Quoted from galore2112:FOMO on steroids. “Shreeeek I will NEVAR see Metallica if I don’t spend $1000+fees on a scalped ticket 1/4 mile from the stage in a 100000 people stadium!!!1!!!!!!!1 Lars marrrrrry me pleeeeeease!”
Ticketmaster isn’t the problem.
This isn't FOMO.
Just tried to buy tickets to see Death Grips within a minute of sales opening up to the general public. Sold out. Tickets relisted instantly at double the face-value on reseller sites.
Ticketmaster not only allows this behavior, they profit off of it. There is proof. They are, in fact, a major part of the problem. This is happening at almost every show, regardless of the size of the act. Ticketmaster has worked to create an obfuscated market and suck butts.
