I FUCKING HATE THIS SERVICE. Assholes don’t let you delete your account and ask you to go to their privacy policy page and read through 500 pages of text to find the instructions on how to delete your account, only for it to say you have to contact them to delete it, and when you contact them they never respond back other than the automated email response. Absolute cancer that always adds on 20 extra dollars to all of your tickets at checkout time when seats are quickly selling out. FUCK THIS MONOPOLY AND FUCK THE CORPORATE DICK SUCKING MANIACS RUNNING IT.
The real place to direct your anger is towards the venues and bands that choose to sell tickets through TM.
A lot of that is out of band’s hands. Ticketmaster has, essentially, a monopoly on venues. It’s already incredibly hard to even make net zero on playing shows, getting picky about venues makes that almost impossible and relegates your band to shitty dive bars.
Didn’t they buy the firm that owns most of the venues in the US so bands don’t really have a choice?
They really have a choice, but they would make less money (unless everyone did)
