Honestly, I hope they investigate Ticketmaster. The fact that resellers get their hands on the tickets so quickly and resell them for way more than the original price is ridiculous. I attended a Stray Kids concert in July and K-pop concerts are supposed to go from $49-$300. Floor seats were supposed to be $300, and resellers sold them for more than that. Mine ended up being $900. The same thing happened at a smaller venue for tomorrow x together. Scalpers sold them for thousands of dollars. I feel bad for Taylor Swift fans. Resellers can rot.
honestly yeah. I've heard just about every kpop fandom I can think of (rightfully) complaining about scalpers. it's always a bloodbath. I remember seeing tiktoks showing for some groups where almost an entire section was taken by resellers, and some groups with prices as high as $4k for a single seat. (that shit still haunts me lmfao. I'm just hoping no one actually bought those & the sellers ending up having to price them super low right before the concert, or something.) it's a bloodbath even with groups that do pre-sale memberships, like BTS and iirc TXT had a pre-sale as well. I was extremely lucky to have gotten non-resale tickets for TXT in july, cause I looked back later & everything left was like $400-1.2k. the fact that you had to pay $900 because of them is criminal fr.
I like how Ticketmaster tries to frame it as if it's the artists' choice to use them when they literally have contracts with every major venue that says "use us for ticketing or find a small venue that doesn't" and forces large shows to use them. K-pop fans have been screaming about Ticketmaster's unfair and incompetent practices for years so hopefully Swifties joining the fray will bring about some change.
@@kittyycaat_ yep I wrote a email to tickermaster back in October when I was trying to get BTS tickets and obviously I was ignored. I hate TM with a passion
@@yen-8680 everyone complained about ticketmaster before too, it's just the higher demand for taylor that meant a louder uproar which unleashed this chaos😭
Here in Mexico, the authorities are already investigating Ticketmaster. It all started with a music festival called Corona Capital. All the tickets were sold out, but people reported that their online tickets were getting canceled by Ticketmaster without a refund or explanation. Also, some self-proclaimed influencers were reselling several overprized tickets. One woman was selling 100 tickets, even when there was supposedly a maximum purchase allowed for each customer. The woman said she was making a colab with Ticketmaster, that she was approached by them to resell the tickets. Ticketmaster denied it and now they're suing her. And even when you went to buy tickets from a physical authorized store, there were people reporting that they weren't allowed inside the concert because their tickets were duplicated, so the sit was already taken (this happened in Dua Lipa's concert). They're all suing Ticketmaster.
It's the fact that some of those tickets could literally pay someone's rent for an entire year or even buy a small house with that money. Ticketmaster was literally scamming people.
I would put partial blame on her IF she didn't speak out. But she did she did everything she could do and I don't like her, I never have but she's not the reason for this. Ticketmaster and their monopoly are the reason
exactly. This is already out of Taylor's control as she believed that these sellers will do their effin job correctly. And I have to say it, when that woman says that whenever she hears Taylor's voice she's triggered? Seriously Ma'am, Taylor is not the one sitting in front of her computer doing Customer Service work for tickets. It's not her fault. These adults. I can't sometimes.
honestly… i hate ticketmaster. for BlackPink ALL the tickets ended up being resell tickets and i was one of the first in- like how would that happen? the prices are like RIDICULOUS too. i really hate it. the tickets seem to always end up in the grasp of resellers and the site seems to crash right when you’re about to buy seats and then you see the SAME tickets being resold for like 10x more expensive than the original price.
@@HahaGoCry the way you’re handling this just proves that you’re upset in some capacity. that’s okay though, clearly you have plenty of time to spend online 🤭
I think a lot of people forget that Taylor Swift has a contract with Ticketmaster. There are things that she contractually can not do or say right now.
But if they broke the contract then she has the right to speak out about it. The contract have to be both way, both party needs to uphold the contract.
@@sowhat1674 just because they broke it first doesn't mean she can say what she wants. They can still try to use it against her in court, and a good portion of judges will let them. It's a business and legal mpve.
@@sowhat1674 tbh my first thought was for Taylor to completely break the contract with ticketmaster but then it would be unfair for the 2 million fans who have paid and got their tickets from ticketmaster. There's nothing she could do, really.
Last year my mom was getting us tickets for BTS in LA and I had THE earliest access because they let people who had tickets from the 2020 canceled tour go first. My mom told me she was in the process of checking out three times and it kicked her out and had to start over until eventually she was able to get something. I saw on twitter others were not so lucky and a lot of people got kicked out and were not able to get back in. Even when i got tickets for their 2020 tour (which I did myself) it was a horrible experience and took me like two hours. It sucks how much of a chokehold ticketmaster has on concert ticketing because they are truly awful
Same here I had the MOTS code and I still got tickets but they were in the 400s. For mots I had the best seats and I'll always be sad that I lost those tickets bc of c19. It also kicked me out several times and I honestly cried and almost gave up. The worst part was seeing tickets that i had in my cart before i got kicked out were bought by resellers and the price was wayyyy more then they ever should have been. BTS have always had pair pricing compared to other people I have seen and it's unfair that scalpers take advantage of that.
@@ashalaya it's what makes me upset, they do fair prices for ARMYs and then scalpers hike up the price and take advantage of us. I just hope all of this is fixed by 2025. There's no way I'm missing when they come back.
OMFG SAME. When it came to PTD in Las Vegas, I was literally still at school trying to get tickets but in the end i didnt even bother buying some because of the queue and crashing. In the end I bought floors seat, 8 rows away from the stage for around 600 each from a reseller. It was my first time too goingg to a concert and buying tickets.
I had also bought tickets for the 2020 concert but luckily mine only came out to 275 each because I was able to get in within 15 minutes. I got floor seats about 2 rows from the main stage but since it was canceled I had to try again for tickets to ptd on stage la 2021 and still ended up with floor tickets but 10 rows farther🥹. But ptd Las Vegas was SOMETHING ELSE. I tried so hard to get something good but all floor tickets were expensive as heck because of resellers so I ended up at the tippy top which wasn’t good for my fear of heights but I pushed through and the concert was great just wish there was a limit on how much someone can resell a ticket for cause it’s ridiculous seeing soundcheck resells go for 10k.
I feel so bad for all the young kids who look up to her, and got scammed by ticket master. It's so sad. It really hurts seeing that girl cry. At that age, music is LIFE.
I had an experience to this about 3 years ago trying to get MCR tickets, and the wait in the cue I had was just less than an hour. It’s so annoying the monopoly on concert tickets have become for these big companies. They don’t care about the fans at all and leave the artist with an upset fan base.
I sat through the queue, and failed. There were no tickets left by the time it got to my turn. I only got tickets 3 days before the actual concert, due to people reselling on Ticketmaster. I did, however, get them at face value that MCR originally sold them for.
BRO THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS LITERALLY ON FOR MCR MINUTE THEY RELEASED BUT I SOMEHOW GOT KICKED OUT. lucky o had 5 friends get in like with me and one of them got tickets for me (tru homies) but yeah no fuck Ticketmaster holy shit
The sad thing is, unless they really get punished for their shady business they won't care. TM has so much power when it comes to live shows and not only in the US, they're the monopoly in other countries too. Kpop fans have been suffering from this for years now and it sucks
But see the thing is this doesn't only happen to Taylor Swift. This has happened for BTS and My Chemical Romance and just sooooo many other huge artists. Fans get fucked over because of TicketMaster and Scalpers and it has got to end. I wish the artists and the Fandom boycotted TicketMaster. Send them a huge message that without us you're nothing.
