@GamblerJam I feel like there was once a half decent principle behind it but now it's turned into a monopoly jerking the price around on you

Individual people selling their tickets for what they can is the free market, the corporation that holds all the cards doing it is different

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

My dad tried to get tickets for Rush at the Sphere and the only tickets left when he got into the lobby were "official platinum" for $1k a piece...

Dynamic pricing should be illegal!! Top price was supposed to be $400 but they can more than double it when in demand? Fuck that

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@itschicagoooo I'm fine with a show selling out when demand is high (as was the case here) and also fine with aftermarket tickets costing whatever supply&demand dictates...

but ticketmaster themselves bonking people for 2.5x face value at the time of the onsale is super wack

@Hristijan___ @WiscoGrant @BlakeWeiner *Casetta 🙈

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@WiscoGrant @Hristijan___ @BlakeWeiner yeah I've eaten at both Cosetta's and Casetta many times, lived half my life in each town

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@WiscoGrant @BlakeWeiner Cosetta's, I recognize their checkered paper 🫡

@ArrakisB86886 @tsunamiseeds @bananapearlsss that's his whole schtick, wowzers duders look at this kewl tech!! Lolz

@DLarrySki @mrbighead77 Flodown I stick around for the intro then go pee

Time to Flee, I pee right away to make it back for the jam

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@mrbighead77 Definitely a bathroom song for me, the core melody is very grating to my ears

It's gotten a little better now that they do an interesting intro but the main part that repeats, I do not like

Registering for the lottery for Billy Strings 5 night St Augustine run next April...

Ticketmaster decides who gets awarded tickets? Nothing shady about that at all

St Augustine Amp rules but Billy is too popular for a destination run in the South with a 4k capacity limit 😰

@georgefloydhigh @wisconsin_now Obama? Bush? Whattaboutism much?

@NorthernContrar @wisconsin_now (from the county not the state, misspoke there)

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@NorthernContrar @wisconsin_now ha

her employer got millions from the state long before either of them were involved

got any other easily refutable dimwitted rightoid propaganda to throw at me?

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@NorthernContrar @wisconsin_now you really don't know anyone who worked full time while going to school? Not a scandal

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@fishinerman @wisconsin_now do you throw around "DEI hire" like an insult in your day to day as well then?

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@Xennady @wisconsin_now Good news for you, in 2020 our state GOP did a big expensive hearing + investigation into election fraud and turned up nothing, zero, zilch

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@NorthernContrar @wisconsin_now can you do basic math? A 4.5M error in a 1.5B budget is .3%. It's like if you spent $1000 a day and tweaked out over a $3 error

And for the record - holding down a full time job while going through school is called "a good work ethic"

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@WIPolack @wisconsin_now paying for twitter is an IQ test, you failed

[Midwest Matt @mtthffmn]

@georgefloydhigh @wisconsin_now it's so great that this site has become a right wing echo chamber to the point where people will post this type of extreme rightwing opinion and it will rack up the favs and you all convince yourselves your positions are popular among normal society
