tickets out of reach of the common folks to whom a concert by their favorite artist is a real treat is just outrage"
"The Fleecing of America must be stopped. Economics you say... And yes even I have a MBA and believe it is wrong."
"Only the performer and venue should have the right to set prices. Resellers must be restricted to that price as is the lawin many states. Scalping is scalping no matter who is behind it."
"this is ridiculous!"
"This is not right!! "
