Ticketmaster favors accounts that do not transfer tickets, to get in queues. A real fan who goes with their buddy, who is transferring tickets to their friends, is getting put in the back of the line for all future events, because Ticketmaster is a monopoly and they treat all transfers as "stubhub sales" and that is a threat to TM resale platform and LYV stock. They put those people in back of the line, and all the resellers who use "transferless links" in the front of the line. This is also why all queues are now 100,000 people. Ticketmaster also of course email fans say "transfer tickets to your friends if they beat you to the gate" with no mention of being placed in the back of the line for all future presales.
This is a monpolistic practice and questionably illegal. #ticketmaster#monopoly@DanWallLN@ScottFriedman3
Phoebe Bridgers slow rolling the presales this week surely building up the fomo to get even its most skeptical fans to shell out $200 to see her even tho it should really be $40
Wall Street should study Phoebe Bridgers presales. FIFA spent years perfecting ticket lotteries to pretend things were scarce, and now Ticketmaster somehow turned a presale code and a ticketmaster queue rank into a more valuable commodity
Malcolm Todd has all the emo kids considering dropping out of high school up in arms right now. They sat through a 25,000-person Ticketmaster queue just to find out he added second shows everywhere
let's see if promoters caught enough of the fans fomo to sell out multi night runs at arenas for Phoebe bridgers. With the spaced out false supply presales, maybe it can happen. Who knows
Charli XCX doing presales 9am on Friday same day as onsales. But "charity" platinum 10x will be available all day until they decide to lower the price like the World Cup. #ticketmaster#charlixcxtickets#charlixcx
Gotta love how @RedRocksCO does tiered pricing with GA1, GA2, GA3, etc. — and then when GA1 "sells out," they raise the price of GA2 by $30 and GA3 by $40.
What's the point of having pricing tiers if you're also changing the price within each tier? At that point, the tiers don't really mean anything — it's just dynamic pricing with extra steps.
wait back that up - if Gracie Abrams is now forcing selfie uploads like 21pilots, we are going to the moon. Black market tactics = Black Market pricing. #ticketmaster#monopoly