They literally can't boycott ticketmaster, they have no choice if they want to tour on big stadiums, since ticketmaster has a contract of exclusivity with the majority of them
@@aidentan6547 isn't that monopoly? can't they be sued or investigate, is suspicious, the other way to boycott is no buying from scalpers but people wish for concerts is big, but if is that expensive, I wonder how many actually pay those
Okay, but she doesn’t address the scalpers, and that’s what pisses me off. Ticketmaster even has a history of putting tickets DIRECTLY into scalpers hands.
I work in ticketing for live events and my colleagues have worked high up in Ticketmaster, our clients left TM for us. Ticketmaster DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS OR CUSTOMERS.
Why does ticketmaster even allow people to sell tickets for more than they bought them for or upscale. No ticket should be more than $300. And why tf is their service fees so much. My 40 dollar tickets went up to 80 with fees, charges and insurance on my tickets. That's crazy
I remember trying to get tickets for twice and them being sold out, and when I saw it the resellers were selling it for 10,000. I cried because I couldn't go to see them
I love Taylor Swift, but I hate concerts so I didn’t even want to try, but seeing that one girl who was sobbing hard in the beginning makes me so sad, I understand that for most people, concerts are a huge thing and I hope this get fixed so that fans can finally just have fun and not be sobbing over how they we’re treated. This makes me unbelievably angry.
I'm not surprised this happened. When I went to get tickets for Stray Kids in April, every time I chose a seat, it continously kicked me out. Eventually, I just said screw it and bought my tickets from StubHub.
@@xox.sloane you can also wait until the date of the concert gets close. I went to see BTS in New Jersey and some girls i met bought floor tickets that same day. Resellers put the price down once they see no one is going to pay $7000 for a ticket.
@@xox.sloane It's pretty reliable. A lot of people I know have gotten tickets from there and haven't had an issue. I would avoid Ticketfaster, though. A lot of people think it's associated with Ticketmaster but it's not. Many people have complained about the tickets not coming on time or being fake.
TicketMaster has been taking advantage of concert goers for YEARS. The fees are the reason I haven't been to an event in a very long time. Also, the people crying over this are very lucky & entitled for this 1st world problem to be their main issue.
Thank you.. ive not seen anyone else commenting about how ridiculous and out of touch these people's reactions are. That "triggered" girl especially pissed me off, as someone who struggles w real triggers 💀 I understand it sucks not being able to see your favorite artist- and i get that first world problems are problems too but at some point you have to step back and have enough decency to not post a video of you crying over them 💀💀
yea i think crying over it is a little much! although i can completely understand the other side as someone w autism it can be overwhelming to wait for hours to not even know if ur getting a ticket it can cause alot of anxiety! but at the same time i do feel like crying is a bit of an over reaction to not getting taylor swift tickets!
freaking thank you! it’s a privilege to afford a concert at all- but it’s a shame not to mention all the people who consider it a huge treat to get to go to a 50-100$ show only to get scammed by ticketmaster when they can afford it. they sell so many bad tickets for small live shows where you can only purchase a ticket through the venue. I can’t imagine how much money they must make off of unsuspecting parents and friends who get scammed trying to buy a ticket online for a loved one they’ve heard talking about how much they love a band or artist.
While, yes, it's a first world problem you also have to remember a lot of these Taylor Swift fans are younger. They don't really know how to handle their emotions. For example, when I was 15 my favorite band was CKY. We found out they were going to be at a skate shop signing autographs before heading to their show. We got there 5 minutes after they left. I silently cried in the car all the way home (still have the hat I wanted them to sign too). Again though, I was 15, didn't have a grip on my emotions & the most I was worrying about was whether or not I'd pass a math test. Same could be said with a lot of these fans. With some of the older fans, yea, it's weird. Honestly if I spent like 5 hours in a queue only to be booted off & sent back to the beginning I'd be more pissed then emotional.
i’m early! i know many people weren’t pleased with her response but she didn’t choose this. as i commented on the past video, ticketmaster has been pulling shit like this for a while, it’s just that this time it occurred on a massive scale and caught more attention. i was fighting for my life getting bts tickets and again for these tickets. ticketmaster’s system is flawed. it’s a damn shame.
This is Taylor Swift we’re talking about not some no name artist. She has the ability to call out TM publicly and choose to not work with them. She can easily find different non traditional venues that would support her performance and make it into a movement. This is partially Taylor’s fault. I would say like 30% her fault. She has power, her voice moves industry’s. She has money. She has the tools. She has the support. Imagine her not using TM and supporting alternative venues and calling TM out. Then let’s say TM sues her for that. That would be a near death sentence to TM. The amount of fans that would stop using TM all over the world is insane. Taylor has power!
@@evilsanta8585 Are you calling the biggest boy band in the world and current 5 grammy nominations artist BTS a no name 🤔they sell out stadiums in seconds, you think they don’t have power lol ?
People please STOP buying from resellers. Just stop. Make them ruin themselves, buying tickets they'll never resell. It's NOT worth it. No artist is worth you putting money into some bullshit scammer. None. And i swear to you it will NOT hurt the artist, if anything it'll lit a fire under the sellers/resellers website because *the ones with the power* will get annoyed, seeing their supposedly sold out show with lots of empty seats. Also stop buying overpriced "spend .2 seconds with the artist and watch the rehearsal" tickets that's a whole another scam please and thanks
This has been an issue people have been screaming about for a while but now that the swifties have been done dirty it's now a big problem and needs to be investigated
@@honeybunmoth its pretty simple, ticketmaster has monopoly over ticket sales, so most artist cant stand up against them in fear of what ticketmaster would've done to them, and the fan's cries just simply aren't big enough for ticketmaster to care. The reason why it's a problem now is that the swifties are a huge fanbase and Taylor Swift is one of the biggest celebrities right now. The role has changed and ticketmaster cant just ignore it like they always do. Knowing these, alot of people speak up against ticketmaster and demand an investigation
Honestly I'm just scared for the UK leg of the tour. We have presale codes via buying the midnight's album but we're scared that Americans are gonna be buying most of them so we can't go to our own shows here. And also the people with Loverfest tickets when it got cancelled due to covid should have had priority to this
It will be especially hard since many uk cities don’t have many, or any stadiums. Here in Glasgow we have 3 but only one gets used for concerts, and that’s only in the summer I think. And other cities here in Scotland have stadiums that aren’t even used in concerts. So many swiftes from up here will be gunning to even get a ticket. This could possibly get even worse than the US leg.
I've had the exact same problem with Shawn Mendes tickets for his past two tours. I'm glad TicketMaster is finally going under fire. Something has to be done. It's the worst feeling ever not being able to see your favourite singer because of "site crashing" 😢
I’ve been through this process for all three of BTS’ concerts (original in LA before covid, PTD at Sofi, and PTD in Vegas), and every single time it’s extremely stressful. Ticketmaster charges sooo much in fees for a shitty service 🤷♀️
I hate how all these news articles say the "resale" sites are selling for tickets up to $400-500, but when you go on their actual website, majority of tickets are selling for $1000+, soo crazy. TS happens to be my fave artist. Ill just see her and no one else in the next 20yrs 🤣🤣😭😔
Honestly I didn’t even get a chance to look at the prices for the tickets I’m so upset by that… at this point stadiums and the record label company’s should work together and sell the tickets themselves on the artist’s website to ensure that fans actually get the tickets
I cannot justify spending *that* much money just to see someone sing a few songs for an hour or two. Messed up situation all around, but god damn. 100k+??
@@larzaedandrea6499 and the rise of Kpop has given this more attention, it’s been going on since Ticketmaster started but now it’s really getting a spotlight.
Ive always had a problem with Ticketmaster!!! I planned on not going to the Taylor Swift concert because I know there’s people that love her more than me. But I am so glad this is finally being discussed. One of the main reason I don’t go to concerts anymore because these service fees cost as much or more than the ticket itself!
