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 »
"Hopefully they will not be able to this. "
"No auctioning of tickets"
"This is outrageous. Just another way for Ticketmaster to screw us."
"correct ur current problems before venturing on to something else that wouldnt be fair to the true music fans and not the vultures!"
"Robbery!!!!!! I will not support this in any way shape or form, In fact if you choose to do this I will NEVER buy a ticket to a TM show again. I wll also enlist all my friends in this effort. Be Aware!!!!!"
"We already are subject to "convenience" charges, handling charges and in some cases, building use fees. Please don't drive the everyday working person to debt just to have the opportunity to see their favorite artist."
"i don't think its right for ticketmaster to consider auctioning for tickets. sometimes the biggest fans aren't the richest."
"This will hurt the fans who are most dedicated, but do not have the most money!!!"
"As an individual who sees 75 - 100 shows a year, I am disgusted over this potential practice. I plan my days around on-sale dates and have never paid a ticket broker for a ticket. If I didn't suceed thru normal channels, I bought my ticket for face valu"
"Please don't make front row seats unaccessable to most fans by doing this. It is unfair to those who work hard but don't make much money. It is a hardship on people with families. Judy "
"All I can say is that it's not fair that those of us who have to struggle and work our butts off just to be able to afford tickets at the current price may now have an even harder time getting a decent seat. Those who say "Oh, if people are willing to pay"
"You know,if Ticketmaster did this, I would not get to go to shows for the fact that my job doesn't pay well. I pay for my seat and compete with the best of them when they go online. Doing this would totally not allow me to go to any concerts!!"
"You are robbing those who cannot afford to see those who they listen to music for comfort and therapy and just for fun. You are robbing people of memories and those who perform of the feeling of acheivement that they can only get by "seeing" the excitemen"
"It's already difficult enough to get tickets, I think it's time we offered tickets to the fans, and not to corporations only."
"IT IS A HORRIBLE THING TO KNOW YOU CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO EVEN ATTEND A CONCERT IF THE ABOVE IS TRUE. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH TROUBLE GETTING DECENT TICKETS IN THE PAST WITHOUT THEIS COMPLICATION THROWN IN."
"Please give all the fans a chance to get tickets at a fair price. If you do this I think you will lose many concert goers buying from your site. They will just go to independent ticket sellers."
"I DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD DO THIS, I THINK SINCE WE ARE WILLING TO PAY A PRETTY PRICE FOR THESE TICKETS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REMAIN ABLE TO PURCHASE GOOD SEATS!!!"
"Money hungry bottom feeders is what Ticketmaster is"
"Don't punish the true music fans! "
"This is SCALPING!"
"When will the scalping end?"
"It would be a tragedy not only for the true fans, but also for the performers if the audience was filled with only the rich people who didn't give a crap about the music...but were only there for the status of attending.... "

"i dont agree with this. it is unfair to be able to sell tickets like that online."
"Would someone just throw John Pleasants in jail?"
