Trying to buy tickets to blink-182 this week confirmed to me that I am done with Ticketmaster. Even with a presale code and sitting in a digital waiting room for 30 minutes before tickets went on sale, I couldn’t find tickets that were a reasonable price. The cheapest I could find five minutes after the first presale started were $200 USD plus fees for back for the upper bowl. At that point, they weren’t even resellers. Ticket prices were just inflated from Ticketmaster due to their new “dynamic pricing”. To me that’s straight price gouging with fees on top. Even if I wanted to spend over $500 all in on two tickets for terrible seats, I couldn’t. Tickets would be snatched from my cart before or the price would increase before I could even try to complete the transaction. I’m speaking with my wallet. I’m not buying tickets to another show through Ticketmaster.
