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 sucks. I can't afford to pay through the nose for front row seats. Might as well go to a broker. "
"This is completely unfair to those of us who enjoy going to shows, but cannot afford that kind of money. I agree, ticket master gets plenty of our money!!!!"
"I'm a student. I don't have a money to spend on bidding wars. This new policy would ruin any chance I had of seeing my favorite musicians live. Please reconsider."
"This stinks"
"Another plug for the rich! What will happen is our entertainment is going to go down the drain because most of the people who go to the concerts won't be able to and the artist is going to suffer because normally their greatest fans won't be able to atte"
"With all due respect, this is a ridiculous idea. If it does indeed take effect, I will be forced to boycott Ticketmaster."
"This is an unfair policy, not everyone has a ton of money to spend on concert tickets and I believe that they should still remain first come first serve!!"
"They already screwed me out of 6th row seats once and gave me row AA, right on an audience sidewalk so I wasn't able to get over it thru the show because I had to sneak in my camera and try to take the best pics I could from my seats. If they go thru with"
"Ticket prices are OUTRAGEOUS as it is! Ticketmaster should push for legistlation to control the scalping that goes on on eBay and not hurt the middle class or poor fan that saves to pay the already EXTREMELY high prices for tickets. Only the rich will hav"
"I think this is a disgrace. Come on people....Be forreal!"
"I don't feel this is fair. I would like to see this NOT happen."
"I would stop all together buying tickets from ticketmaster."
"This is just just another form of Money greed. It will hurt the fans in the short run. and the Artists in the long run."
"I would not like to buy by tickets online and not having them because I didn't pay enough. I don't like this idea and not much people will have that much money to pay for their fave celebrity cocerts for the seats they want for maybe even 1000 dollars or "
"This is so unfair to the biggest fans of the band because most of them are not rich enough to keep bidding for the best tickets. You should just keep it the way it is now so anyone can have a good seat at the event."
"This is an absolute outrage. Ticket prices to some concerts are ridiculous enough without adding bidding on. I happen to love going to concerts and I want the best seat but I can not afford it. "
"Tickets are exspensive as it is,and if we bid it will go up to high.This is rediculous!!!!!I am a huge fan of Kenny Chesney's and I exspect to go to more than 3,if that many,because the price will go up to high.If this does'nt stop Kenny might just get hi"
"Hell No, we are just average folk who attend these concerts. I think it is just another advantage for the wealthy. Nonsense!"
"Ticketmaster is wrong and should be stopped!!"
"I think this would be very unfair to ticket buyers. If tickets are sold this way, I would not have a fair chance to purchase a good seat and get to see my favorite bands up close. "
"THE BIGGEST FANS DESERVE THE BEST SEATS! "
"I can't believe Ticketmaster is trying to pull this off! It is completely unfair! It sounds almost monopolistic! Its not right!"
"I think that it is not right to auction off the best seats. It would mean that biggest fans of the artist might not be able to see them in concert, being outbid by the wealthy, who may not even care as much, but were able to pay more."
"It's not in the best interest of the FANS to gouge the prices of event tickets. Please leave well enough alone. I would hate to have to just stay home because I simply refuse to sacrifice a limb to attend a concert or event. I know I am not alone...."
"This is insanity. People who are actual fans of an artist won't be able to go to the show unless they are rich."
