I've tried SO many times to make peace with Ticketmaster. Like tried to see their point of view. And the "mission impossible" job they seem to have to get tickets in the right hands. But nah, fuck them, they are fucking bullshits. Seriously. If "this works so damn well and they have to do it this way", then tell me why the fuck fans end up getting screwed and scalpers always end up lucky? Anyway, they really make me into this negative person with bad attitude that I just don't think is worth it at the moment in my life, so I'm trying to take a distance as it is now, but yeah, what you just said makes me a bit upset. There's a reason for a Verified fan presale, and their reason is to make as much money from us as possible because they know we have our hearts in the artist more than anyone else and we're ready to pay anything to get what we want. It appears that they left very few Pit tickets go at the listed price. Just enough to say they had them. When it pops up after 15 min of looking (after they went on sale for everyone). Then in the short time it took me to grab it they were gone. Or they raised them back to $650. Not to mention all the Resale tickets that popped up on the site the second that sales opened up on Friday.. Selling tickets that everyone wants for triple the price. Crazy how they let scalpers use their site to screw fans. Its clearly for the money. They charge service fees when you buy. Now that I'm trying to sell the 1st ticket I bought see they charge the seller more fees to sell and I would bet they charge the buyer of the resell ticket fees too. Each time its $25+. So they make $ in fees x 3 on 1 ticket. I just looked on stub hub and there are 75 pit tickets on sell for the Columbus show. Cheapest at $860. IDK why I keep looking ticks me off every time. I should just take my ticket and be happy.  My heart is fucking broken seriously fucking would do something if I could. I can't believe this is happening. |

We had like 30 mins convos three times and a few emails back and forth, and he was a huge rock fan and said he has experienced exactly everything I have mentioned in detail and he really wanted to do some digging into this. However, he mentioned something I didn't know, that Ticketmaster tried to get a law against the second hand ticket market for a very long time because they were fighting these scalpers who were shit loads of pain in the arse, however this law never came through, so Ticketmaster joined the scalpers. And I am 110% this is true. Of course they rather give tickets to scalpers they work with so that they can sky rock their prices, they both make a good deal in working together. |

I really wish someone would do something about scalpers. But it seems like Ticketmaster took the approach of well if you're going to rip people off . we will too. I mean I have no problem paying more for a show because its more elaborate or cost more to produce, or because she is more popular now . But with the scalpers and ticketmaster, the money isn't even going to P!nk/crew. etc etc.

According to them them Premium seats (tickets) are set aside by the artist and the event coordinator to give fans an opportunity to buy the best seats in the house. But I donno if that means they know the price or get extra money for it. But fuck it I can’t think of this anymore. I’m flying over in a week I have to get in the right mood for it. |

I don't know why I keep sneaking on Ticketmaster. Maybe it's a guilty pleasure, I have no idea. Same here. Every mornings, when I wake up, I look at my emails, Twitter, FB... and Ticketmaster! There were a lot of these "verified resale tickets" on TicketMaster the day before one of the show I went (but there were no Standard tickets available). I feared that the arena would be half empty. I don't know what happened, but there were no empty seat at all for the show. I didn't get it.🤔 |

People end up going. Judging by the videos from the shows it's pretty much sold out. I guess a lot of people can't plan in that much advance so they just wait until they can go. In Europe it's gonna be sold out in minutes tho. |

In Europe it's gonna be sold out in minutes tho. Hmm. Actually this is the only venue I’ve seen it being like this. It’s sold out everywhere and definitely not this many tickets available. At least what I’ve seen. But I might be wrong. |

Maybe he will tell us all about it here later  |

Maybe he will tell us all about it here later I’m hoping he shares... I kept hoping tickets would go down for that show because I really wanted to plan a last minute trip home and catch her there and in Portland but tickets stayed too high for me to justify it... especially after my stupid choices at the merch tables.(Not that they would’ve been dumb for others but I would’ve preferred to save the money for tickets if I hadn’t been acting impulsively.) |
