You can tell when Ryan makes a video about something he just experienced and is frustrated about
I mean that's most of his videos that aren't Pitch Meetings or First Guys.
Hey Wolfie, I’m your biggest fan! Please tell me when your next symphony comes out it’s been a while now since that Jupiter banger
Its probably why its so relatable and funny EDIT: Chopin is the GOAT.
@@dootqueen It's*
I don't know what you're talking about, getting tickets is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Ryan: I'd like to buy a ticket, please
Ticketmaster: Actually, that is going to be super difficult and a real inconvenience.
O really
We need screen writer guy to buy us our tickets, but he'll charge a "Super easy, barely an inconvenience" fee.
Ticketmaster: I'm going to be super sleazy, rarely a convenience
Fortunately, Ticketmaster adds a convenience fee to offset some of the inconvenience.
*HI there hello, I'd like to buy a ticket please :)
Let's be real: The guy actually lucked out at the end when that last ticket was gone.
Wife bought tickets for us to see Ghost (her favorite band) at $150 per ticket, within 30 minutes that same row was priced at over $400 per ticket. It's insane.
But why should you pay 150$ for a rock/metal show. For the same amount of money you could buy festival tickets for festivals that take place three days or longer (at least in Europe).
People that are willing to pay these prices are the reason Ticketmaster can do what they do...
@@burningtheevidence8038 Not that I'd pay that kind of money for any single band myself, but it's not really that simple. With a festival comes accommodations, probably a much longer distance to travel, food costs, days off work, maybe getting someone to take care of kids and/or pets and so on.
@@burningtheevidence8038 really now, blaming the fans who just want to see the artist/s they like live, instead of the deeply corrupt system which allows this? what a reasonable person you are.
@@burningtheevidence8038 I don't live in Europe and travel to Europe is far far more expensive than the ticket
Ghost sucks and your wife is most likely obese.
In Norway, we illegalized reselling tickets for more than you originally bought them for. Fixed a LOT of issues.
usa is too stupid for that
That is a surprising normal way to deal with this that it makes me feel dumbfounded why it has not been done.
@@Fools_Blade
Because money. As Ryan would say.
@@Fools_Blade because this world is aggressively capitalistic
@@Fools_Blade You'd be surprised of surprisingly-normal ways there are to deal with problems - once you look outside the US - the only industrialized country where driving an ambulance is somehow more expensive than buying a gun and hijicking a car.
The disinterested arrogance of Ticketmaster was captured perfectly! And getting slapped over and over is pretty much how it feels to use Ticketmaster. Ryan doesn't miss
He doesn't even miss when hitting himself.
Ah a website/app? Thought like a literal person. I haven't been to a concert or sports match in years.
He always missn't
Getting tickets should be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I've never been to a concert so never bought tickets, so I can't relate at all and I am VERY confused XD
There’s a world tour going on by this artist I just have to see, this is the first time I’ve looked into concert tickets and these practices are insane, the timing on this video is INCREDIBLE
fun fact: with those prices it might be cheaper to see said artist in a venue in Europe and purchase the ticket through the appropriate store in the country of performance.
@@benzaiten933 I live in the Netherlands yet Ticketmaster’s still a big one over here, I guess mostly for reselling though, I’m not too well-versed on the topic lol
@@benzaiten933 stop saying "fun fact." It's the worst
I’ve seen The Weeknd in Leeds, UK 6 years ago for like £30. This year, the cheapest tickets were at £108 and they didn’t last long and what was left was resells at *£300* . I’m not going to any concert anytime soon.
No its statistics
I always loved that story that came out about how Ticket Master actually sold tickets to scalpers early on purpose. They make more money that way as it makes the show seem in demand, even if the actual event is mostly empty on the day of. The scalpers are the ones left hanging with unsold tickets.
Well, scalpers are part of the scum of society, so I won't say they don't deserve it, but there needs to be laws against willingly selling everything to scalpers
*Cough Cough ps5*
Assuming the scalpers aren't the ticket masters themselves. Why make more money when you can take all the money. Unsold ticket matters little when a fraction sold net more money than selling all the tickets on the listed price.
