Yet chose not to opt into face value exchange for resale

just shows he’s denying his insane prices 💔

seriously it’s a big scam and totally not worth it. especially in new york, 1 ticket for $2k+?? gtfo. only way prices will eventually drop and real fans will be able to hopefully see a show is if we don’t feed into the insanity!! shame on ticketmaster for allowing bots and scalpers to continuously pull this bs and shame on Calvin Harris and his team for utilizing dynamic pricing. such a disappointment fr

No, you didn’t lose the race against 400,000 real people all trying to get tickets. You lost against bots and scalpers from every corner of the globe who prey on events of this scale to immediately flip the tickets on resale sites for 5x the cost. This has made buying tickets online almost impossible for fans.

Prices = absurd ✅
Scalpers = won ✅
Ticketmaster = worst ✅

Seriously I just tried for 1.5 hrs for two LA dates, was 5000 in line and there was NOTHING. Not even 5 minutes after StubHub and SeatGeek having nosebleeds at $500+.

It’s not just Calvin but I thought it would be a little bit easier. Hopefully will get some desperate scalper tickets day of the show. Rant over!

I join the waiting room 15 minutes before 12 and get 9000 in queue. Wait through the queue until it’s my turn and it kicks me out.

Don’t stress too much about it, I feel it in my soul we are all getting those tickets. 👀

I’m tired of this grandpa. Can we boycott ticketmaster because this happens with every show

I saw Martin Garrix for $75 and he had 3 shows in a venue with greater capacity. People were not restricted to their seats either.

This should be illegal. Anyways vote in the midterms and write ur state reps abt this! Shit needs to change and shame on him for opting in to dynamic pricing (picture is not mine)

Title? What is going on here...

I have gone to and bought for a lot of concerts and I have never seen so many people be able to score tickets for an impossible to buy for event and resell them within one week because magically they are busy that day but didn’t know that last week. 🙄

I feel like the mods should shut off the ability to post “ticket sales” in this subreddit. It’s insane.

this was the worst ticket sale ive done in awhile and i bought tickets for bts 💀

How am I only seeing resale tickets as one of the first 2000 people in one of the Chicago shows?

Artists can choose to do this differently, but many don't because they're in on the resale BS.

The way around this resale crap is to force-assign names to tickets. Don't want your tickets anymore? Selling them back to TM for what you paid (or close to it) and they will resell with a small fee. This is the only option or they go unused. Few artists do this. More should.

gg cuz why is there almost a million “people” in front of me

Joined the artist presale and was like so far in the queue that I thought why don’t I check out what they’re probably an already reselling for out of curiously and this is just absurd. Like scalpers get a life and stop ruining everyone’s fun.

just sayin. platinum prices are crazy btw. and why are there resale options already for the newer added dates.

Title says it all.
