It should be illegal to re-sell tickets. Like, if you bought tickets, and then found out you can't make it, you should be able to sell it back to the place you bought it from. But to buy a ticket and sell it for ten times what you bought it is just awful.
Companies that buy up a ton of tickets for the purpose of re-sale shouldn't be permitted to operate. That should be illegal.
But for an individual buyer it gets tricky. On the other side of the spectrum, if you buy a ticket for $100 and the show never sells out, and you get sick or whatever, you might have to sell it for $50 because no one will pay you $100 including the company you bought it from. So you take the loss and maybe you have to sell it privately because the company won't take it back because they don't offer that feature. But if the show sells out you can't sell it privately for a gain? Idk, I'd have to think on that.
I don't know the answer either, but maybe Elton John's farewell tour? Or the Rolling Stones? They easily sold out some huge venues.Originally Posted by Fro
Ticketmaster just cancelled the public ticket offering for the Taylor tour (non-pre-sale) because demand is too high and inventory is too low. Eh it's probably not really that interesting of a story but I keep seeing all this stuff on my twitter feed. Feels like she could double her tour stops and still sell them all out in a minute. Kinda crazy, Taylor fans now hate Ticketmaster but idk that it's their fault that 15 million people want these tickets.
Swifties are not blaming Ticketmaster for the high demand, but they are finding fault in Ticketmaster for not anticipating it. Ticketmaster knew how many pre-sale codes they had issued - again they were the ones who issued them, but they were not set up to handle anywhere close to that volume. 14 Million users tried to get tickets when they allocated 1.5 million for them. That's poor planning on Ticketmaster's end.
Thanks to the Youtube algorithm, I stumbled across a fantastic new artist that I'm really digging...
I think the original version of this song without Nicki is better. Her feature is kind of annoying. But the video is hot.
Listened to this 8 times in the past month, well 9 as I'm listening to it currently. Makes me happy and smile.
I really only know this album, Surrender, Block Rockin' Beats, and Galvanize though from the Chemical Brothers. I should check out their other albums.

The pop princess Britney
Wu-Tang Clan...I'm not really digging this but at least I'm venturing out of my comfort zone.
Recently rediscovered former Blossom co-star Joey Lawrence's self-titled debut album from 1993. I used to have it on cassette when I was about 10 years old and was pretty obsessed for a bit. Been spinning it pretty often the past few weeks and I gotta say, it's fun and catchy and corny and I fucking love it.