@@belldrop7365 Pretty much, if you sell every ticket for 2 or 3 times the normal price, failing to sell a few doesn't really matter. I've had friends do something similar with video games when they worked at game stop. Day one release of a new game or console they'd buy out the stock and resell it online. Often with an employee discount lol.
@@JustaGuy_Gaming Your friends are scum then
It turns out buying concert tickets through Ticket Master is super difficult... definitely an inconvenience ☹️
Definitely with inconvenience fees
There's a convenience fee with that.
people DO realize
@@JakeRayTM There's an inconvenience fee with that convenience fee
@@fernandoi8958 0%
I used to work for Ticketmaster and I can confirm, they have a whole division dedicated to slapping customers. Which was extra weird to me because I sold tickets over the phone.
I watched enough Dastardly and Muttley cartoons as a child to know that slapping someone throught the phone is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
@@epiendless1128 I'm just barely audibly laughing at that. Mutley-like.
😂😂😂😂
I remember trying to buy tickets over the phone once, I had to slap myself several times to complete the sale. I had to record it and send it to the agent and I had to let it bruise and show it to the agents as well to make sure it was legit.
Tickets were gone by the time I completed that step :(
Buying tickets over the phone? Hahahahaha you can't do that anymore.
This is literally the most accurate explanation of Ticketmaster. I paid $300 a piece for two tickets to see Gabrielle Iglesias. The seats were literally folded seats behind a column. They called that "the handicap section."
Man, that is so effed up on levels
You literally wasted all that money on a scam, came home frustated and unsatisfied.
Instead you could have taken her to a nice movie, then dinner, bought gifts for each other. And yet you were $300 in your pocket.
Best is you would have had a great time, felt happier.
As in, if you weren't handicapped before, you will be after sitting in these seats for a couple hours.
I guess they were hoping blind people bought those tickets.
Dumbass
This is a really important and accurate documentary exposing Ticketmaster's anti-consumer practices.
Yeah man. That’s the whole joke
Can we just talk about how on point it is that the sponsor for a video about dealing with Ticketmaster is a therapist.
Ah yes; spend more money on your 'therapist' since you couldn't spend money on your tickets. Consoomerism is truly la disease. The modern mindset of "I must consoom moar!" is truly both pathetic and an epidemic of epic proportions. But don't worry! You can see your therapist for that! CONSOOM CONSOOM CONSOOM
Mental health is important, not just a scheme to get money. While I do agree that consumerism is harmful, there are some things that are worth spending money on. Mental health is one of those
I want better than better help.
Having to take a for-profit healthcare business’ money in order to pay for art that is a scathing indictment of the perils of unfettered capitalism has to feel like an extra bonus slap for Ryan 😂
@@MyBiPolarBearMax *whoops* _whoopsie_
They actually created something more unpleasant that camping out in line for three days in the freezing rain.
That was fun and an experience en soi. I miss this, I miss the 90s
I mean, at least we were all united by our sweat, tears and love of music...
yup. i'd take camping over paying my entire savings to ticketmaster any day.
I got sweet NBA playoff tickets for $80 doing that. Aww, the memories...
Some of my best memories growing up were going to see concerts with friends but there is no way in hell I'm paying to see a concert these days. I have a decent job, I can afford it, I just think it's disgusting and could never bring myself to pay those prices. Who knew I'd reach 'old person yelling at cloud' levels by my early 30s.
I'm 33 and with yah
I used to go to concerts all the time when I was younger. My children have never been to a live concert that wasn't a free one at some venue like a park or something.
You can still find good prices. I just found Offspring, Sum 41, and Simple Plan for about $30 in Atlanta
We're not yelling at the cloud, we're in the cloud.
I'm in my early 30s as well and on disability benefits. I spent like $300 to see The Cure earlier this year. It's one of the best decisions I ever made. Saw them one other time 16 years ago, they probably won't be around in another 16. I'm all for sticking it to evil corporations, but the music and the experiences are way more important to me.
When Ryan starting talking about inconvenience fees, I really though he was gonna bring “barely an inconvenience” to these videos😂
By now he's probably well aware that his loyal fans will take care of that in the comments.
@@Julia-lk8jn loyal fans taking care of things in the comments is TIGHT
@@DoctheFox3913 okay, guess I walked into that one ...