I had bought $800 dollars worth of tickets (just 3) for a certain group literally a few month before covid had ever became a thing. The concert was postponed for a year and ended up being cancelled. WELL they apparently did refunds but I haven’t gotten my $800 back. Still no matter how many times I reach out to them, nothing
@@rachelc4457 I have talked to three different people at different times, and they all say the same thing which is them not being able to do anything about it. 😭
My sister was in tears all day because we asked her to get tickets for everyone. I'm OUTRAGED at the suspicious actions of TicketMaster. Thank you for this video. It made us all feel very validated. I'm hoping Taylor will offer a virtual ticket for those who couldn't get physical ones. I still want to be a part of the experience!!!
Hola teaspill, espero que haya alguien aquí que hable español, en mi país (chile) esto también sucede, la locura por que un artista venga a latinoamerica es brutal, la venta de entradas se vuelve una locura y pasa lo mismo que con la plataforma de ticketmaster, al querer comprar una entrada en la plataforma puntoticket, debes hacer una fila virtual que es aleatoria (como varios indican), por lo que si al evento que quieres asistir es muy masivo, probablemente tengas que aplicar técnicas como meterte desde varios computadores, lo cual es horrible, el sentimiento de frustación al ver que no vas a alcanzar una entrada, para "el show" que hará el artista, no es culpa de ellos, es culpa de quienes venden los tickets. Y ni hablar de las reventas, que suelen ser a precios abusivos, por ejemplo una entrada que normalmente cuesta 20 mil CLP, sube a 200 mil o hasta más. Qué suerte tienen de que taylor haya hablado de este problema con la venta de entradas, muchos artistas no dicen nada públicamente :(
Pensé que sería la única chilena sintiendo que esto es nuestra realidad para caaada concierto últimamente 😂 sufrí tanto por no alcanzar entradas para Bad Bunny por la maldita fila virtual, que la decepción me llevo a comprar entradas revendidas, tuve suerte en encontrar una niña honesta que me vendió las suyas a precio justo y pude ir 🥹 me parece genial que esta problemática se haga mundialmente reconocida porque realmente deben hacer algo al respecto y mejorar el sistema de venta para los concierto saludosss ✌🏻
@@Milaboredonyt por culpa del sistema de venta de tickets es que no he ido a ningún concierto, siento que se vuelve un momento de ansiedad cada vez que uno quiere ingresar a la página y al final entras sin esperanza, sólo depende de la suerte y tu internet, qué bueno que pudiste ir al show de bad bunny, saludos!
They should have a rule where tickets are unique to the buyer and cannot be resold. If they really want to resell, then it should be the same value as the retail and the app can show transfer of ownership for the new buyer of the ticket, idk.
I waited in the queue for hours, got to pick my tickets, had then in my cart, then the site crashed and I'm put in the back of the queue. It was infuriating, but I figured I'd try again for the public sale. So when that got canceled, that's when I starting fuming. The whole experience was a nightmare. But the worst part to me is seeing so much hate fall onto Taylor. I can’t imagine how stressed she’s feeling after all this mess. Ticketmaster is the one to blame for all of this, not her and I hope we as swifties can do SOMETHING, even if it’s small, and bring about some change in the ticketing industry.
tbh this has been happening for years. the same thing happened to me when i went to buy tickets to harry’s 1st solo tour i was in a queue of over 2000 before it kicked me off the site right as i was about to buy tickets. its nothing new
I was able to purchase 3 tickets and it was so easy for me, I got a code… waited in line… and even got a moment to pick and plan out where we wanted to sit. I only waited 2 hours in the queue. I feel so bad and honestly guilty that this was my experience and obviously not what everyone else experienced. This is so backwards and screwed up, I blame Ticketmaster 100%.
Just curious : what show was it for ? Bc I had the same experience for the Glendale show : I did wait in the queue 5 hours but once I got it it was smooth. Except that one was specifically through seat geek
Honestly the fact this is just being talked about is crazy to me because this also happened with the Olivia Rodrigo tour and i was picked for presale and had the tickets in my cart and ticketmaster repeatly kicked me out and then blocked me from getting back in and once i was able to get back in all of the tickets were sold out and the tour sold out during presale and i got screwed and same thing with Blackpinks tour i was picked for presale and they had me wait an hour in Queue when i arrived early in line and once i got in everyone bought everything and ticketmaster wouldnt let me make a purchase on any seats unless i wanted to pay reseller prices so i missed out on that tour to
The same thing happened when I was trying to get BTS tickets, they sold out during pre sale and then nothing was left over what made me mad was scalpers bought so many and they changed thousands for tickets thay were originally sold for hundreds. I hate ticketsmaster and how they don't care about resellers over charging. I hope something changes
The entire ticket buying experience was complete chaos. I was waiting in the queue before work so my dad took over for me, but it took us a combined 5 hours and even once he was in he said every time he clicked on a ticket it was already in someone’s cart. He eventually go them but it was the worst ticket buying experience I’ve ever had, which says a lot because I’ve had some pretty bad ones. One of my best friends is in a wheelchair and every time we try to go to some event Ticketmaster makes it impossible putting handicap accessible seats behind presales and it is absolutely infuriating
I waited from 10-8 on Tuesday, only for it to tell me Ticketmaster was unable to process my request on my device. I was fortunate enough to have been able to use a friends Capital One card on the presale on Wednesday, and I got a ticket. It genuinely makes me sick to my stomach to know other people didn’t get tickets, this entire thing should have been handled much differently.
I never had any interest in going to concert until Black Pink. I had not much knowledge with concert tickets process, and when I went to get tickets for black pink, I was stunned that some of the tickets for GA were up to $1500. This video explains why.
I honestly hate Ticketmaster because of how much they over charge! I always have to watch what I'm buying from them because it will go up 100-300 within seconds! I don't believe Ticketmaster at all when they said they did this so "bots" couldn't buy tickets. I'm sorry but they did and to me Taylor isn't worth 100k for w ticket
My friend got tickets for her concert at sofi stadium and she had to wait a while. I feel so bad for those who waited 5 hours and got nothing wtf Ticketmaster do better .
I didn't try and get Taylor tickets, but I've had this issue for years in the UK with Ticketmaster, Live Nation and Gigs and Tours. These website are so scammy and they get away with it cause it's the main (if not only way) people can go see their favourite artists on tour.
I feel sorry for those people in that Que, honestly that frustration is next level. When my country (Ireland) opened international borders after Covid, you needed an EU Covid pass to leave the country and I’d didn’t get mine and I wasn’t the only one, it was a huge backlog. I was on hold for 5 hours and 45 mins when I got cut off. It’s honestly the worse feeling ever. It took me 5 Attempts over a week. Total of 10+ hours to get through to someone. It came a week before my flight
I think it would have helped if Taylor’s team waited until they announced international tour dates to do ticket sales because it would have cooled the demand down for the united states leg shows
Same thing happened with me when I was trying to get tickets to see BTS. I had 2 tickets in my cart, got kicked out and then those exact same tickets were being sold for thousands right after they were literally stolen from my cart while I was checking out, it's so unfair. I hate how TM allows this to keep happening
Here in the Netherlands we have a company that manages most of the concert and festival resellers. They can only be sold for 20% than they were bought for. It's a nice system, cuz sure you can still make a profit, but it's not in the thousands of euros. Also, a lot of, if not most of, the ticket sellers in the Netherlands have a limit of 5 or 10 tickets per person to buy. This helps to make sure that reselling tickets isn't a way to make a living, just some extra cash. Of course, it isn't perfect, but it sounds a lot better than whatever is going on in the US at the moment with Taylor Swift tickets.
