Ticketmaster Sucks Ass

Verbal · 2005-04-06, 11:02 AM

I just ordered tickets for a show online at ticketmaster.com. The show was only $20, but with all their bullshit fees it came out to $32.82. What's worse is I have to print out the tickets myself, wtf. Also, to order online you need to first create an account and agree to be spammed by them and pretty much anyone associated with the ticket (venue, artist, promoters, etc.), and there is no opt-out. Tickemaster fucking sucks.

some companies take upselling to a whole new level and then they got the nerve to wonder why there broke.

wow, that is bullcrap... i never did like ticketmaster anyways, now i dislike them even more!

Verbal · 2005-04-06, 11:29 AM

Yeah, and when you're ordering your ticket there are about 3 or 4 long web forms you need to fill out with all your info, and at the top of the page there's a little note that you only have 2 minutes to submit the form or your tickets will be gone. I'm a pretty fast typer, but I don't need the added stress, thank you, lol.

Is it 1995 again & Pearly Jam is touring without Ticketmaster?

Torn Rose · 2005-04-06, 12:53 PM

Greenguy · 2005-04-06, 01:25 PM

cd34 · 2005-04-06, 01:28 PM

Cleo · 2005-04-06, 01:38 PM

WIll they be performing at the Pearly Gates?

Torn Rose · 2005-04-06, 01:55 PM

Either that or the really expensive tickets you bought is not to the concert you wanted to see.

Maybe they will have Greeny Days open… or Corn… maybe Soundsgarden?

Mister13 · 2005-04-06, 02:04 PM

Was never a fan of ticketmaster nor a fan of Nirvana, but when Nirvana turned its guns on Ticketmaster way back when, Nirvana became infinately more palatable.

And yes the Spam from them sucks, however Im afraid to ask to be removed for fear I may miss one of my favorite groups performing.

Greenguy · 2005-04-06, 02:07 PM

At least I knew the Black Crowes were back together (and I won the Fantasy Football League)

Those "print your own tickets" almost always get you delayed getting in...You always end up with the one ticket taker that's determined to prove that they're earning their minimum wage for the day.

Mister13 · 2005-04-06, 02:27 PM

Absolutely true. I forgot about the sucky Print your own Ticket...
