Ticketmaster is a monopoly that needs to be broken up
Pearl Jam tried to fight back against Ticketmaster for their greed in 1995 with a lawsuit and FAILED even then. Now here we are 30 years later
What Robert Smith did was incredible though. I bought tickets for a The Cure show two years ago for like 50 bucks, then Robert called out Ticketmaster for raising the prices because apparently he wanted the tickets cheaper. The guy somehow managed to make Ticketmaster refund everyone who bought a ticket (I got around 20$ back if I remember well). It’s really cool.
You can't even buy tour tickets directly anymore, it's always from third parties such as Ticket Master.
Something I will always love and respect charlie for is, he is obviously a very rich man, but still understands that 200 dollars is an absolutely egregious price for a concert.
We once had a Laufey concert in Singapore and I was super gassed to book tickets for it. Unfortunately the scum that are scalpers used bots to mass purchase seats to the point that I kid you not we couldn’t even buy them 5 minutes into opening sales. Worse, they also resold them at 5x the prices they were going for on other sites. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
I saw the the Cure in 2023, and the tickets were 60 bucks. It sold out fast, so Robert Smith decided to do another show the following day so everybody who wanted to go to see them live would have a chance. It was also a sold out show. That's what I call an artist who appreciates his fans.
So glad you mentioned Robert Smith as hearing about this situation brought back the tour The Cure (favorite band ever) recently did - I remember that whole situation last year and how he got other sites to take down scalpers trying to re-sell their tickets.
somebody i know was a class A scalper - until he bought about 50 T.Swift concert tickets in Toronto to re-sell them, just to find out the day of the concert people weren't able to claim their tickets. Turned out the scalper purchased from a scammer and had to pay back every person he ripped off.
That Squidward "mediocre" got me pretty good.
