    Default Ticketmaster Bullsh*t - rant

    So I wait till 10:00 a.m doing refreshs on ticketmaster to buy tickets for the stones.... 10:01, I can't even purchase 2 tickets anywhere in the arena.

    What a bunch of B.S. and on ebay at 10:10, there are 2 pages of tickets already for sale...fricking scalpers.

    AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG.

    Awww, sorry, I sure can relate to this. Have seen a few new stories about scalpers, internet, TiktBastard. & my own exp. as well. I guess they designed the web to try & give some folks a shot, only to have scalpers get software to get around that. Before even scalpers, many tickets are gone, to radio stations, promoters, etc. I read somewhere, about a priv. box to see Stones going for $100K...don't think so, even if I won the lotto. I tend to stick to House of Blues shows, or if I do buy a ticket from TKBstrd, I get a half way decent seat b/c I go alone. A few yrs ago, Pearl Jam tried to block TB from even being able to sell their show, they lost.

    Yep....I curse like a sailor when trying to get tickets to something good. It's so unfair to the general public it's insane. We recentely bought tickets to Paul McCartney and Elton John concerts at Madison Square Garden, we had to go through an online ticket broker and paid more than double the face value for McCartney and about 20% over for the Elton John tickets.Tickets brokers and scalpers need to be stopped!

    I remember watching a news story about some concert, where there were people waiting in line all night to purchase tickets. When the window openned in the morning - those people who waited all night thinking they would get the first tickets - ALREADY SOLD OUT!

    Concerts, like most of the music industry these days, are a joke and the best is saved for the elitists. They will sell you some crap for three days of earnings.
