I’ve never bought tickets for an event the day they go on sale.
So, my kid really wants tickets to see Tool in Boston but he’s camping with iffy internet so I try for him.
Tickets go on sale at 7:00AM west coast time, he lives east coast.
So, I log in under his account because they are only selling them electronically.
Good thing he drove to town because he/me still needed an authorization code to try to purchase.
I get in a queue, wait 20 minutes to finally try to buy a couple tickets. No luck.
Check back an hour later and there is a shit ton of tickets available, at a huge premium of course through TM by “confirmed resellers “ our what ever they referred them as.
Why with all the security to try and alleviate scalpers do they allow huge mark ups for their “preferred” resellers?
