Apparently they won’t sell you seats if you leave a single seat next to your order. Fuck this shitty monopoly

    The only infurtiating thing here is you feeling entitled to other people’s right to view the show and others’ money - corporate or otherwise.

      What the fuck are you talking about? I tried to buy tickets from a site that said tickets were available. Then it said I didn’t buy enough tickets.

      Seems like you’ve been licking too many corporate boots to understand this post. Maybe you can buy the extra ticket for me if you feel so strongly about the poor monopolies.

      People like this and the ones who responded to you aren’t thinking. They see the words Ticketmaster or Corporation and immediately lose any sense of higher-level reasoning - they just start metaphorically foaming at the mouth. Other trigger words: libs/trump/edison/GMO/coal/big tech/ you get the picture

      On topic to the OP -

      • it’s not Ticketmaster setting these rules, it’s the venue
      • they probably had the seating rule listed somewhere along the process and you just skipped over it
      • you can just… not fucking go

        “Everyone I disagree with is just emotional”

        You’ll make a woman very unhappy one day with this logic.

          Thanks for proving my point. Taking two seconds to think about the trigger word list I put out would lead to the conclusion that no-one would support all of them.

          But yea, pop off trying to get a gotcha in. More power to you.

            You’re ignoring the relationship Ticketmaster plays with big venues. They collude and often serve as a lightning rod for anger for the venues, they deserve the ire. I might agree if this was an indie venue but it’s owned by MSG group and is thus absolutely a party to Ticketmaster’s BS.

              I’m not ignoring it but as you said, their role is to play the lightning rod. Why on earth are people falling for the lightning rod even after knowing about it and not complaining about the venue. Every single comment here is blaming the fall-guy exactly as designed. Why should they ever change their strategy - it’s working exactly as they want.

                I’ve got plenty of not nice things to say about TM, MSG, and James Dolan. They all deserve it. Unfortunately as you’ve said, the only option when you decide not to play their bs is to not go. We need better antitrust enforcement in this country.