Adding dynamic pricing to the conversation, i saw people on twitter buying tickets for the same section and paying very different amounts for their tickets... I don't understand how this is legal? And TM charging insane service fees ($100+ for some) when this is the service they provide??? I'm glad the department of justice is looking into this
I love going to concerts and I was really hoping that I’d be able to go to my first Taylor Swift concert (been listening to her since the beginning, but really wanted to go to see her after her 1989 album, one of absolute fave albums)but because of this shit show and scalpers, looks like it’s gonna be alot harder to get a ticket than I thought… scalpers can go and rot and ticketmaster needs to be looked into, immediately (even though this has been going on for a long time).
Not going to lie, I haven’t even told anyone besides my sister that I got tickets because of this situation. I understand that people were having issue with Ticketmaster and I was lucky enough that as soon as I got in to get tickets I was able to purchase them. I had to wait 1 hour and during that time I was driving to work. I literally was putting my card information in when I got off the freeway. It makes me sad to see that other people were unable to get tickets.
Money’s always been tight for me, and so I didn’t try to get tickets even though I was able to get a code. My husband knew how much I’ve been dying to see Taylor for the last 10 years and tried to surprise me and used my code, but by the time he got through the prices were so high we couldn’t possible afford it. I was already sad about going another tour without getting to see Taylor, but the look on my husband’s face when he showed me the prices and told me there was no way we could afford to go made it so much worse... 🥺
Why can’t there be a stipulation that you cannot resell tickets. If you cannot attend you forfeit the tickets to the vendor (only put a cancel fee if within a certain time).
Ticketmaster was doing this in Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC, Britny, and Christina days as well. The only difference we had to wait in malls and stores for hours to get tickets. And those tickets were triple or more the prices of the average mortgages at the time. So about the same price as they sell tickets today.
more and more smaller venues and artists are refusing to have any affiliation with 3rd parties like ticketmaster… so tell me why you can still buy(and so many people get sold) tickets for almost any show that only accepts tickets purchased through the venue on TM? it’s basically a rite of passage in my city to spend 50-100$ on at least one bunk ticket from ticketmaster for a local show at least once.
This has been happening for years in the tech industry. Hell the PlayStation VR 2 went on sale Tuesday, where it was schedule to officially hit the store front at 11a.m. Bots had most of it bought out and taken by 10:30am. I’m happy it’s finally being addressed but it’s been happening in other industries for years.
My dad waited in the queue for over 5 hours. He managed to get tickets and I'm so so grateful that he did! They were 2 tickets for nosebleeds for Chicogo night 2. I think they were around 300, and I don't know if that includes fees or not, but I'm just so happy u get to go.
Tiktok and Ticketmaster screwed over ghost fans a similar way after their song became a hit. Made tickets go up by like 300 minimum when they were already a few hundred. Thanks for speaking on this! I am starting to think scalping should be made illegal
I'm pretty sure ticket master isn't available in my country anymore, and any big events use Howler. The price is so much lower with them and I've been able to go to way more events. The consumer protection laws in America are really bad compared to the rest of the world and that's probably why they've gotten away with this for so long. I hope artists start pulling away and use an alternative because it's horrible to essentially bankrupt yourself so you can see your favourite singer
I waited 8.5 hours, didn’t get ticket and cried, then had to purchase tickets from a resale site (not as insane as some people are asking, but still) I am so sorry for anyone else who also had to go through this.
@@adamd6648 my tickets were about $800 each, which is double what they paid for the ticket however the tickets I had in my cart 4. Separate. Times. on Ticketmaster were within $100 of what I ended up paying for them (which is the only reason I went for them).
People posting videos of themselves sobbing and haveing complete meltdowns look ridiculous and need to get over themselves. You're not a child, you can't throw a tantrum just because you didn't get your way. She'll tour again.
I had the luck of getting tickets after waiting from 7am to 5pm. I do feel for the people that also waited hours to buy tickets, but it sickening to see people so entitled on twitter. From blaming Taylor to outright destroying any merch/photo they had with her. I really hope they do investigate Ticketmaster, because I got upper deck seats(not nosebleed seats, towards lower deck) and they were nearly $300, and floor seats were literally $700+(at SoFi). In other arenas I saw that people got floor tickets for that same price, wtf TicketMaster
I had a horrible experience on Tuesday (6 hours with no tickets to show for it) but on Wednesday I got floor seats for $299 each! I am grateful it worked out but I'm so sad that it didnt for so many people
I’m so thankful for the fact that reselling tickets for a higher price is illegal in my country. But oh god, trust me, I hate Ticketmaster so much… I have had so many problems with them
I’ve been saying that ticketmaster is the worst ESPECIALLY since the new “Platinum pricing” bs. That way when tickets first go on sale all of the big fans that have been waiting until on sale time end up paying hundreds of dollars for GA due to the demand when they should be under $100… then of course they get resold for even more. I tried to get imagine dragons tickets and when they went on sale there were no tickets under $500 which to me is insane. I will NOT pay that much for a single show. This is why now I’m trying to only attend independent venues in my area, but there’s only 2 left now because the other one got bought out by Livenation… and the ticket prices have at least tripled
Ticketmaster need to find the codes for the tickets that are being resold for ridiculous amounts and just cancel those tickets and sell them again for sale price! The person/bot will lose their money and the tickets go back into circulation for real fans to buy!!!
here in australia the ticket can only be resold at 10% higher [the max limit] than the original price. which seems far. something similar should happen in the USA.
I was trying to sell my extra tickets to the trinity of terror tour for Baltimore and I just had to deal with the loss. Ticketmaster wouldn’t let me even transfer my tickets so I could give them away
I couldn’t even log in. I can’t imagine trying to get tickets. Customer service was non existent. Everyday I pray more of my favorite bands don’t go viral like PTV did bc that was a nightmare too

Honestly, I hope they investigate Ticketmaster. The fact that resellers get their hands on the tickets so quickly and resell them for way more than the original price is ridiculous. I attended a Stray Kids concert in July and K-pop concerts are supposed to go from $49-$300. Floor seats were supposed to be $300, and resellers sold them for more than that. Mine ended up being $900. The same thing happened at a smaller venue for tomorrow x together. Scalpers sold them for thousands of dollars. I feel bad for Taylor Swift fans. Resellers can rot.
Us kpop fans have been complaining for so long about Ticketmaster I’m so glad people are finally paying attention
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that people behind the scenes are reselling the tickets themselves.
Yep they're being investigated by the Justice Department
honestly yeah. I've heard just about every kpop fandom I can think of (rightfully) complaining about scalpers. it's always a bloodbath. I remember seeing tiktoks showing for some groups where almost an entire section was taken by resellers, and some groups with prices as high as $4k for a single seat. (that shit still haunts me lmfao. I'm just hoping no one actually bought those & the sellers ending up having to price them super low right before the concert, or something.)
it's a bloodbath even with groups that do pre-sale memberships, like BTS and iirc TXT had a pre-sale as well. I was extremely lucky to have gotten non-resale tickets for TXT in july, cause I looked back later & everything left was like $400-1.2k. the fact that you had to pay $900 because of them is criminal fr.
Aha same happened with TWICE in both Feb and May.
I like how Ticketmaster tries to frame it as if it's the artists' choice to use them when they literally have contracts with every major venue that says "use us for ticketing or find a small venue that doesn't" and forces large shows to use them. K-pop fans have been screaming about Ticketmaster's unfair and incompetent practices for years so hopefully Swifties joining the fray will bring about some change.
As a BTS fan, this is so true.
@@kittyycaat_ yep I wrote a email to tickermaster back in October when I was trying to get BTS tickets and obviously I was ignored. I hate TM with a passion
They only do something when it happened to Taylor…. Others are ignored apparently
@@yen-8680 everyone complained about ticketmaster before too, it's just the higher demand for taylor that meant a louder uproar which unleashed this chaos😭
tell ‘em. it wasn’t THIS bad for bts tickets but good lord, it was horrible.
