Ticketmaster is a well-known name in the ticketing industry, but in recent years, the company has been accused of scamming bands and ticket buyers alike. This concert season, the company has come under fire for adding unfounded fees, allowing price gouging, and allowing resellers to buy tickets before they become available to the public.
One of the most significant issues with Ticketmaster is the fees that they add on top of the ticket price. These fees can add up to a significant amount, sometimes nearly doubling the price of the ticket. While Ticketmaster claims that these fees are necessary to cover their costs, many people believe that they are unfounded and excessive. This has led to accusations that Ticketmaster is using these fees to pad their profits at the expense of both bands and ticket buyers.
Another issue is the practice of price gouging. Price gouging occurs when a seller raises the price of a product or service in response to increased demand. In the case of Ticketmaster, this often means that tickets to popular concerts are sold at a much higher price than their face value. This can make it difficult for fans to afford to see their favorite bands, and can also make it harder for smaller bands to attract a larger audience.
Finally, Ticketmaster has been accused of allowing resellers to buy tickets before they become available to the public. This means that these resellers can buy tickets at a lower price and then sell them for a profit once they go on sale to the public. While Ticketmaster claims that they are working to combat this issue, many people believe that they are not doing enough to stop it.
All of these issues combined have led to a growing dissatisfaction with Ticketmaster among both bands and ticket buyers. Many people are now looking for alternative ticketing options that are more transparent and fair. While it remains to be seen what will happen to Ticketmaster in the long run, it is clear that they will need to make significant changes if they want to regain the trust of their customers.
