    Coz maybe they are gougers who aren't actually about the fans?

    Buy or flog on toutless or ticketswap.

    So they can make even MORE money.


    I tried selling tickets on Resale recently. After a month, they still hadn't shifted. Checked ticketmaster and they weren't even visible to buyers! Contacted TM and was told if you're selling General Admission, ONLY the cheapest will show.


    I get that any buyer would want the cheapest available (I know I would!), but very unfair that not all listings are displayed. A buyer could want multiple tickets but is led to believe only 1 is available on Resale, even if more are hidden at a different price. Kinda drives the buyer back to ticketmaster.


    AND forces sellers to lower their prices (in a blind underbidding war), to be the one on display. But ticketmaster still add their commission...


    Excuse the rant, but 2 months later and I'm still in a mood about it
