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 »
"Ticketmaster gets enough money as it is from all their dumb charges!! they don't need anymore!!!!!!!"
"Isn't this what Ebay is for?? Let's keep tickets at the prices the artist wants not the prices scalpers want!!! Thanks!"
"This is really sad that everyone is for the money and not for the enjoyment of concerts and entertanment. What has our world come to?"
"The biggest fans should not have to be the richest fans!!!"
"I don't agree with ticket scalping, but I also don't agree with the money that these entetainers and sports people make....its absurd"
"I would just like to say that is is wrong and unfair. It takes away an equal ground that fans have on the chance of getting tickets. Wealthy fans do not equal true or bigger ones."
"DO NOT ALLOW THIS, PLEASE.. I AM AGAINST THIS.. VERY DUMB THING TO DO IF IT HAPPENS! "
"you will be keeping the average hard working person from enjoying a little "me" time why are you being so greedy? isnt tha one of the seven sins?????"
"Do they not realize that the brokers are going to get all the tickets and that's not fair to the fans...the artists (and ticketmaster) should realize that."
"please don't even consider the auction. Tickets should be on a first come first serve basis and not on you pocketbook."
"I can't agree with this petition more...we pay high enough prices as it is to see our favorite artists. No fan should have to pay ten times the amount of the ticket price."
"Please do not implement an "auction" for the best seats. Some of us could never get them then. I was lucky enough to purchase third row seats for the American Idols concert in Houston from you and couldn't have done it under an auction."
"I work very hard at getting the best seats I can for most of the country concerts I go to. If I can't get seats in the first 10 or so rows I usually don't go. I have sometimes bought tickets through other fans selling better seats and once I only bought 1"
"This is wrong! "
"The cost of concerts has skyrocketed over the last ten years to the point that the average concert goer is unable to afford to attend a concert. Attempting to change your service by auctioning them off to the highest bidder will ultimately shut down the s"
"Ticket prices should be the same for everyone. This practice would benefit the richest concert goers and is not fair."
"I don't have the money to bid on tickets. As it is I save up for months, to get front row seats sometimes. So this would mean that poeple like me would never be able to enjoy those seats again!!! "
"This is absolutely crazy and very unheard of and you should be very ashamed! You have definitely lost a customer in me!!!"
"Please do not allow this to happen...IT IS SOOO WRONG!"
" I will not be able to afford the cost that it will cost to go to concerts if ticketmaster has people bid on tickets . This is what in many states isnt even legal to sell above a certain cost , so how is it now legaL for ticketmaster ????? The "
"Please stop the scam. Tickets do not need to be that pricy for good musical entertainment. Let's help our economy get back on its feet."
"its just plain stupid and not fair. why should the people who dont even care one bit about the artists, but have alot of money get the best seats?! there are fans out there who would die for good seats..and now you are taking that chance away from them."
"Even if some tickets to concerts sell for 50 dollars I have never seen them go for over 400.00 on ebay, and besides ebay is an, if I want to pay and can afford to pay that much!! Some of us or most of us can barely pay the 50 or so as it is now--so this w"
"This would be really unfair for international concert-goers as well. Many fans - myself included - have travelled, and are willing to travel far and wide to watch their favourite bands. How would they stand a chance to get tickets in the first place?"
"This really isn't fair, and I hope that Ticketmaster does not go through with this plan."