Here in Mexico, the authorities are already investigating Ticketmaster. It all started with a music festival called Corona Capital. All the tickets were sold out, but people reported that their online tickets were getting canceled by Ticketmaster without a refund or explanation. Also, some self-proclaimed influencers were reselling several overprized tickets. One woman was selling 100 tickets, even when there was supposedly a maximum purchase allowed for each customer. The woman said she was making a colab with Ticketmaster, that she was approached by them to resell the tickets. Ticketmaster denied it and now they're suing her.
And even when you went to buy tickets from a physical authorized store, there were people reporting that they weren't allowed inside the concert because their tickets were duplicated, so the sit was already taken (this happened in Dua Lipa's concert). They're all suing Ticketmaster.
Oh that's terrible for the people who missed out on tickets but I'm glad ticketmaster is getting what's coming to them
Oh wow! I hope something happens and they change
that is too much. i’m kind of lucky i went to see a smal indie band recently so resellers didn’t care
It also happened with Bad Bunny here in Mexico!! They kicked you out just when you where about to have tickets!!
Isn’t your government crooked anyway? I thought Mexico was poor? If you all can afford concert tickets then why are you flooding into our country?
It's the fact that some of those tickets could literally pay someone's rent for an entire year or even buy a small house with that money. Ticketmaster was literally scamming people.
It’s not Taylor’s fault and seeing people blame her makes me so mad istg😭
It’s always the people in charge…. She’s just the artist let’s be honest here.
It’s pissing me off so much. These adults acting like children are saying how much they love her but are so upset with her and I’m like ITS NOT HER.
Can't people just chill out when it comes to blaming someone or mistaking them
I would put partial blame on her IF she didn't speak out. But she did she did everything she could do and I don't like her, I never have but she's not the reason for this. Ticketmaster and their monopoly are the reason
exactly. This is already out of Taylor's control as she believed that these sellers will do their effin job correctly. And I have to say it, when that woman says that whenever she hears Taylor's voice she's triggered? Seriously Ma'am, Taylor is not the one sitting in front of her computer doing Customer Service work for tickets. It's not her fault. These adults. I can't sometimes.
honestly… i hate ticketmaster. for BlackPink ALL the tickets ended up being resell tickets and i was one of the first in- like how would that happen? the prices are like RIDICULOUS too. i really hate it. the tickets seem to always end up in the grasp of resellers and the site seems to crash right when you’re about to buy seats and then you see the SAME tickets being resold for like 10x more expensive than the original price.
Of course they don't give a fuck, at the end they still got their money from the ticket bought by the reseller.
@@HahaGoCry that was your experience, in talking about MY experience

Fr why so expensive
Yeah I know I can’t even go because it’s too expensive
I think a lot of people forget that Taylor Swift has a contract with Ticketmaster. There are things that she contractually can not do or say right now.
But if they broke the contract then she has the right to speak out about it. The contract have to be both way, both party needs to uphold the contract.
@@sowhat1674 just because they broke it first doesn't mean she can say what she wants. They can still try to use it against her in court, and a good portion of judges will let them. It's a business and legal mpve.
@@sowhat1674 nope
@@sowhat1674 tbh my first thought was for Taylor to completely break the contract with ticketmaster but then it would be unfair for the 2 million fans who have paid and got their tickets from ticketmaster. There's nothing she could do, really.
Hopefully she gets those world class lawyers of hers on it.
Last year my mom was getting us tickets for BTS in LA and I had THE earliest access because they let people who had tickets from the 2020 canceled tour go first. My mom told me she was in the process of checking out three times and it kicked her out and had to start over until eventually she was able to get something. I saw on twitter others were not so lucky and a lot of people got kicked out and were not able to get back in. Even when i got tickets for their 2020 tour (which I did myself) it was a horrible experience and took me like two hours. It sucks how much of a chokehold ticketmaster has on concert ticketing because they are truly awful
Same here I had the MOTS code and I still got tickets but they were in the 400s. For mots I had the best seats and I'll always be sad that I lost those tickets bc of c19. It also kicked me out several times and I honestly cried and almost gave up. The worst part was seeing tickets that i had in my cart before i got kicked out were bought by resellers and the price was wayyyy more then they ever should have been. BTS have always had pair pricing compared to other people I have seen and it's unfair that scalpers take advantage of that.
@@jray5907 exactly!!!! I’m thankful they haven’t done dynamic pricing but scalpers are still scalping 🥲
@@ashalaya it's what makes me upset, they do fair prices for ARMYs and then scalpers hike up the price and take advantage of us. I just hope all of this is fixed by 2025. There's no way I'm missing when they come back.
OMFG SAME. When it came to PTD in Las Vegas, I was literally still at school trying to get tickets but in the end i didnt even bother buying some because of the queue and crashing. In the end I bought floors seat, 8 rows away from the stage for around 600 each from a reseller. It was my first time too goingg to a concert and buying tickets.
I had also bought tickets for the 2020 concert but luckily mine only came out to 275 each because I was able to get in within 15 minutes. I got floor seats about 2 rows from the main stage but since it was canceled I had to try again for tickets to ptd on stage la 2021 and still ended up with floor tickets but 10 rows farther🥹. But ptd Las Vegas was SOMETHING ELSE. I tried so hard to get something good but all floor tickets were expensive as heck because of resellers so I ended up at the tippy top which wasn’t good for my fear of heights but I pushed through and the concert was great just wish there was a limit on how much someone can resell a ticket for cause it’s ridiculous seeing soundcheck resells go for 10k.
Honestly, they need to investigate into Ticketmaster and how corrupt they are. Not just for concerts, but for Broadway shows too. It’s disgusting.
I feel so bad for all the young kids who look up to her, and got scammed by ticket master. It's so sad. It really hurts seeing that girl cry. At that age, music is LIFE.
I had an experience to this about 3 years ago trying to get MCR tickets, and the wait in the cue I had was just less than an hour. It’s so annoying the monopoly on concert tickets have become for these big companies. They don’t care about the fans at all and leave the artist with an upset fan base.
I sat through the queue, and failed. There were no tickets left by the time it got to my turn. I only got tickets 3 days before the actual concert, due to people reselling on Ticketmaster. I did, however, get them at face value that MCR originally sold them for.
This happened to my cousin too. She was so frustrated she began to cry. It was upsetting
BRO THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS LITERALLY ON FOR MCR MINUTE THEY RELEASED BUT I SOMEHOW GOT KICKED OUT. lucky o had 5 friends get in like with me and one of them got tickets for me (tru homies) but yeah no fuck Ticketmaster holy shit
Omg getting MCR tickets at that time was hell 😭😭 I actually cried when I got kicked out from the queue it's ridiculous
i sat in the queue for oakland and when i got through all the tickets were like $500+
The sad thing is, unless they really get punished for their shady business they won't care. TM has so much power when it comes to live shows and not only in the US, they're the monopoly in other countries too. Kpop fans have been suffering from this for years now and it sucks
But see the thing is this doesn't only happen to Taylor Swift. This has happened for BTS and My Chemical Romance and just sooooo many other huge artists. Fans get fucked over because of TicketMaster and Scalpers and it has got to end. I wish the artists and the Fandom boycotted TicketMaster. Send them a huge message that without us you're nothing.
apparently pearl jam tried to boycott Ticketmaster in the 90s and they lost a lot of money and just had to accept it
@@Marinlss I remember that. I had bought tickets to that rescheduled concert. I wish they would have won that battle. They had the right intentions.
They literally can't boycott ticketmaster, they have no choice if they want to tour on big stadiums, since ticketmaster has a contract of exclusivity with the majority of them
Ticketmaster and Live Nation owned all the stadium and venue and even radio shows in US so you can't boycott them lol
@@aidentan6547 isn't that monopoly? can't they be sued or investigate, is suspicious, the other way to boycott is no buying from scalpers but people wish for concerts is big, but if is that expensive, I wonder how many actually pay those
Okay, but she doesn’t address the scalpers, and that’s what pisses me off. Ticketmaster even has a history of putting tickets DIRECTLY into scalpers hands.
