He should have done the dynamic pricing, would have made a killing Damn! I literally have never even heard of him until this post. Crazy how some things can still be so segmented between the US and UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy030 Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 The Taylor Swift pre sale has been a huge cluster fuck, not shocked after what we saw happen during Blinks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people/artists/bands can sell 800,000 tickets over 2.5 years?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioactive tomdog Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 apparently AFI is doing one arena show in LA for an album anniversary and the dynamic pricing bullshit has pit tickets at $1000. this is a band that's not even at a blink/paramore/tswift level with "casual" fans.

Knapppers Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Apparently Ticketmaster is under investigation from the Justice department for abusing their monopoly power?

kibbles Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Taylor Swift going in on ticketmaster. Much better than the defense Mark was doing. Damn guys I couldn't get tickets either, and the dynamic pricing is to stop scalpers! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 mark's response to it was weak. tom was probably told to take his down. travis didn't say shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 I looked up Taylor's response and I was ready to see something like "let's fight the system", but her actual response was basically "better luck next time I guess". Bruce Springsteen's response is also completely disappointing: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest Wankers Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 I feel like they're all in on it. Like a major insider secret between the major artists. Word probably traveled fast how they're making 4X (if not more) on ticket sales right now through dynamic pricing/ticketmaster, where they make most their money anyway. It's not like the artists made ticketmaster dynamic scamming, but they probably are nothing short of happy people are spending $1K to see them play sometimes. That adds up so quickly. Trying not to let it bother me personally with the artists, but I'm pretty convinced they are far from naive about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the option to turn dynamic pricing off. Ed Sheeran has done it and it was off for this Taylor Swift tour too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor is prob the most capitalist popular artist we have rn so her response was/is no surprise. Not trying to be a hater though, her business/marketing sense is p astonishing imo.
