Ticketmaster is by far the biggest scslper out there. They'll do nothimg until their profits are tangibly impacted.

Ticketmaster is going to crack down on checks notes itself? Has there ever been a situation when a company promised to regulate itself that went well?

yeah sure i believe them

Ticketmaster has long since enshittified into a monopoly that needs to grow so... now it chokes its customers dry. It's in the order of infinite growth with limited resources

It's all about marketing, thinking Ticketmaster said to themselves, if these scalpers are making so much money, we're missing out on profit, the crackdown on scalpers is probably more about trying to capture lost revenue. Hi, my first post on this site. :P

This is top comedy.

Breaking news: ticket master solves scalpers from purchasing tickers on their site, now sells ALL tickets to itself, and re sells at higher markup on their subsidiary's second hand ticket sale website.

And yet my account gets locked down due to suspicious activity when my boss sends me tickets to hockey games given to us by clients.

Bullshiiiit. Companies will never do things they think will lose them profits. I used to pay $18-$25 a ticket and now its hundreds for the nose bleeds. Its 100% because of ticket master and I have no faith they'll give those profits up. God they fucking suck.

Accepting a deal without admitting wrong doing, pay a token fine that looks big, but is really a pittance to these people.

Holy shit speaking of raw capitalism, I should start a hotline seeing as I'm psychic now!

I've heard this fairy tale before.

ill believe it when i see it. Ticketmaster has enabled this behavior for the longest time.

Why don't they just print the name of the purchaser on the ticket and require the person to have I'd when they show up to the venue?

Suuuure they will.
