@MissMausoleum @MCRmy2k19 yeah, I mean the odds of actually succeeding against a giant corporation are frustratingly slim. Especially when they're making so much money off of these shady practices, we probably won't even reach them but I still want to do everything I can as one citizen
@MissMausoleum @MCRmy2k19 the way that it's virtually a monopoly is also unacceptable, pricing wouldn't be so big of an issue if we had multiple sites to choose from, but when they own enough of the industry to give performers no choice but to go through them it's wildly unethical
@MissMausoleum @MCRmy2k19 the BBB has an article on their website about how to file a complaint https://t.co/LkaIlwL477 but it may also be worth writing to senator Blumenthal, who previously helped in a lawsuit against ticketmaster
Still blowing my mind that they did us like this. Iโve been saying that ticketmaster was shit for a long time but they broke a lot of emo hearts today. ๐ค
It is a two-way relationship between Ticketmaster and their clients to determine the parameters of ticket volume, prices, etc.
From Ticketmasterโs website on how prices and fees are determined:
Something needs to be done about Ticketmaster and their pricing. I understand supply and demand, but as the first point of sale, Ticketmaster shouldnโt be able to monopolize ticket sales like this.
$804 for a floor GA from Ticketmaster 20 minutes after they went on sale?
Sickening to hear all those stories about fans who got their first jobs so they could afford concert tickets, and to know that ticketmaster's dynamic pricing, and how tm enables scalping, has very likely stopped them from getting them. #StopTicketmaster#ticketmasterisoverparty
ticketmaster: MCR wants everyone to have an equal chance at getting tickets so hereโs a queue with no ticket transfers.
also ticketmaster: excuse us while we allow every bot snatch tickets right out of your cart and put them up for resale for double the price.
