   @sternecker mmmhmmm. And the algorithmic pricing Ticketmaster does is basically scalping without the scalper. Shit's fucked.

     Live Nation is a scam.

     They are making money off the initial sale to the reseller, then linking to the reseller and making money off the resale.

     "Verified Resale Ticket $97.00 ea + Fees"

     @horse @sternecker how long can the market put up with this until we all demand to go back to only being able to buy tickets by standing in line outside of an actually ticket box office with other fans chatting about your fandom?

     @sternecker Oh yeah, well aware. I'm just saying that they don't even try to give the impression of it being a "resale" in those situations. Sorry for being unclear!
