I FUCKING HATE THIS SERVICE. Assholes don’t let you delete your account and ask you to go to their privacy policy page and read through 500 pages of text to find the instructions on how to delete your account, only for it to say you have to contact them to delete it, and when you contact them they never respond back other than the automated email response. Absolute cancer that always adds on 20 extra dollars to all of your tickets at checkout time when seats are quickly selling out. FUCK THIS MONOPOLY AND FUCK THE CORPORATE DICK SUCKING MANIACS RUNNING IT.
Adam Conover just did a video on mega mergers and Ticketmaster was prominently featured. I thought it was pretty well done, but hope you like the guy because he takes his personality to 11 on this one.
Fuck these monopoly fucks.
Adam was touring his comedy set recently, outside Ticketmaster, which is next to impossible to do.
I got mad respect for the guy, actually practices what he preaches.
When he goes back on tour; if you see a show in a town you know people, help spread the word for him, since he’s doing it all homegrown.
Sounds like everyone should have listened to Pearl Jam thirty years ago when Tickermaster wasn’t a complete monopoly.
Idk if it’s possible, but you could try saying you’re now a EU citizen and you want all you data and everything related to you deleted, according to GDPR laws.
I requested a data deletion according to California laws but we shall see how they handle that considering they have not responded to me at all
I personally haven’t gone to concerts anymore because of ticketmaster & ticket costs, no thanks, I’m good.
Dont know about where you’re from but when someone says concert they usually mean large production in an arena or other large seating capacity venue. Not something that is held at bars. I’d call something I go to at a bar a “show”.
Even putting the vertical monopoly aside, their app is straight up useless and doesn’t work. I spent 3 hours trying to buy tickets for a show today and the app first wouldn’t let me log in, then it wouldn’t let me put in a pre-sale code to get discountes tickets, then it crashed multiple times on the payment page. So not only are they the only place to buy tickets to a lot of shows, they make it almost impossible to actually buy the tickets from their own freaking service.
But they will gladly resell you the tickets they sold themselves for 10X face value
Big bank bots are buying up the tickets for credit card points redemption, which is why the site gets ddos’ed, causing the site to not work for regular users. Credit card companies are listing the tickets for resale at the inflated rates their customer points are equated to.
Banks have found another avenue of profit in this.
