Muse MSG and STUBHUB/TICKETMASTER
Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2009 6:51 pm
so Saturday i was looking forward to getting some seats in the GA area, right in the pit for the Muse/silversun pickups concert on march 5th in MSG New York. I sign on to Ticketmaster (the single distributor of the tickets) at exactly 12:00 PM (the SECOND the tickets went on sale).
I was expecting to get four fairly good seats. WRONG! within 0 minutes of the sale, all the good seats were gone, and the best seat i could get was section 329, which is directly to the left the stage...
now i have tickets to a concert where i cant see Silversun pickups because a curtain will be on the sides of the stage, blocking anyone not in front of the stage from having a view of the band.
now this atrocity occured beause Ticketmaster sells their tickets to online bots on Stub hub and other sites like that. These tickets values are then TRIPLED or even QUADRUPLED!!!! some tickets that were going for 65$ are now 2000$. MAdness
the point of this rant is not just to complain/vent but to get some support. PLease please please PLease, sign this petition to prevent anything like this from happening again!!!
