I don't know how many of you pick up the latest news about ticketmaster....they are changing their ticket-buying system...they plan to cut into the action of scalpers with their new sales method. The plan is, tickets for any event will be auctioned on the web ... highest bidder getting the best seats.....so long to the days of equal opportunity and those long lines of diehard fans......now the lives of the rich are just a little bit better. Personally, I will not be able to outbid some rich asshole, so I am very imbittered by this news....I have been listening to the Pixies for over 15 years now, and if they do actually reunite and play in bigger venues....I know I will have to enjoy it from afar. FUCK TICKETMASTER!

that sounds weird. and stupid.

i don't see how that will prevent scalpers. there will always be scalpers.

i thoroughly agree with the "fuck ticketmaster" sentiment though...

I don't understand that... won't scalpers now be able to get more money from scalping?

This is ridiculous. It won't stop scalpers, it will just make their seat selection less desirable. So it not only means good seats will become unavailable to commoners like me, it means even shit seats are up for the highest bidder.

Nothing is ever something.

Of course they make it look like a way to curb scalping, while secretly fucking over the consumer. Shady tactics...hey, remember that Patriot Act!?
