This after the Taylor Swift concert sale disaster. He was quoted as saying ‘ Most of our tickets are totally affordable’ Most people guessing that most fans can’t shell out hundreds of not thousands of dollars for a show.
Ticketmaster has been widely blasted over the last week after the site sold out all general tickets for Taylor Swifts “ Eros tour” a 52-show stadium extravaganza during a verified-fans presale.
The huge debacle devastated her millions of fans. Those who were lucky enough to be invited to purchase tickets during the crazy and glitch-filled presale weren’t happy, having experienced hour-long queues and multiple site crashes.
There was once a day when Ticket master was a great way to get tickets at a fair price. Now it seems they have become a monopoly of sorts and yet still can’t keep up with the demand.
It used to be the scalpers that would jack up the pricing and make it tough for the average fans to see a show. Now it’s corporate greed and failed foresight that has become a major issue for concert lovers World wide. Let’s hope that in the near future these issues can be sorted out so that concerts can be enjoyed by not just the rich but by everyone.
