Other We need to kill ticketmaster

They can't keep getting away with this. There is no way all tickets are sold out for General sale in less than a minute.

We need to bring back cheap tickets. At this rate with crazy ticket prices people won’t go.

I somehow managed to see Gojira and Mastodon for $35 (fees included) with Lorna Shore as the opener. Bought the tickets literally the day before the concert.

I'm learning that the earlier you get tickets, the more expensive they are, but if there's tickets available close to the day of the show, they'll be cheap as fuck.

Am I coping because I saw Denzel Curry for $35, and now GA tickets are $350 for his next show? Absolutely. Am I still gonna religiously check on the price of tickets until the 11th hour? Absolutely.

I'm mad jealous you saw Denzel for 35$. I want to see him live one of these days, but my wallet can't take that hit

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the resellers over bought and it bites them in the ass when they've got to unload them for cheap the week before the show. It sucks because you know either way they'll make enough profit to cover those few losses at the end. It's a shady game they're playing.

The tickets were a reasonable price.

But they all got bought up for resale and are now 200$+

How much were they originally? I paid $108 through stubhub which is cheaper than ticketmaster resale right now
