People are buying up ticketmaster tickets in bulk in order to sell them off dearer on ticketmasters other site seatwave. basically legal ticket touting!

Atlantic Dawn · 07-10-2016 02:01PM

With Seatwave are the tickets not surrendered and then reissued to the new name? There's no physical tickets being exchanged back and given to another buyer.

It is obvious that Ticketmaster are withholding tickets for sale on Seat Wave. Maybe Joe can't say that but a blind man can see it.

Feck it, would people ever cop on and make do with YouTube or watch an old episode of Top of the Pops. Better sound and you don't have to leave your couch.

The touts, they got the money when they sold the tickets to the poooeerrrr fans, then when the refunds came they were issued back to the credit cards they were bought with so the seller gets that too, not the buyer, pure cash cow so to speak.

Well, only if they were complete muppets.

The original purchaser's name would be on the tickets so to speak.

PeterTheNinth · 07-10-2016 02:02PM

Stop shouting at the woman, ffs. She just said that she didn't know that ticket touting was illegal.

cowboyBuilder · 07-10-2016 02:02PM

Thank f*ck I have no desire to see ColdPlay ... it was enough of a pain to get Springsteen tickets last year ...

ThisRegard · 07-10-2016 02:02PM

Why is Joe now dropping 'alleged' in front of touting every time one of his callers says it, but it's ok for him?

Atlantic Dawn · 07-10-2016 02:02PM

He can only fit 4 at the one time so speak.

run_Forrest_run · 07-10-2016 02:03PM

Joe needs to watch Dispatches, Seatwave don't just act as a reseller by fans, they receive allocations of tickets from promoters and sell them on themselves.

Is Joe not allowing anyone to dish the name of Ticketmaster as they advertise on RTÉ? Similar to the Lloyds Pharmacy filtering so to speak.

He may be sticking to the legalistic way of making it plain that nobody can say that, kind of thing; but fair play to him, he's grown some balls.
Small ones, to be sure.

I mentioned it earlier, but Pearl Jam tried it back in the 90s, they even had congressional hearings

i think Joe is alluding to that, but for obvious reasons cannot say it. He does not like ticket master

I remember lots of "country folk" friends bought them from unauthorised sellers so to speak and then when they refunds came they were unable to get a cent as tickets were not issued to them.

Pateen being thrown to wolves

Roger_007 · 07-10-2016 02:06PM

Maybe they will have a second gig. They might sell the tickets and the Dublin Co Co refuse planning permission. After a big row, Coldplay refuse to play at all.

That couldn't happen.......could it?

Atlantic Dawn · 07-10-2016 02:06PM

So will Joe ask him the $50k question as to what his attendance record is?

ThisRegard · 07-10-2016 02:06PM

Joe allowing one of his FF buddies on air to argue against a newspaper article. Joe is getting fairly fond with doing this these days.

thecretinhop · 07-10-2016 02:08PM

The garettt brukes farce was one of the greatest laughs of all time my favourite bit was the guy in indo clip that had looney tunes as ringtone

Del.Monte · 07-10-2016 02:08PM

Joe ready to tear into the journalist on behalf of the councillor

delta_bravo · 07-10-2016 02:10PM

Hope this lad has a good solicitor

Red Kev · 07-10-2016 02:12PM

Did Joe get his seat in Rick Steins on Seatwave or through his RTE contacts.

Roger_007 · 07-10-2016 02:12PM