@@Julia-lk8jn you did
@@Julia-lk8jn Whoops.
I’d buy tickets to a Ryan George talk show even if he takes minute breaks to change costumes
Me too
Oh… my god
Thanks, that will be $10,000 please.
Man, I bet it's gonna be super hard to get tickets to that.
Heck hh
I love how some bands are intentionally selling tickets for $20 and Ticketmaster is like… they’ll still be $200
The bands could always use different channels to sell tickets.
@JZ's BFF And people's "fear of missing out" is endless...
@@etherealicer Can they though? is that down to the label/lack of options on their end as well?
@@daviddrayton3521 Possibly, but then the band does not set the price at all. So, them claiming they would sell for $20 (or whatever) is moot (actually, it is marketing: you get overcharged and the band is still the "good guy").
@@etherealicer They really can't Ticketmaster owns almost all the venues as well
After recently trying to buy tickets for an upcoming concert in august, I felt all of this. My face still hurts.
Is Ryan in my brain 😟
I've never been more grateful that most the bands I have interest in seeing live only costs $15-$30 in clubs or smaller venues that usually don't sell out. I haven't had to use Ticketmaster in years just by luck, but I see the torment a family member goes through trying to get a Taylor Swift ticket..
And things like a 'print at home' fee? Wtf? That's like paying Dominoes a delivery fee when I went to pick it up myself.
Same. I refuse to overpay and I damn sure won't overpay with Ticketmaster. No show is worth getting ripped off. But idiots will burn money to see some pop star ffs. Music is mostly DEAD at the Ticketmaster level IMHO, I hate most music on the radio anyway. The good music isn't at a Ticketmaster venue and hasn't been for awhile
You know Ticketmaster literally slapping could be the most realistic thing in this world
I’d probably let ‘em do it if they took some fees away
Im genuinely terrified with the number of ideas Ryan gave them in this video.
Not really... they'd also spit on you too...
This is not satire, it's a literal documentary at this point 😂😭
Every concert enthusiast will feel this very intensely. Ticketmaster is pure evil 🤬
a country get what it elect. If you elect stupid people in you get this monopol companies
I am very lucky I started investing points in the "Autism"-skill-tree early on in life so this affects me in no way except nobody asking me to go to concerts with them, which is a good thing, but yeah, if you like concerts, this surely must suck major balls.
I hate going to concerts anyway.
Yeah I kept waiting for the documentary to stop and the satire to start...
Not if you don't care about popular music. Then you can just, I don't know, buy a ticket. You can even think about it for a few weeks.
This depiction was still better than my last Ticketmaster experience.
1:00 Super easy, barely an inconvenience fees
"Inconvenience fees"
Yeah that sums up our modern post-delivery post-online-booking world
I don't get how Ryan got through that without a "barely an inconvenience" joke.
@@a2falcone Super easy ! =)))
Can we just talk about how impressive it is that Ryan is capable of slapping himself?
He is becoming stronger by the day.
He's almost as fast as One Punch Man, who can turn fast enough to see the back of his head in his own reflection
I forgot he was actually slapping himself and wasn't getting slapped by the ticketmaster
That was Ticketmaster doing the slapping, can’t you read?
Super easy, barely an inconvenience. Hmmmmm, now WHERE have I heard that before?
What's so impressive about that? I slap myself all the time.
Ryan really caught the essence of buying concert tickets. 10/10, exactly true to life
There might as well be a slapping fee 😂
Man, I really feel the pain to get a ticket for Celebrity Guy's concert, I had to pay 1000$ just to sit on the floor outside the building and hear it from there
sitting on the floor outside the building is TIGHT!
Holy shit, you could actually *hear* it?! What a bargain.
tried to buy a seat at ba ba ba guy's concert. it was 10K just to park outside
Hearing it must be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Bah Bah Bah.
Ticketmaster is another example of why no company or conglomerate should ever hold a monopoly in anything, ever.
Just wait until investment firms own all the housing in the entire USA
so... who should hold a monopoly?
@@anton7354 No-one should; that's OP's point. If anyone has a monopoly in anything, prices go through the roof.
