when you're just going about your day and realize that taylor will sing rwylm again any day now

[tbyfandoms]

this whole eras tour ticket fiasco has truly drained me and broken my heart more than anything ever has before. I’m so upset and so disappointed. I pray something good comes out of all of this and that something is done for us fans who got nothing and will now no longer get the chance to get something tomorrow

arena names are so yucky. what do you mean t mobile tele2 coca cola verizon unlimited stadium ew ew ew!!!!

[alchemiclee]

yessssss more artists need to start doing this!!!! this is the first time i've ever seen an artist do this. ticketmaster especially, but other ticket websites as well, really ruin concerts because they won't fix their bot/scalper issue. ticketmaster scalps their own tickets out in the open! (no one wants your horrible "platinum" tickets!!!!! why pay $200 more for no benefits!!!! it's a scam!!!!) they don't care because they make more money off scalpers. so artists and their companies need to start taking things into their own hands and cancel tickets that are being resold for more than face value and not allow platinum tickets, since the ticket seller companies won't do anything but charge extra 🙄

GOT TICKETS TO SEE TAYLOR SWIFT IN SEATTLE NEXT JULY LETS GOOOO

[beldiaries]

Tickermaster created the Verified Fan registry for the tour dates in Mexico, and almost everyone who got a code are resellers. Real fans were sent to the waiting list. I'm sad, disappointed, angry, everything at once. I waited 15 years to see her, 15 years of fangirling, years of bullying for loving her, just for haters (who have expressed they want to commit fraud) got the email. I know it was randomly selected but still, it's not fair.

Juat curious if you have any thoughts on the Taylor Swift ticketmaster thing from months back and how it went down and also people calling out tickermaster's monopoly?

Would you believe I've never gone to a concert before? Never had the money, never had the access. I am very in the dark as to what Ticketmaster did, outside of the fact I've heard friends and others on the internet complain about Ticketmaster for years and how they only seem to be feeding the scalping market more than anything else. I can see their Consumer Affairs profile has a lot of unhappy people.

Given that the Ticketmaster app advertises "buy and sell your tickets" I'm assuming they went in the same direction as every other major online retailer and opened themselves up to letting users resell their items online? Leading to the proliferation of people buying up huge stocks of items and then flipping them for a higher price.

I hate that stuff. If you were to ask me, that's a top ten reason for the inflation we're currently experiencing. Covid got people to realize they could buy up stuff like hand sanitizer and toilet paper and resell it online, and now suddenly they do that with all kinds of stuff. I run into it all the time when grocery shopping, because I do a lot of my grocery shopping online.

Jiffy brownie mix was normally $0.98, but I go looking for it now and some reseller wants me to pay him over $6 for it.

You think Walmart or whoever cares? Of course not. They take the scalper's money (for the initial sale) and then get a cut of what the scalper sells it for (the resell). A successful scalper is a double dip for the retailer. They have a financial incentive to not only allow scalping, but maybe to even encourage it.

And what do you think happens when the manufacturer sees people paying $7 for ketchup? Well, golly, that's now lost revenue, isn't it? Supply and demand, mother effer. "If people are going to pay Johnny Assclown $7 for ketchup, they should be paying us $7 for ketchup."

Out of everyone in this equation, the resellers care the least. Everybody suffers except for those filling their pockets.

I dunno what happened with Taylor Swift but I'm willing to bet it's the same garbage that's making everyone's lives miserable in the rest of the world.

Taylor Swift is cute tho

to the anon who sent that tumblr post link:

i don't feel comfortable sharing the link because i don't want it to make it seem like i'm dismissing people's genuine, good faith efforts but yesterday i spent all day talking about why individual efforts to stop ticketmaster's predatory business or have them change their policies are useless

they're a monopoly, they have no competitor fans and artists can turn to as an alternative, which means they have zero incentive to care about fans' complaints or negotiate better terms with artists.

they're allowed to do what they want because in 2009 the DOJ ruled the merge of tickermaster and live nation wasn't in violation of antitrust laws, so if you want to take real action that might lead to real change you have no other option but to contact your local representatives, senators and other government officials about your concerns with how TM is allowed to operate as an unregulated monopoly, or write a letter to the DOJ to hold an audience to discuss these concerns once again

we can make however many change.org petitions as we want, they don't care and they won't change, because whatever happens you will be obligated to do business with them if you want to purchase any concerts or NFL game tickets at all so it's whatever to them
