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 is ABSOLUTELY thievery at it's best!!!!!! Shame on you!!!!!"
"I think it's wrong to do this. Rich people who don't even care will end up with the best seats, while true fans will be stuck in the nosebleeds. In my opinion this equates to scalping and may even be illegal in some states."
"like the guy said the band's biggest fans deserve the best seats not the band's richest fans! this isn't fair! i think this madness shouldn't take place!"
"Boooo Ticketmaster!!!"
"This is so uncool"
"THIS IS AN ABSURD WAY TO DO BUSINESS AND I BELEIVE THAT ANY ARTISTS WHO CARE ABOUT THEIR FANS WILL AGREE!!!!!"
"I purchase tickets from ticketmaster very often, and consider myself a loyal customer to you. It is offensive to think that a bidding war would rob fans of their chance to see live music and artists due to ticketmaster greed. Please do not devistate the m"
"This is an outrage. The biggest fans are not always the richest ones. What were you thinking when you came up with this!"
"This idea stinks! Not everyone can afford to outprice somebody for a ticket."
"I do not feel this is right and it keeps fans from getting afordable front row seats. The money also does not go to the stars that are putting their life and soul into entertaining the fans. Why should ticketmaster reap benefits off the stars?"
"I think that idea stinks!"
"This policy is discrimination. It favors the rich. This is price gouging and I certainly will not stand for it!!! So Ticketmaster wants to become corporate scalpers. That's a BS policy and should never be implemented."
"What you are doing is wrong. Many people will never be able to attend a concert again if you sell tickets through auction. Please reconsider. Eddie Vedder... who knew?!"
"If true, you seem to believe only rich people deserve good seats. Either that, or someone should mortgage their house, maybe, to attend a concert? I think this tactic might backfire..."
"I don't think this is right. Some people who are the biggest fans might not be able to go because they wouldn't have the money to pay the highest bid. This is really a stupid idea. If EBay wants to do it then they let them, but i don't see a lot of people"
"this is ridiculous!!! I have been in line at 5 in the morning and still been offered 17th row seats when I was the first person in line at a ticketmaster outlet. I have gotten on line at 10 and gotten first row....you never know with ticketmaster...The f"
"this is crap!shame on you for doing this"
"Another evil monopoly that must be stopped!"
"Ticketmaster does not have free reign"
"I truley hope that this is all a joke!!! When did "the customer" tirn into "the buck"???? "
"This is just plain ridiculous. Ticket prices are high enough without Ticketmaster taking advantage of their position. This way no one will ever get lucky and just get a good seat. The good seats should be sold for face value to the artisit's fans not to r"
"Come on...give us a break!!!!"
"This is the worst thing that I have ever heard of. I happen to be someone who camps out to get good tickets at a FAIR price. Instead of sticking it to the real fans you should think about putting the no broker and scalpers out of business instead of hur"
"Don't you already make enough money with your fees you charge? Give me a break! I could see MAYBE auctioning tickets and the proceeds going to charities, but for the pure profit of Ticketmaster? NO WAY!"
"I feel this is unfair as are the overly high service charges TM charges. I avoid TM shows unless it's my very favorite artist and I have no choice. Just because you call yourselves Ticket MASTER doesn't mean you have to treat the ticket buying public like"
