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 a disgusting raping of consumers, who save their hard earned money for some enjoyment in life. I hope every single fan boycotts your agency..."
"I buy *MANY* tickets for various types of shows all around my area. If your plans go through, I will end ALL association with your company and will encourage all of my friends, collegues, family, and acquaintances to do the same."
"Ticketmaster has rightfully earned their nickname TicketBastard. The "convenience" charges conveniently can add another $10 to the price of a ticket. There was over an $11 charge for the Summer Sanitarium tickets and I just paid a $7.50 charge for Buzzfes"
"I don't believe this is fair. People with more money might not be their biggest fans but can afford to sit up closer than some of their true bigger fans."
"This whole ordeal is sad. I spend alot of money a year on tickets and for this to be legal and deprive me of going to see my favorite band for the price of my life is ridiculous. I am a college student who has to work for her own money, this is an outr"
"I feel what you're doing is downright WRONG. I hope your plans change! "
"Your company is a monopoly. How you are allowed to get away with this, I can't understand. There will soon come a time when, like Microsoft, you push it too far."
"I urge you to reconsider your plans. You are basically screwing all of your loyal consumers!"
"Although I appreciate the capitalistic approach, this is rather absurd. A seat has a price. The fact that you are not on the street corcer does not omit your responsibility."
"Decided to take on the scalping business by becoming the scalpers yourseleves?"
"None"
"Aren't $10 - $15 per ticket service charges, handling fees, & shipping enough?!"
"I hope that artists realize that some of their biggest fans are not the most wealthy people on earth. Alienating their largest fan pool would be detrimental to their business."
"It's not fair to sell tickets to the highest bidder. Its about the music not money."
"It would suck if some of the fans can't go to a concert because the tickets are too expensive!"
"It's already hard enough to get good seats with all the scalpers. Making them go to "the highest bidder" only puts more money in ticketmaster's pocket, not better seats in fans hands."
"This is an outrage!!!"
"We pay those massive fees along with the ticket price. I think that if we pay for the tickets we should have first dibs at the seats. If they auction off the tickets people that do not even like the band may get them. Someone is a little money hungry."
"KEEP TICKET PRICES DOWN!!!"
"Isn't it bad enough how much you gouge for "service fees" that you add to each ticket. This is deplorable! Pearl Jam had the right idea of selling their own tickets."
"Ticketmaster is a plague to the music industry."
"If some people cant afford the good seats at twice or more there value, they are out of luck.I am in that boat. Make it fair for all. Online bidding on concert tickets is the same as steeling music from the bands on line. Ticketmaster makes all the money,"
"rediculous"
" Please do not start the auction, who has that kind of time and money????"
"This does sound like ticket scalping. The only reason you are doing this is to make a lot of money which is not fair. I think enough money is made off the ticket sales. If this is done then a lot of people wil not be going to concerts. But I guess you"
