We, the fans, have ultimate control over these companies. But we all need to be on the same page and not attend shows in which Ticketmaster is the only ticket distributor. This HAS to stop. This is sickening.<br><br>I just purchased U2 tickets from Ticketmaster which were double in price, from $40 to $80. I ended up paying about $100 once all of the ridiculous fees were applied. I love going to live shows, but I WILL not purchase tickets from Ticketmaster ANYMORE!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Otto]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2009 10:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ticketmaster Scalping Its Own Tickets on Secondary Web Sites]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/13/ticketmaster-scalping-its-own-tickets-on-secondary-web-sites/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/13/ticketmaster-scalping-its-own-tickets-on-secondary-web-sites/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is unfortunate that in this difficult economy Ticketmaster would be trying to pull this on thier ticket holders and on thier celebrity which offer  concerts, this affects both the consumer and the celebrity's bottom line.  The high ticket costs are keeping the consumer from purchasing the tickets and keeping the celebrity from selling their tickets.  <br><a href="http://www.savingshouse.info" rel="nofollow">http://www.savingshouse.info</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anna Cruz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2009 7:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ticketmaster Scalping Its Own Tickets on Secondary Web Sites]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/13/ticketmaster-scalping-its-own-tickets-on-secondary-web-sites/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/13/ticketmaster-scalping-its-own-tickets-on-secondary-web-sites/</guid><description><![CDATA[Please,  <br><br>TicketMaster has their hands in all the political and public things.

I personally quit going to concerts and playoffs, as the ticket process has become completely corrupt. When the Rockies went to the world series, most of the tickets ended up going to out of staters, as they changed the rules just before they went on sale, and you couldn't get them in person, only on the internet, then the local internet connections jammed up. The funny part is that everyone out of state had no problem getting in. <br><br>I am so over concerts and sporting events. We make them millions of dollars, and all they can do is whine like babies when they want more, or they turn to scams like this one to defraud joe american. I say screw them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2009 7:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ticketmaster Scalping Its Own Tickets on Secondary Web Sites]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/13/ticketmaster-scalping-its-own-tickets-on-secondary-web-sites/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/13/ticketmaster-scalping-its-own-tickets-on-secondary-web-sites/</guid><description><![CDATA[This smacks of illegality on a couple of counts, at least here in LA.<br>1) Anti-trust because seemingly all major events sell their tickets only through TM<br>2) Scalping is technically illegal in Los Angeles county.  If TM is redistributing to ticket resellers, they may be liable here too.<br><br>Any legal eagles out there....is there basis for class action suit against TM?  Collusion?  Racketeering?<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alan Prochaska]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 9th 2009 12:30PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
