TOPIC: Something pissing you off? Say it in here..

[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Saturday, June 04, 2011 2:16:51 PM

Ummm, yes that was an Abba song - how did you know THAT?! I unfortunately was a big Abba fan when I was 5 and those lyrics will never leave my brain, no matter how hard I try! DAMN IT!!

But I fear you are absolutely right, it's all about money and doing as little for it as possible. Screw the fans? Whatever, as long as the management makes money. I blame the band as well, because management works FOR THEM! If they don't say, hey, we want this to be a great fan experience and we want to do this, then management does what little they need to do to make the most cash. Makes me fucking sick.

Management are probably too busy negotiating to get Priest on Glee with "Parental Guidance" that ticket sales are of not their concern!
They know people will be there and it doesn't matter if u are a fan of 30+ years or 30+ nanoseconds!
They will make their money!
Money,money,money,in a rich man's world!
That was an Abba song i think?

Or

Pink Floyd:

Money!

LOFL!

And in my opinion they really don't care about the fans,it's all about the money!
After May 25th 2011 i rest my case!
And that is also my theory on why KK left!

These ticket resellers have contracts with Ticketbastard and get certain blocks of seats BEFORE tickets even go on sale. They already have tickets for shows that aren't even on sale yet by Ticketbastard on sale, like Chicago and Dallas!! WTF?!?!? So the diehard fans get completely screwed as usual, because the JP Management didn't put in the contract that these tickets would be blocked off. Fuck, they didn't even have to do meet and greets, they could have just sold those front row seats as package deals. I think Journey is doing that right now - they sell them at a higher price and you get a "gift bag" or something but you are gaurenteed the front rows! THAT is how bands are screwing Ticketbastard. But the JP management is too fucking lazy to think up ways to make sure that the people who deserve the front row seats get them.... I'm so pissed off right now....

I'm sure a bunch went to the radio stations as well. Those seats will be filled with idiots as usual, if they even go....

I know that some of the "ticket resellers" are companies owned by ticketbastard, or at least this is the case in canada. that might explain the first 10 rows thing. I have also seen concerts were the first 10 rows were held for media and radio station givaways. so they were actualy mostly empty at that venue.

		The story I'm reading about the good seats being gone sucks. What Guido said is funny but if it's not scalpers buying the tickets themselves then someone from ticketmaster gave them access to those tickets at a nice little profit. I've read stories in the past of ticketmaster dealing with scalpers to maximize profits. Maybe "American Idol" was a bad idea. Great for the band in terms of ticket demand but bad for the diehards. I love Priest but I hope it backfires. I'm hoping the demand for tickets isn't as great as expected and the scalpers(ticketmaster) get stuck holding those tickets and or selling them to people in the lot for discounted prices. I want the tour to be successful but I also want a fair chance at good seats. If Priest doesn't care about how the fans are being treated then why should I care how well they do on the tour. I guess in the end it's all about the dollar.
