Politicians are lobbied by ticket companies, it's why you'll often see them at big gigs/sports events.
The biggest "legal" seller of tickets was able to act as a tout today, with total immunity from the law.
It's not free market capitalism, it's touting, protected.
How @LiveNation / @TicketmasterIre haven't been pulled into the Dáil to explain themselves is beyond me. This 'dynamic pricing' in a monopoly they hold surely goes against everything the @CCPCIreland supposedly stands for? #Oasis#Ticketmaster
Really keen to try and get someone at @ManUtd or @MU_Foundation to get this message to Kobbie, so any shares or retweets would be much appreciated. Sadly my Father (Vincent Killeen) lost his brave battle against cancer yesterday. The last game we watched together was the Wolves game, just the two of us in his hospital room. When Wolves equalised we were both so frustrated. I have never willed United to score more than that moment and then Kobbie Mainoo steps up with an amazing winner. Seeing Dads arm in the air, a smile on his face and declaring “that’s why you watch United”. When he saw that you were doing an interview, he insisted that I stay so he could listen. I know football should be about winning trophies, but you will never score a more important goal for our family Kobbie. You are already a hero in our household and you are now my 7 year olds favourite player. Thank you for a truly brilliant and special moment. I am sure your career will bring many of them.
The Killeen Family ❤️
@FreeNow_IE wiping everyone's vouchers and remaining silent shows their Marketing team is worse than their Tech team! What an opportunity missed to capitalise on the whole country talking about your brand #FreeNow
@SunnyVista300 Absolutely not. Many people come to this country and regardless of colour, nation, religion or creed they contribute and make Ireland a better place. The problem isn't immigration, the problem is when it's not controlled or vetted.
Tomorrow they'll be on the scooters, hoods up with their stolen air max thinking they actually did something except cause more problems for decent people. Well at least they can have a lie in after busy night of carnage with no jobs to get up for.
@CriticalRedPen What a ridiculously ignorant and racist comment. Completely unhelpful and trying to stir up more division. @IrelandAMVMTV I hope you reconsider the kind of people that are representing your show.
My thoughts today are with the victims of random violence across Ireland this week. In particular the family of the American tourist who is critical in Beaumount and was beaten up in Dublin City only meters from the country’s biggest Garda station. The current Government, Minster for Justice and previous Ministers for Justice have allowed the Garda numbers to decline in a growing and more dangerous population. It’s sad that so many women and men say they would not go out at night in any major city in Ireland because it’s not safe. You can not increase a population rapidly, reduce policing and expect it to remain safe. If the Minister for justice is incapable of focusing on reducing crime like this and making our streets safe, she should resign or is she still too busy talking about laws the stop us hurting peoples feelings and pandering to NGOs.
@Costellop what a brain dead moron. Yeah let's celebrate a day where a minority on this island proclaim their hatred of everything Irish and burn effigies that force people to flee their homes and counties. Feel embarrassed Northern nationalists have to listen to this bullshit.
