Ticketmaster is such a freaking joke

They won’t.Yes, and this is just the limited super fan verified presale. At 2 they open it up to Capital One cardholders. They better figure it out quick.You've been waiting 90 minutes? Online?

We usually sit in the upper bowl, to the right of the stage. For TSO we're sitting in the lower bowl, but higher up. My wife bought the tickets so I don't know exactly where.Where are you sitting? We're in the upper bowl again and I've always thought it sounded good up there. But I'm easy to please with TSO.Is this at PPG?
We're kind of done with that venue I think. Each time I've been there the sound is just flat and washed out. We're going to catch Trans Siberian Orchestra there in December, and sit somewhere else to see if it's just where we've been sitting, but I'm not hopeful.

LMAO the Swifties are seriously going to invade Ticketmaster HQ. They broke TM and I think they might break Twitter dodinting about it.

TicketMaster deserves the hate. They're takers. Charging exorbitant fees to do one job and they can't even do that.

Pearl Jam was right. Back in 1995 or whenever they testified in Congress.

It's kind of remarkable that nobody has managed to break into Ticketmaster's space. I'm hard pressed to think of tickets I've bought to a major venue recently that hasn't gone through them.
Their platform is always breaking down and it doesn't get improved because who the hell else you gonna get to sell tickets to your concert, Taylor?
The best part is they knew exactly how many codes they issued but they didn't expect how many people were going to try to get tickets?

It finally let me select seats, clicked purchase, it errored and sent me back to the beginning of the queue. Neat.

Almost positive it's because Ticketmaster has deals with all promoters (LiveNation, etc) to run initial ticket sales through them. Other places like Stubhub only exist for re-sale tickets.

We should get Musk to buy TicketmasterI wonder whose bright idea it was to have every single show go on sale on the same day at the same time (for each time zone)?

We saw TSO a few years ago a PPG, we were in the lower bowl but towards the top of the section and sound was not bad at all. Agree that it is hit or miss though at PPG for concerts sometimes.We usually sit in the upper bowl, to the right of the stage. For TSO we're sitting in the lower bowl, but higher up. My wife bought the tickets so I don't know exactly where.Where are you sitting? We're in the upper bowl again and I've always thought it sounded good up there.

They merged a long time ago. It's why they have a monopoly....(LiveNation, etc)... for re-sale tickets.It's kind of remarkable that nobody has managed to break into Ticketmaster's space. I'm hard pressed to think of tickets I've bought to a major venue recently that hasn't gone through them.

Were you able to get through? I finally got through after my second wait in the queue. Most of the good seats were eaten up by then so we're up in the nose bleeds.We are stuck at the Pizza Tracker halfway. Mrs. F wanted to refresh- I told her that's a very bad idea. It's probably stuck because the Central Time shows went up.

My sister won some lottery and that's how she bought tickets today.

We got 3 mid upper deck north end zone, took a little more than 4 hours.

Finally got in and got an error, this whole thing is a joke.
dodint's Thread of Concerts and Public Events
Venues, too. And as the market 'evolves' venues (at the behest of TM/LiveNation) move away from physical tix to digital only. And then TM/LN can control the secondary market by only accepting transfers to secondary buyers that go through the TM/LN portal...... where that secondary buyer is also charged a 'convenience fee', creating a nice double dip situation where the same ticket is charged fees twice.Almost positive it's because Ticketmaster has deals with all promoters (LiveNation, etc) to run initial ticket sales through them. Other places like Stubhub only exist for re-sale tickets.

I had no idea TS was so popular with 5AF posters.

We're in the 500s parallel with the stage, which I'm assuming isn't going to be a super great view but my options were limited. Plus every time I selected a group of seats and tried to check out, somebody else swooped in and they were no longer available. I guess I should be happy to get anything considering what a cluster **** this was.We got 3 mid upper deck north end zone, took a little more than 4 hours.

We have wives and daughters. I wouldn't go on my own, but they didn't have to twist my arm.

She has good stuff and unlike some of popular acts, she has a lot of musical talent when you strip away the dancers and ballyhoo. Check out her Tiny Desk if you're curious.I'm blissfully unaware of any of her music.My wife really wants to go but let's not act like Folklore isn't great.I had no idea TS was so popular with 5AF posters.

I am a firm believer in the 'kitchen table test'..... play the song like you're sitting at the kitchen table with just your voice and an acoustic guitar (or vox+piano, depending on your kitchen); if it sounds good there, it's a good song. While 99% of TS's music isn't my cup of tea, nearly everything of hers I've ever heard would pass the kitchen table test. She's a good songwriter...... it's all the non-kitchen tabley stuff that I don't care for.

As mentioned my sister won a lottery to get her chance to buy. She had to do it by phone. She was around 2000th in line when she called in and it took all day to work through the queue. She almost had to leave work but finally got through.
