  Can’t tell you how many events I’ve wanted to attend and opted out because they use Ticketmaster. I was even given free tickets and stayed home because I refused to download their shitty app.

  I wish people had more self respect.

    For the free tickets you got, I think it’s possible to go to the box office at the venue and ask them to print paper tickets for you.

      some places do this, not all. i try every time to keep the ticket as a memento.

  Ticketmaster only exists to reduce the income of musicians.

  The musicians would exist without Ticketmaster

  The venues would exist without Ticketmaster

  The crowd would exist without Ticketmaster

  They only extract value

  Ticketmaster is cancer

  They also take advantage of people in a rush to grab tickets or someone else gets them first, so people just buy whatever they can click, not noticing they are dynamically priced.

  Ticketmaster is one of those companies that is so aggressively anti-consumer that it deserves the corporate death penalty. There is just nothing redeeming about it.
