Kill the monopoly-stop Ticketmaster

July 14th, 2008 · 3 Comments

We knew something was fishy! Last week we tried to buy tickets to Eddie Vedder at the United Palace Theater in NYC.  Tickets went up on Ticketmaster.com at 1PM and at 1PM on the nose (we watched the time change from 12:59 as we were clicking through) tickets for each of the 2 nights were no longer available…

However, we were directed to what was sold as a ticketmaster sister site, Tickets Now.  We quickly realized that Tickets Now was no more than an online scalper with prices guaged from the original price of $79.00 a piece to topping $500.00.  The time? 1:01 PM.

Apparently we’re not the only ones having this problem. Click here about the fight to stop Ticketmaster.
