Ticketmaster to close its ticket touting site.

[Deleted User] · 2018-08-13 10:37:19

Irish Times reporting that Ticketmaster are to close its touting site Seatwave. Proper f**king order. Bad enough that this shower inflict ‘booking fees’ on people but to actually facilitate ticket touting was another order of sharp practice altogether.

Love how Ticketmaster are touting it as some kind of generous response to customer feedback, and not at all related to numerous government bodies in several countries investigating them and raiding offices of similar companies.

theyre a disgraceful lot altogether. they have their hands in all the pies of the other resale sites. a lad on joe duffy said his job is buying up concert tickets and putting them on sites like viagogo and seatwave
