Where can I purchase tickets?
Brokers bought all the $20 tickets and are now selling them for $100. Ticketmaster said there would be a 6 tickets minimum. They lie. Regular folks didn’t have a prayer getting a tickets less than $111. This is awful. Make some noise people! Protest this crap! If Ticketmaster can’t stop the brokers, start a company that can. Start a company that rivals Ticketmaster (like uber did for the cab company). There’s your billion dollar business idea!
There are no more $20 tickets, because Brokers bought them all and are now selling them for $100 or more. Here’s a business idea: start a company that rivals Ticketmasters. They said it would be a 6 ticket purchase limit, They lied. If they can’t stop the brokers, start a company that can. There’s your billion dollars business idea. I would invest in that start-up.
