Concert fans, I would have thought that Madonna and Ticketmaster would have acted a little more fair in their selling practice for her upcoming shows in North America. I went on line at 10am on the date of her upcoming show in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Showed it having nothing available, yet offered me the opportunity to purchase tickets from ticketsnow, a website that is for brokers to sell, that turns out ticketmaster owns. That website was offering tickets at 2x, 3x, and yes 5x the face value, yet at 1 minute after the show went on sale, the site had hundreds of tickets available. Oblivously ticketmaster didnt try to sell the tickets thru their own site, but making many times over the face value by selling them thru their own ticketboker site. Then i tried to purchase tickets 45 minutes later, and was offered poor seats in the back of the arena, then 80 minutes later i could purchase for a second show again bad seats for $385 per ticket!!! but then 20 minutes later better seasts became available, how is the possible? WE should get the best seats made available first, does ticketmaster hope as an idiot i would take the first crappy $385 seats, and pretend i was even lucky to get those?
Now i hear that ticketmaster has lots of tickets for both her shows, that are being sold thru ticketsnow, but as lack of demand start to show, ticketmaster willl release those great seats back on their system. Does Madonna realize she got screw over by ticketmaster? She doesnt care, as she instructed ticketmaster to provide hundreds of great seats for her own scapling system thru Stubhub.com, what happened to honest artists that care for their fans? First $385 tickets for anywhere in the lower bowl for the Toronto Shows, and then she offers the best seats thru her own scapling service deal with Stubhub, and then ticketmaster does a side deal with ticketsnow which is their own company..
If it looks like a skunk, and smells like a skunk, Madonna is a skunk, and ticketmaster as well.