It goes without being said I feel.
i feel like a lot of ticketmaster employees are scalpers themselves.
Yeah but still not her fault
Ticketmaster probably makes a profit off of them
@@ashlee326 they actually do. Any tickets resold on Ticketmaster resale cause Ticketmaster to double dip.
I work in ticketing for live events and my colleagues have worked high up in Ticketmaster, our clients left TM for us.
Ticketmaster DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS OR CUSTOMERS.
Why does ticketmaster even allow people to sell tickets for more than they bought them for or upscale. No ticket should be more than $300. And why tf is their service fees so much. My 40 dollar tickets went up to 80 with fees, charges and insurance on my tickets. That's crazy
Yes!!! Why don’t they make people resell them for what they brought them for like TicketSwap. It’s such a joke and pure greed
I remember trying to get tickets for twice and them being sold out, and when I saw it the resellers were selling it for 10,000. I cried because I couldn't go to see them
I love Taylor Swift, but I hate concerts so I didn’t even want to try, but seeing that one girl who was sobbing hard in the beginning makes me so sad, I understand that for most people, concerts are a huge thing and I hope this get fixed so that fans can finally just have fun and not be sobbing over how they we’re treated. This makes me unbelievably angry.
I'm not surprised this happened. When I went to get tickets for Stray Kids in April, every time I chose a seat, it continously kicked me out. Eventually, I just said screw it and bought my tickets from StubHub.
is stubhub legit? my family and i are getting desperate
@@xox.sloane basically resellers but sometimes they have decent prices.
@@peony5648 ohhh that makes sense thank you!!
@@xox.sloane you can also wait until the date of the concert gets close. I went to see BTS in New Jersey and some girls i met bought floor tickets that same day. Resellers put the price down once they see no one is going to pay $7000 for a ticket.
@@xox.sloane It's pretty reliable. A lot of people I know have gotten tickets from there and haven't had an issue. I would avoid Ticketfaster, though. A lot of people think it's associated with Ticketmaster but it's not. Many people have complained about the tickets not coming on time or being fake.
So early ariana still has tears left to cry
TicketMaster has been taking advantage of concert goers for YEARS.
The fees are the reason I haven't been to an event in a very long time.
Also, the people crying over this are very lucky & entitled for this 1st world problem to be their main issue.
Thank you.. ive not seen anyone else commenting about how ridiculous and out of touch these people's reactions are. That "triggered" girl especially pissed me off, as someone who struggles w real triggers 💀
I understand it sucks not being able to see your favorite artist- and i get that first world problems are problems too but at some point you have to step back and have enough decency to not post a video of you crying over them 💀💀
yea i think crying over it is a little much! although i can completely understand the other side as someone w autism it can be overwhelming to wait for hours to not even know if ur getting a ticket it can cause alot of anxiety! but at the same time i do feel like crying is a bit of an over reaction to not getting taylor swift tickets!
freaking thank you! it’s a privilege to afford a concert at all- but it’s a shame not to mention all the people who consider it a huge treat to get to go to a 50-100$ show only to get scammed by ticketmaster when they can afford it. they sell so many bad tickets for small live shows where you can only purchase a ticket through the venue. I can’t imagine how much money they must make off of unsuspecting parents and friends who get scammed trying to buy a ticket online for a loved one they’ve heard talking about how much they love a band or artist.
@@nocturalTragedy fr
While, yes, it's a first world problem you also have to remember a lot of these Taylor Swift fans are younger. They don't really know how to handle their emotions.
For example, when I was 15 my favorite band was CKY. We found out they were going to be at a skate shop signing autographs before heading to their show. We got there 5 minutes after they left. I silently cried in the car all the way home (still have the hat I wanted them to sign too). Again though, I was 15, didn't have a grip on my emotions & the most I was worrying about was whether or not I'd pass a math test. Same could be said with a lot of these fans. With some of the older fans, yea, it's weird. Honestly if I spent like 5 hours in a queue only to be booted off & sent back to the beginning I'd be more pissed then emotional.
i mean k-pop fans have been dealing with this for years tickmaster is the worst place to ever buy tickets
i’m early! i know many people weren’t pleased with her response but she didn’t choose this. as i commented on the past video, ticketmaster has been pulling shit like this for a while, it’s just that this time it occurred on a massive scale and caught more attention. i was fighting for my life getting bts tickets and again for these tickets. ticketmaster’s system is flawed. it’s a damn shame.
This is Taylor Swift we’re talking about not some no name artist. She has the ability to call out TM publicly and choose to not work with them. She can easily find different non traditional venues that would support her performance and make it into a movement. This is partially Taylor’s fault. I would say like 30% her fault. She has power, her voice moves industry’s. She has money. She has the tools. She has the support.
Imagine her not using TM and supporting alternative venues and calling TM out. Then let’s say TM sues her for that. That would be a near death sentence to TM. The amount of fans that would stop using TM all over the world is insane. Taylor has power!
@@evilsanta8585 while I see your point i just want to say that bts isn't a no name artist. they're a very very very known korean boy band.

People please STOP buying from resellers. Just stop. Make them ruin themselves, buying tickets they'll never resell. It's NOT worth it. No artist is worth you putting money into some bullshit scammer. None. And i swear to you it will NOT hurt the artist, if anything it'll lit a fire under the sellers/resellers website because *the ones with the power* will get annoyed, seeing their supposedly sold out show with lots of empty seats.
Also stop buying overpriced "spend .2 seconds with the artist and watch the rehearsal" tickets that's a whole another scam please and thanks
i mean she said she asked “multiple times” if ticket master was prepared for the fanbase and they assured her they could.. not her fault
I've always hated ticketmaster, I'm glad it's starting to be looked at!
This has been an issue people have been screaming about for a while but now that the swifties have been done dirty it's now a big problem and needs to be investigated
no cause so many fandoms have been screaming for YEARS but we got ignored
like no shade to taylor swift but why is ticketmaster JUST getting investigated N O W?
@@honeybunmoth its pretty simple, ticketmaster has monopoly over ticket sales, so most artist cant stand up against them in fear of what ticketmaster would've done to them, and the fan's cries just simply aren't big enough for ticketmaster to care. The reason why it's a problem now is that the swifties are a huge fanbase and Taylor Swift is one of the biggest celebrities right now. The role has changed and ticketmaster cant just ignore it like they always do. Knowing these, alot of people speak up against ticketmaster and demand an investigation
Honestly I'm just scared for the UK leg of the tour. We have presale codes via buying the midnight's album but we're scared that Americans are gonna be buying most of them so we can't go to our own shows here. And also the people with Loverfest tickets when it got cancelled due to covid should have had priority to this
It will be especially hard since many uk cities don’t have many, or any stadiums. Here in Glasgow we have 3 but only one gets used for concerts, and that’s only in the summer I think. And other cities here in Scotland have stadiums that aren’t even used in concerts. So many swiftes from up here will be gunning to even get a ticket. This could possibly get even worse than the US leg.
I've had the exact same problem with Shawn Mendes tickets for his past two tours. I'm glad TicketMaster is finally going under fire. Something has to be done. It's the worst feeling ever not being able to see your favourite singer because of "site crashing" 😢
ticketmaster is the enemy that bonds all fandoms together😭
Taylor bout to be the reasoning to finally bring down Ticketmaster 💅
The music industry✨
Honestly highly highly doubt it.
