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 »
"That is BS! Absolute BS!!! EVERYONE should have the same right to the great seats regardless of how much money they have! True fans deserve the front... and if Ticketmaster changes anything, it should be the fact that the front section is reserved for "
"This is total bullsh*t, and if being in this exact situation in the Netherlands I would put everything above everything to file a lawsuit with as many other outraged people as possible. Americans involved in this situation should not just sit back and "
"What about the fans who want to see concerts, but can't afford astronomical prices that would result from this bidding process????"
"Outrageous -- guess fans will purchase the CDs instead of going to concerts if they're going to get bad seats."
"I can't believe you would even think of doing something so evil...which is what this would be!"
"Not everyone will be able to afford a high priced concert ticket, and less people will attend concerts. This is robbing the consumer as well as the artists. This is a lose/lose situation! Not the American way!"
"If you do that people like us who actually can afford to go now when we go get to go to the really good concerts we wont be able to. Please dont do that "
"I totally agree!!"
"I think that you should be more conciderate overthe fact that if you make it be a bidding contest...then you may not get as much money as you would if people where to buy them like always...Because the price may be cheaper...but more people can afford it "
"This is sraight up wrong... music lovers of all classes and income should be able to see whatever artist they want to, with a good seat at an affordable price!"
"It's hard enough getting decent tickets to my favorite artist as it is now. This will only hamper the effort and prevent the real fan from getting tickets."
"Please stop your unfair practices, and do not allow tickets to be auctioned off. The current system of allow brokers in some states already limits the choices of the consumer and drives up ticket prices. KEEP MUSIC AFFORDABLE for working people! "
"I would rather stop going to concerts and events than to 'bid' for my ticket. It isn't about higher costs or anything, this is about pure greed. I can appreciate the theory of supply and demand, but highway robbery is just wrong. "
"I think that this is way out of line. They should not be able to do this. Some of us can not afford to pay prices like this."
"This can't be for real, can it??? How can Ticket Master even think of selling tickets this way. It is difficult enough to buy concert tickets. The hackers and scalpers that have found a way to by pass the system and get large blocks of seats to turn aro"
"This is insane. I can barely afford some tickets as it is how will I be able to attend a show paying 10-20 times higher rates? I can't and won't pay those high prices. Therefore, the artist I enjoy seeing will suffer as well as the fans."
"This is not fair to do this. Many people hear about their favorite artist coming to town and are very excited for months before a show. How is it fair to Auction of tickets so people won't be able to afford to go. Sometimes this is how new artist get i"
"I feel that the true fans should get the best seats not the people who have the most money!"
"I can't believe you are even considering this!!! Obviously TicketMaster doesn't care about customers. I buy ALOT of tickets through TicketMaster and will consider not going to any events your company services. Apparently, I am not alone. This would be"
"prices are too high anyway"
"This is criminal to do to the general public. Ticket prices are high enough without adding with this method!"
"I think that is not fair to the real/true fans who support there artist by requesting there song's and starting streat teams, but fans who are not that rich, and therefore end up not being able to see there favourit artist. "
"This plan will make it impossible for fans of a group to have a chance to get the best seats. Many people will not be able to pay "scalper" prices. Once again the consumer will be ripped off. "
"As with every other big corporation, you are more concerned with making money then providing a service to ALL customers."
"I am irate over the fact that you plan to "auction" off the best seats. Guess your not really about the fans but the $$$$$ instead. How sad!"
