all bands, my friends, all bands. ticketbastard does the same thing to any band with name recognition. why do you think wilco sold out so quick at 9:30? ticketbastard had already given half the tickets away to ticket brokers before they even went on sale. did anyone check ebay the day wilco tickets went on sale? atleast ten people had already been selling them two days prior. thank god polyphonic spree haven't "taken off" yet!!!
well, 930 club doesn't use ticketmaster.. . so, please explain how ticketmaster gave away tickets.
i will say that trying to get football tickets is a big pain cause the teams horde the tickets, and won't release them. . .was trying to get tickets to the chiefs/ravens game, and you could only buy 2 at a time. . i called their ticket office and asked them how could i buy 5 tickets, they said you can't. so, i explained to him that i was trying to get 5 for a party, and he said, you can't buy 5. . .so i said, how are people selling tickets already on ebay? he told me that those are season ticket holders selling them, upon which i asked, you mean season ticket holders can hold 20 seats? and he said, well, there are people here (meaning with the ravens) that own 300 seats. i mean, come on. . .give the fan a chance to take some people to the game at a decent cost. as it is, i'm probably gonna have to spend $100 for a $30 ticket.