I’ve been through this process for all three of BTS’ concerts (original in LA before covid, PTD at Sofi, and PTD in Vegas), and every single time it’s extremely stressful. Ticketmaster charges sooo much in fees for a shitty service 🤷♀️
i saw a girl try to reschedule her MIDTERM to get these damn tickets. I’m glad I saw Taylor years ago when I was young
I hate how all these news articles say the "resale" sites are selling for tickets up to $400-500, but when you go on their actual website, majority of tickets are selling for $1000+, soo crazy. TS happens to be my fave artist. Ill just see her and no one else in the next 20yrs 🤣🤣😭😔
Honestly I didn’t even get a chance to look at the prices for the tickets I’m so upset by that… at this point stadiums and the record label company’s should work together and sell the tickets themselves on the artist’s website to ensure that fans actually get the tickets
I cannot justify spending *that* much money just to see someone sing a few songs for an hour or two. Messed up situation all around, but god damn. 100k+??

Hola teaspill, espero que haya alguien aquí que hable español, en mi país (chile) esto también sucede, la locura por que un artista venga a latinoamerica es brutal, la venta de entradas se vuelve una locura y pasa lo mismo que con la plataforma de ticketmaster, al querer comprar una entrada en la plataforma puntoticket, debes hacer una fila virtual que es aleatoria (como varios indican), por lo que si al evento que quieres asistir es muy masivo, probablemente tengas que aplicar técnicas como meterte desde varios computadores, lo cual es horrible, el sentimiento de frustación al ver que no vas a alcanzar una entrada, para "el show" que hará el artista, no es culpa de ellos, es culpa de quienes venden los tickets. Y ni hablar de las reventas, que suelen ser a precios abusivos, por ejemplo una entrada que normalmente cuesta 20 mil CLP, sube a 200 mil o hasta más. Qué suerte tienen de que taylor haya hablado de este problema con la venta de entradas, muchos artistas no dicen nada públicamente :(
Pensé que sería la única chilena sintiendo que esto es nuestra realidad para caaada concierto últimamente 😂 sufrí tanto por no alcanzar entradas para Bad Bunny por la maldita fila virtual, que la decepción me llevo a comprar entradas revendidas, tuve suerte en encontrar una niña honesta que me vendió las suyas a precio justo y pude ir 🥹 me parece genial que esta problemática se haga mundialmente reconocida porque realmente deben hacer algo al respecto y mejorar el sistema de venta para los concierto

They should have a rule where tickets are unique to the buyer and cannot be resold. If they really want to resell, then it should be the same value as the retail and the app can show transfer of ownership for the new buyer of the ticket, idk.
Imagine 'hating your life' over concert tickets. Lets put things in perspective lol
Yes thank you!
I waited in the queue for hours, got to pick my tickets, had then in my cart, then the site crashed and I'm put in the back of the queue. It was infuriating, but I figured I'd try again for the public sale. So when that got canceled, that's when I starting fuming. The whole experience was a nightmare. But the worst part to me is seeing so much hate fall onto Taylor. I can’t imagine how stressed she’s feeling after all this mess. Ticketmaster is the one to blame for all of this, not her and I hope we as swifties can do SOMETHING, even if it’s small, and bring about some change in the ticketing industry.
tbh this has been happening for years. the same thing happened to me when i went to buy tickets to harry’s 1st solo tour i was in a queue of over 2000 before it kicked me off the site right as i was about to buy tickets. its nothing new
I was able to purchase 3 tickets and it was so easy for me, I got a code… waited in line… and even got a moment to pick and plan out where we wanted to sit. I only waited 2 hours in the queue. I feel so bad and honestly guilty that this was my experience and obviously not what everyone else experienced. This is so backwards and screwed up, I blame Ticketmaster 100%.
don’t feel guilty! be glad you got tickets! have a good time at the concert (:
Just curious : what show was it for ? Bc I had the same experience for the Glendale show : I did wait in the queue 5 hours but once I got it it was smooth. Except that one was specifically through seat geek
@@reynayanez5948 it was for Sofi on August 4th! Maybe it’s a California thing?
I had a friend who also was able to get tickets easily, only $60 a piece, I wonder why some people had such an easy time and others so difficult.
@@Colonelhaydeemew same!!!
Honestly the fact this is just being talked about is crazy to me because this also happened with the Olivia Rodrigo tour and i was picked for presale and had the tickets in my cart and ticketmaster repeatly kicked me out and then blocked me from getting back in and once i was able to get back in all of the tickets were sold out and the tour sold out during presale and i got screwed and same thing with Blackpinks tour i was picked for presale and they had me wait an hour in Queue when i arrived early in line and once i got in everyone bought everything and ticketmaster wouldnt let me make a purchase on any seats unless i wanted to pay reseller prices so i missed out on that tour to
The same thing happened when I was trying to get BTS tickets, they sold out during pre sale and then nothing was left over what made me mad was scalpers bought so many and they changed thousands for tickets thay were originally sold for hundreds. I hate ticketsmaster and how they don't care about resellers over charging. I hope something changes
The entire ticket buying experience was complete chaos. I was waiting in the queue before work so my dad took over for me, but it took us a combined 5 hours and even once he was in he said every time he clicked on a ticket it was already in someone’s cart. He eventually go them but it was the worst ticket buying experience I’ve ever had, which says a lot because I’ve had some pretty bad ones. One of my best friends is in a wheelchair and every time we try to go to some event Ticketmaster makes it impossible putting handicap accessible seats behind presales and it is absolutely infuriating
I waited from 10-8 on Tuesday, only for it to tell me Ticketmaster was unable to process my request on my device. I was fortunate enough to have been able to use a friends Capital One card on the presale on Wednesday, and I got a ticket. It genuinely makes me sick to my stomach to know other people didn’t get tickets, this entire thing should have been handled much differently.
I never had any interest in going to concert until Black Pink. I had not much knowledge with concert tickets process, and when I went to get tickets for black pink, I was stunned that some of the tickets for GA were up to $1500. This video explains why.
And if they can’t handle the demand, then that’s why there should be competition to other ticket companies also being able to sell tickets 🤡
I honestly hate Ticketmaster because of how much they over charge! I always have to watch what I'm buying from them because it will go up 100-300 within seconds! I don't believe Ticketmaster at all when they said they did this so "bots" couldn't buy tickets. I'm sorry but they did and to me Taylor isn't worth 100k for w ticket
My friend got tickets for her concert at sofi stadium and she had to wait a while. I feel so bad for those who waited 5 hours and got nothing wtf Ticketmaster do better .
I didn't try and get Taylor tickets, but I've had this issue for years in the UK with Ticketmaster, Live Nation and Gigs and Tours. These website are so scammy and they get away with it cause it's the main (if not only way) people can go see their favourite artists on tour.
I feel sorry for those people in that Que, honestly that frustration is next level. When my country (Ireland) opened international borders after Covid, you needed an EU Covid pass to leave the country and I’d didn’t get mine and I wasn’t the only one, it was a huge backlog. I was on hold for 5 hours and 45 mins when I got cut off. It’s honestly the worse feeling ever. It took me 5 Attempts over a week. Total of 10+ hours to get through to someone. It came a week before my flight
I think it would have helped if Taylor’s team waited until they announced international tour dates to do ticket sales because it would have cooled the demand down for the united states leg shows
I waited for 9 hours....I got through the que like 3 times....and then I figured out the exact tickets I almost got were resold for $55k
55k????? That's would buy me 2 houses. I hate this world
@@yellowmesh7821 yea I was so beyond livid.....honestly Ticketmaster should be held responsible
Same thing happened with me when I was trying to get tickets to see BTS. I had 2 tickets in my cart, got kicked out and then those exact same tickets were being sold for thousands right after they were literally stolen from my cart while I was checking out, it's so unfair. I hate how TM allows this to keep happening
BTS fans are just watching this like mhmm we knew this already.
