Ticketmaster - Taylor Swift

[iso36]

I’m biased because I’m connected to the board of live nation, so I’m naturally curious to know what the great unwashed of the PB thinks of all the government concern and fan lawsuits over Taylor Swift concert tickets.

See

New York (CNN Business) — Congress wants answers from the CEO of Ticketmaster’s parent company after a ticketing snafu ahead of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour left millions of unhappy Swifties without the ability to see the the singer-songwriter perform.

I find it odd that it took Taylor Swift for Congress to show interest in a monopoly that's been around for over two decades.

Not an impediment for most here, actually.

It wasn't Swift, it was the total fuck up of the sales system, which in turn has focused some lawmakers on what is damn near a monopoly.

I told them to blame TS’s popularity.

Bigger than the Beatles.

Bigger than Kim’s ass.

She broke ticketmaster. Sorry!

The system went down because of Swift ticket sales. And the attention was garnered because it was for Swift's concerts.

If it were for Metric concerts, there would not be as much attention nor would there be interest from Congress.

Ill said something that was correct! Woot!

Monopoly my ass. AEG is also big.

Fun story: I have a friend was was recently paid 2 mil not to play ( aeg owned) coachella in order to do a live nation thing nearly a year later.

That’s how much LN and AEG will fight over an act.

Sweet!

Ticketmaster is a criminal organization that should face the corporate death penalty.

The flaws, and danger of the Ticketmaster system were preexisting. The Swift concert tour merely exposed the problems.

To put it another way, Taylor was the little girl that pulled her finger out of the dike. (I love it when I can put a phrase like that together.)

Ticketmaster sucks. I get way better prices and seats from scalpers loitering outside the venue.

I agree, but you missed a better spelling of dike allowing for a funnier joke which also alludes to TS‘s sexuality rumors.

For what?

Selling tickets to travelling minstrel shows?

 

[SubzeroGirl]

That’s nice. Taylor Swift is still popular.

 

[iso36]

Dozens of Taylor Swift fans, and one angry lawyer/Swiftee, want Ticketmaster to stand trial for allegedly screwing them outta tickets ... and right now at least, they're not interested in settling.

Oh no! Dozens of angry tweens and the luks!

Pearl Jam were fighting them in 1992.

People buy Taylor Swift tickets like she's gonna blow them afterwards. Even mention her going on tour and the world falls apart. The fucking Beatles didn't get that kind of reaction. Hell, maybe she does blow everybody after the show. I've never been to one. Thinking maybe I should give her a shot.
