@ScottDKushner This line of thinking is why the smoothie center is always empty. Build a sustained winner and you’ll have fans every year. Only go after shiny toys and you might have one good year where you get some play in money and then you’re screwed again.
@forcemm@TicketTalkNet@fanoftheband1@intixassoc@joinseatclub@BlueDotFlu The problem is if you don’t know market value the price you set will be incorrect. So if you overprice tickets in a closed market, fans get screwed. If you underprice them, people with an advantage will capitalize on it for profit.
@forcemm@TicketTalkNet@fanoftheband1@intixassoc@joinseatclub@BlueDotFlu I don’t have true numbers on either of those things. From my point of view, both a reseller and a fan, promoters are having trouble pin pointing true market value on their acts. And instead of dealing with some resellers, they’re to trying to get every last dollar from the fans
@forcemm@TicketTalkNet@fanoftheband1@intixassoc@joinseatclub@BlueDotFlu If you’re convincing artists that “scalpers” are the issue their attendance is low and not the over sized venues you’re booking and the outrageous prices you’re setting, I’ll have to respect your skills at being disingenuous even more.
@forcemm@fanoftheband1@TicketTalkNet@intixassoc@joinseatclub Comparing tickets to blood diamonds is quite the stretch. If I buy tickets on secondary sites it’s almost always (though not 100%) for less money than the face value of the ticket. As a fan, I benefit
@forcemm@fanoftheband1@TicketTalkNet@intixassoc@joinseatclub I dont have any tools to get tickets faster than other people. I think people that use bots or game the system in anyway should be banned. But fans should have the ability to resell their tickets if they buy them in non nefarious ways and your reason for wanting to limit it is $$