Here in the Netherlands we have a company that manages most of the concert and festival resellers. They can only be sold for 20% than they were bought for. It's a nice system, cuz sure you can still make a profit, but it's not in the thousands of euros. Also, a lot of, if not most of, the ticket sellers in the Netherlands have a limit of 5 or 10 tickets per person to buy. This helps to make sure that reselling tickets isn't a way to make a living, just some extra cash. Of course, it isn't perfect, but it sounds a lot better than whatever is going on in the US at the moment with Taylor Swift tickets.
Adding dynamic pricing to the conversation, i saw people on twitter buying tickets for the same section and paying very different amounts for their tickets... I don't understand how this is legal? And TM charging insane service fees ($100+ for some) when this is the service they provide??? I'm glad the department of justice is looking into this
Took me 5 hours but i got a ticket in the back of the stadium
I love going to concerts and I was really hoping that I’d be able to go to my first Taylor Swift concert (been listening to her since the beginning, but really wanted to go to see her after her 1989 album, one of absolute fave albums)but because of this shit show and scalpers, looks like it’s gonna be alot harder to get a ticket than I thought… scalpers can go and rot and ticketmaster needs to be looked into, immediately (even though this has been going on for a long time).
Not going to lie, I haven’t even told anyone besides my sister that I got tickets because of this situation. I understand that people were having issue with Ticketmaster and I was lucky enough that as soon as I got in to get tickets I was able to purchase them. I had to wait 1 hour and during that time I was driving to work. I literally was putting my card information in when I got off the freeway. It makes me sad to see that other people were unable to get tickets.
Money’s always been tight for me, and so I didn’t try to get tickets even though I was able to get a code. My husband knew how much I’ve been dying to see Taylor for the last 10 years and tried to surprise me and used my code, but by the time he got through the prices were so high we couldn’t possible afford it.
I was already sad about going another tour without getting to see Taylor, but the look on my husband’s face when he showed me the prices and told me there was no way we could afford to go made it so much worse... 🥺
“Us K-pop fans have been saying this for years”
Literally every genre of music fans have been saying this. Country. Metal. Rap. Seriously 🙄🙄🙄
Why can’t there be a stipulation that you cannot resell tickets. If you cannot attend you forfeit the tickets to the vendor (only put a cancel fee if within a certain time).
Thats why they want to investigate cause maybe Ticketmaster is also the one reselling and that thing is just a tactic to make more money
I couldn’t care less about TS tickets but when Tea Spill uploads…. I watch 🤷🏻♀️
“The website crashed the website kicked me out, ticket master this and that…” sounds like a whole lot of ticket masters fault and none of Taylor’s.
also scalpers are mostly people who work for ticketmaster so of course they get tickets before the fans do
Ticketmaster was doing this in Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC, Britny, and Christina days as well. The only difference we had to wait in malls and stores for hours to get tickets. And those tickets were triple or more the prices of the average mortgages at the time. So about the same price as they sell tickets today.
Kpop fans been saying this
it is so hard to feel bad for people and situations like this
more and more smaller venues and artists are refusing to have any affiliation with 3rd parties like ticketmaster… so tell me why you can still buy(and so many people get sold) tickets for almost any show that only accepts tickets purchased through the venue on TM? it’s basically a rite of passage in my city to spend 50-100$ on at least one bunk ticket from ticketmaster for a local show at least once.
This has been happening for years in the tech industry. Hell the PlayStation VR 2 went on sale Tuesday, where it was schedule to officially hit the store front at 11a.m. Bots had most of it bought out and taken by 10:30am. I’m happy it’s finally being addressed but it’s been happening in other industries for years.
Period feel so special being this early
My dad waited in the queue for over 5 hours. He managed to get tickets and I'm so so grateful that he did! They were 2 tickets for nosebleeds for Chicogo night 2. I think they were around 300, and I don't know if that includes fees or not, but I'm just so happy u get to go.
Tiktok and Ticketmaster screwed over ghost fans a similar way after their song became a hit. Made tickets go up by like 300 minimum when they were already a few hundred.
Thanks for speaking on this! I am starting to think scalping should be made illegal
I'm sorry but the beginning is so funny, the ppl recording themselves sobbing 💀
I'm pretty sure ticket master isn't available in my country anymore, and any big events use Howler. The price is so much lower with them and I've been able to go to way more events. The consumer protection laws in America are really bad compared to the rest of the world and that's probably why they've gotten away with this for so long. I hope artists start pulling away and use an alternative because it's horrible to essentially bankrupt yourself so you can see your favourite singer
This is what kpop fans have to go through every year 💀
I waited 8.5 hours, didn’t get ticket and cried, then had to purchase tickets from a resale site (not as insane as some people are asking, but still) I am so sorry for anyone else who also had to go through this.
How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking?
@@adamd6648 my tickets were about $800 each, which is double what they paid for the ticket however the tickets I had in my cart 4. Separate. Times. on Ticketmaster were within $100 of what I ended up paying for them (which is the only reason I went for them).
People posting videos of themselves sobbing and haveing complete meltdowns look ridiculous and need to get over themselves. You're not a child, you can't throw a tantrum just because you didn't get your way. She'll tour again.
Ok but the cost of the tickets was insane.
I had the luck of getting tickets after waiting from 7am to 5pm. I do feel for the people that also waited hours to buy tickets, but it sickening to see people so entitled on twitter. From blaming Taylor to outright destroying any merch/photo they had with her. I really hope they do investigate Ticketmaster, because I got upper deck seats(not nosebleed seats, towards lower deck) and they were nearly $300, and floor seats were literally $700+(at SoFi). In other arenas I saw that people got floor tickets for that same price, wtf TicketMaster
Its ridiculous for some of the prices for these goddamn tickets.
Monopolies should be illegal!
I don’t think it’s HER fault
Hell. I dont like Taylor but It's not her fault. She didn't kick people off or cause the sites to crash herself.
I had a horrible experience on Tuesday (6 hours with no tickets to show for it) but on Wednesday I got floor seats for $299 each! I am grateful it worked out but I'm so sad that it didnt for so many people
I’m so thankful for the fact that reselling tickets for a higher price is illegal in my country. But oh god, trust me, I hate Ticketmaster so much… I have had so many problems with them
I’ve been saying that ticketmaster is the worst ESPECIALLY since the new “Platinum pricing” bs. That way when tickets first go on sale all of the big fans that have been waiting until on sale time end up paying hundreds of dollars for GA due to the demand when they should be under $100… then of course they get resold for even more. I tried to get imagine dragons tickets and when they went on sale there were no tickets under $500 which to me is insane. I will NOT pay that much for a single show. This is why now I’m trying to only attend independent venues in my area, but there’s only 2 left now because the other one got bought out by Livenation… and the ticket prices have at least tripled
Ticketmaster need to find the codes for the tickets that are being resold for ridiculous amounts and just cancel those tickets and sell them again for sale price! The person/bot will lose their money and the tickets go back into circulation for real fans to buy!!!
its really sad :( Kpop-fans have been going through this for years, I hope now something is going to change... nobody deserves that
here in australia the ticket can only be resold at 10% higher [the max limit] than the original price. which seems far. something similar should happen in the USA.
I was trying to sell my extra tickets to the trinity of terror tour for Baltimore and I just had to deal with the loss. Ticketmaster wouldn’t let me even transfer my tickets so I could give them away
I couldn’t even log in. I can’t imagine trying to get tickets. Customer service was non existent. Everyday I pray more of my favorite bands don’t go viral like PTV did bc that was a nightmare too
Tbh it'll end up been cheaper coming to Latin América and see Taylor here than paying 10k for a resold ticket
It has been a huge issue in the kpop community for awhile now. I hope that something is going to happen cause I'm not about to pay +300€ to see NCT.
