Logged on to my Ticketmaster account this morning trying to get Stone Roses tickets. Thought I'd hedge my bets, so I had 2 tabs open - one for standing and one for seating. The ticket sale opened and I immediately got put in a queue with a 20 minute countdown. Waited for the countdown to finish only to be told the event had sold out (seating and standing) but I could purchase tickets from 'Get Me In' - the official Ticketmaster resale site. So I had a quick look - tickets on sale for £140 +, nearly three times the purchase price. This was 25 minutes after the tickets had gone on sale. How the fuck can Ticketmaster get away with it? They'll take another 10% commission on top of whatever they earned in the first place. It's fucking encouraging people to buy an extra ticket to sell and fleece anyone unlucky enough not to get one. Fuckers!
Then to make it worse, I came home this afternoon to find that another 2 dates had gone on sale and I'd missed the start of those too.
