Ticketbastard Relationship With Scalpers


Steve Haynie

Recommended Posts

With their "Official Platinum Seats", Ticketmaster has clearly acknowledged that scalping exists and added to their business plan a program to exploit the (legitimate) consumer fear that bots are buying all the best tickets.  Artists are complicit as well by agreeing to participate in M&G/VIP packages that reserve huge blocks of the better seats for people willing to pay a premium for a quick photo op or a keychain.  The whole system is shady as fuck.

Have always thought it was shady. I’m thinking it’s some kind of warped strategy to tie up the sweet seats so that it squeezes the general public into buying the real crappy seats which would otherwise be tough to sell.    Whatever the hell theyre doing it reeks of payola.   Entertainment industry not exactly bastions of virtue so not a surprise.
