Ticketmaster doing Ticketmaster (Live Nation) shit

[B]

Ugh. I felt so old today. One of my coworkers.

"Hey B, you like Pearl Jam, right? I was watching a thing about Ticketmaster and Taylor Swift today, and they showed some clips from a long time ago of one of the guys in Pearl Jam testifying at Congress!"

I am so certain that Pearl Jam's Ticketmaster fight predated her birth. Ugh.

Whenever I get asked about Ticketmaster when people know of my PJ history, I just tell them all of the horrors of 10C ticket incompetence that I went through, and then state the hot take of "Ticketmaster is good, actually".

Noticed that TM now offers payment plans for some concert tickets. I get that it helps folks who cannot afford to buy a $100+ ticket, but it just feels wrong.

Live Nation and Ticketmaster Could Soon Face Federal Antitrust Lawsuit

My 9 y.o. loves Imagine Dragons, as 9 y.o. boys do, so I registered for a pre-sale code to get tickets which were set to go on sale this morning. I checked last night to look at the seating chart as I hadn't been to Merriweather in years and to my surprise a few dozen pavilion seats were available the night before the fan presale started, so I got a pair rather than risk missing out in the morning. This morning seats in the same row were $100 more and seats a few rows closer were triple what I paid. Concerts will only be for the rich soon.

Here's the results after the on-sale. Pink dots are "verified resellers" (scalpers).





For all the bitching about PJ tickets, at least it doesnt look like this.

[wease]

No. Pearl Jam just scalps them themselves.
