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 »
"I think it is RIDICULOUS that ticketmaster is trying to do something so outrageous as selling the good seats to the highest bidder and I hope entertainers stop using them if they do this!"
"I hope some artists voice their opposition to this new idea as well. This is a new way to take advantage of the fans, which Ticketmaster already does with all their "convenience" fees."
"This is just an awful thing that you are thinking about doing, especially for a company that I trusted and respected. If this happens I will never do anymore business with you. Think about all the people that couldn't afford tickets. "
"I don't think it's at all right to let people with more money get the best tickets. People that are the biggest fans should be able to have the best seats at a concert. They deserve it a lot more than the people with money."
" I do realize that you have a monopoly on the concert going audience and a few hundred people protesting will not amount to much. But know this I will not use ticketmaster or any parent companies if this practice is used in the future. I have been to 7 co"
"i think it is ridiculous for ticketmaster to do this!!some true fans might not be able to afford good seats & concerts are the closest most people will ever get to their favorite artist & with this i'm sure most peope will not be able to afford good seats"
"I hope that this does not happen. It would be a slap in the face to the true fans."
"This is stupid."
"People should get the tickets on a first come first served basis as it's always been, not on a more money best seat basis."
"This has got to be the stupidest thing I have heard. Why should the rich be the only ones who get good seats at a show?"
"I agree I think TicketMaster is money greedy & theyt always have been! I hope artists do not continue selling there tickets via TM. It will cut alot of true fans out of seeing there favorites. I thought this was a free country? By saying only the rich can"
"This is outrageous! If artists want their loyal fans to attend their shows, the won't use Ticketmaster anymore! This would mean only the wealthy fans get to see them up close."
"I don't like the plan "
"There should be no auction!!!"
"We the undersigned petitioners, would like to make our voices heard and request that you abandon your current plans to rob some true fans of seeing their favorite artist in concert. "
"Remember that the "little" people is what makes bands and musicians. You can't leave us out in the cold!! This is truely unfair and if this happens I will not longer be buying tickets. "
"I thought I'd heard it all 'til I read this new report. If ticketmaster doesn't go back to the regular ticket sales methods, I hope that as many artists as possible will go with a different company."
"I do not feel that this is right. By doing this you will prohibit people from being able to attend concerts by the favorite singers & bands. Seeing how high a ticket(s) will go is what E-bay is for"
"WHAT KIND OF PERSON TAKES SUCH IMPORTANT THINGS AWAY FROM SUCH DERSERVING PEOPLE? "
"This is unfair. Tickets should be the same price for everyone. "
"I am extremely disappointed by Ticketmaster's decision."
"This is so unfair. We are not all filthy rich. If you guys do this, you are going to end up loosing business."
"This is unbelievable and hopefully will not happen !!!!"
"This is the most rediculous thing i've ever heard. Ticketmaster cannot do this to the fans. It's just wrong. If this happens the true fans will NOT get the best seats...the fans with the most money will get the best seats. That is WRONG."
"This is absolutely disgusting! Ticketmaster charges are already through the roof. Recently, I bought a ticket that cost $45, and Ticketmaster added $12 in "service charges" on top of it. Does it really cost $12 to print a piece of paper? And now they want"
