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!!! "
"This is the worst thing anyone could ever think of for the fans. Big rip off. Don't be surprised if the venues are empty for shows. I will not compete with other fans for seats by bidding on them. It's not right."
"Terrible idea that a fan's worth will be measured by how much they can afford to pay for a ticket. SO the only fans that rate seeing the event up close are the rich ones? Whose idea is this?"
"I have a child who is a huge fan of music, and she's been to lots of concerts in her young life, because I could afford Tickets. Now if you do this I will no longer be able to take her to concerts, no will I be able to go. She's also a huge soccer fan, "
"I think tickmaster is wrong in what they are doing. They are going to make it to where we, the fans, are not going to be able to go to concerts because we on't be able to get good seats, and because we aren't going to have the money."
"Your new little plan is the lamest thing I have heard! I seriously hope that you reconsider your plans as it is the fans who will suffer if you don't. If you decide not to reconsider I really hope that the artists stop using Ticketmaster to sell their t"
"I totally agree with what was said up above...this means that only super rich people can attend these shows and it really is not fair to those who cannot afford such high prices...the singers want to perform to the fans and at this rate probably less than"
"I don't think it is right to AUCTION off tickets to the highest bidder. Someone should not get the BEST seats just because they have alot of money. Besides, there are people out there that get into auctions just to jack up the price for others, but have"
"I think everyone should have the same odds at getting tickets......Leave the ticket prices tiered - it's definitely fair this way."
"loyal fans are not always rich fans"
"This idea sucks!!! This just means the people who make the most money will get the best seats at concerts now instead of the people who are the most devoted fans. Once again the rich people win and the poor people get screwed!! Thanks for nothing, Ticketm"
"I believe this is WRONG.....Tickets should be available to everyone at the same price, not you have good seats IF you can afford to pay an arm and a leg for the good seats....I think this is wrong and someone is just trying to make more money off of innoc"
"With the normal cost of tickets getting higher and higher each year (not to mention the outrageous "ticketmaster fees"), many fans are not able to afford to see their favorite artists at face value let alone get into a bidding war. The music industry is "
"This is so NOT fair!!! There are very devoted fans who will not be able to get good seats to their Entertainer's concert if this happens. Again, this is so NOT fair!!!"
"this is very unfair - "
"I am a very hard working person that will spend my money on good seats for a concert but I am not about to pay for tickets that are beyond my means. Don't do this!!!!"
"It doesn't seem fair to the true fans of artists that may not have thousands of dollars to spend on concert tickets to not even have a chance at getting good seats when we are the ones who truly support artists and what they do!"
"For Ticketmaster to do so puts them on the same level as ticket brokers and scalpers. Ticketmaster put measures in place on their internet ticketing to guard against mass purchase of tickets for profit by a third party; however, it appears to be acceptabl"
"This is insane. Ticketmaster already charges way too much fot the "convenience charge" I already hate using them, and I think this is the worst thing they could do to people."
"You will price many people right out of tickets. "
"I believe this is extremely unfair. Auctioning off tickets is exactly that scalping. "
"ticketmnaster should be banned from seeling tickets to anyone if this is the case start calling the place of the concert.For tickets. "
"This is the most unfair thing I have ever heard of. It is hard enough and the luck of the draw to get good seats as it is. To let them go to the highest bidder is wrong!!!!"
" I think if this were to happen, attendance at concerts would be down because no one could afford to go. It would not only hurt the fans but also the artist. "
"There are some artist that set there ticket price resonable so you don't have to spend 2 paychecks to see them perform. Thats what you guys are tring to do."
