    NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!

    In all seriousness, this is a landmark ruling.

    “The jury deliberated for four days before deciding that the company operated as a monopoly that broke antitrust laws.”

    “An exact punishment has yet to be meted out, but the consequences could range from heavy monetary damages to possibly breaking up Live Nation and Ticketmaster. It’s also likely that Live Nation will appeal the verdict, meaning the case could continue for several more years.”

    This bums me out and it's so true. I bought tickets to a popular touring artist (but not Swift / Beyonce level) playing a football stadium and getting seats that were not in the 300 level nose bleeds was $250 a pop. And that was the on sale price, not even the secondary market!

    Just checked the secondary market and the same section I have is going for double what I paid.

  3. Robert Smith on Ticketmaster, ticket prices and bands: "it's laziness, stupidity or greed."

    (This is aTikTok video which was shared on Facebook. I think it is open for anyone to view.)

  4. Ticketmaster just sent me a refund email. It REEKED of spam, weird email account, terrible graphics, unclear language, had urgency, wanted me to click links. But ironically it was totally legit.

    I can't wait for the DOJ to break them up.

  5. @uktw tickets are cheaper if people buy direct from the and not from and their grubby ilk.

  6. I didn't think it was possible to be shittier and technologically extortionate than #ticketbastard, but #axs, you are exceptional in your incompetence and borderline criminal stupidity.

    This seems to be the trend; big stupid venue/ticketing firms FORCING the download of a crap #UX and crappier ticketing (telemetry) app, FORCING notifications, & then being some utter garbage software, all because what should be done -business liquidation- isn't a current option.

  7. Can someone PLEASE help me 🙏 I’m on a new iPhone (yes, I caved) and I can’t get into my TM app bc of this error message and I cannot figure out how to fix it. Tried a bunch of things nothing worked. Does anyone have any tips?? Thank you so much in advance!!#IThelp #java #ticketbastard

  8. How many times will Ticketmaster send me the same "Plan ahead to make the most of your day" email, advertising expensive earplugs? Why is there no opt out? Feck off, #TicketBastard

  9. There are people on Reddit (and likely elsewhere) who are actually trying to justify this bullshit. Fuck Ticketmaster!

  10. CW: Unless and until the artists demand change, they are complicit.

    @PatrickKelly is there some context to this post other than the fact that #TicketBastard is nearly a monopoly and using their power to gouge concert goers on ticket prices?
