$400 for a ticket on TM???
Hey
Ran into a couple guys that bought tickets day before Van show on TM ans paid $400 for them. How is it that that can happen? Was TM holding those tix till last minute and then charging crazy sums? Really shitty if thats the truth. They guys didnt think it was through an auction cause they didnt bid against other people to get the tix. This is so wrong IMO. Anyway I said I would post about it on the board. See what people have to say.

Now you can re-sell (scalp) your tickets on TicketBastard and the best part is, they get a second cut from you when you sell (one from the original purchase and one from the sale) and a third cut from the buyer.
So TM is just into scalping now.
Wonderful.
Ticket Exchange yeah right! :rolleyes: .....more like ticket ass raping!!! :mad:
TM has gotten into the scalping business as well, (to compete w/ Ebay/Stubhub) some states that allow scalping (depends on the location of the show), TM created "ticket exchange" where you can put up your tickets for re-sale... not all acts allow TM to do that either, but the nice thing is if you're a buyer, is that they are actually TM issued tix. You have to enter the bar code #'s and then if they sell, yours are canceled and they issue new ones to the buyer, unlike the risk you take w/ other sites. Of course TM takes ~10% from the seller, and the BS fees for the buyer, so they make about 20% *again* and only they can do that, since its their database that has all the UPC codes. Not that it matters, but they do limit the high end to 10x face value.

A couple of years ago, the Cubs opened a resale agency, something like Wrigley Field Ticket Service or similar. They were shut down because it was found out that they were simply taking tickets with a face value of $30 or so and not making them available to the general public. It is sad to say, this happens everywhere.
if no one bids higher, you get them the day the tixs go onsale