@@1Thunderfire Exactly! Why specifically mentioning "company or conglomerate" then?
Prices is only one of the problems, btw. But whatever...
That's how to win a catan game
Remember that everytime you hear a politician say he's gonna cut red tape and free up businesses, it means allowing companies like Ticketmaster to behave like this
THIS!
Can’t emphasize this enough.
bingo
YES! That's exactly it!!
Umm it’s the opposite
@@burthudson3015 why do you think that?
Okay I’m dying. Ryan is so funny and he doesn’t even look like he’s trying. I haven’t laughed in a while; thank you Ryan 😂
A couple years back I heard Rammstein, one of my favourite bands, were doing a show in my hometown of Munich at the Olympic Stadium. I waited online for the sale to start and got kicked out several times. Never saw my ticket, nor did my friends. However we just hung out at the Olympic Park on a hill where you can look inside the stadium. There were like thousands of people with us. We could see and hear see everything. So we kinda ... paid nothing and got to see the show anways.
You love me to say that you did not obey.
Rammstein is the only band that after the show, I end up feeling like I should have paid more, for the amount of show they have given me. Seen them 3 times. This last stadium tour (in our old Olympic stadium in Los Angeles), after waiting longer than the Pandemic, after all that waiting, and after some unusual circumstances, ended up transferring my two tickets to a sweet and worthy young couple....sucked, but it was the right thing to do.
To anyone wondering why tickets are so expensive, Ticketmaster monopolized the sales
sucks to be in usa.
They didn't actually, it's just the only place people know to look.
@@bryanf6638That's not any better.
@@bryanf6638 Do you have any recommendations?
@@bryanf6638 That’s called a monopoly
For the price of one corporate music ticket, you can enjoy months of live local music in small venues, and your local bands will appreciate you far more than any major touring act.
And you get to say you saw them before they got big!
Oh ok hipster
This video can easily apply to any other monopolies as well. For example, Lego. They're the largest producer and also own the largest 2nd hand marketplace. And yeah they occasionally slap everyone with price hikes.
Last time I got a ticket through TicketMaster I had to give them legal ownership of my children in order to pay for my ticket. But I didn't hesitate and getting a dilapidated lawn chair that was close enough I could see the building my favorite artist was performing in was totally worth it.
Are your kids enjoying their slavery? But it was worth it so...
If it's gonna cheer you up, everyone living in the 5 km radius could hear the concert.
Your child will be better off being raised by a multi billion corporation, anyway
As someone who's never been to a concert, I can confirm this
As someone who's also never been to a concert, I can confirm this.
As someone who has been to concerts twice.... DON'T EVER GO TO ONE. waste of time, money, oxygen, food, your eardrums, your legs, your butt, your dignity
Yes, the struggle is real...ly other people's problem if you never go to concerts. I don't either.
As someone who's seen about 120 different bands by now I can say...we don't have Ticketmaster here
@@iwatchwithnoads7480 or try to like a musical act (most likely a small up and coming band or unknown music act) that hasn't sold out their souls to Ticketmaster. I went to a concert last October to see my favorite band (Echosmith) perform at some concert venue that holds like 500 people and it was the best music experience that I have ever done. Yeah I know that my fave band isn't a headliner or cooler than blank, but I think seeing your favorite (or one of your a favorite bands play) bands play, is like a rite of passage a. You should definitely experience that at least one time in your life. I can see why the old music fans that caught this (blank) band perform in (some year before the internet 😂), talks so high about their experience. At least I can sort of relate to that experience because I felt that highness (no, I am not talking about drugs) of that kind of experience last October in 2022. 😊
The great thing about being a metalhead is you don't really have to deal with this. Tickets don't sell out to quickly and the tickets are usually pretty cheap. Spent £40 to see my favourite band, spent £250 for a 4 day festival including travel and I bought the ticket a few months after it became available (it is sold out now though). Venues are normally a bit smaller though
Bro that ad is hilarious “What’s a description??” Got me 😂
I like the comedy bits more, but this documentary style suits you surprisingly well.
I can't believe he took actual quotes from Ticketmaster representatives and put so many of them in his video. Hope he doesn't get any takedown notices.
Your comment is so cuttingly accurate I heard Ticketmaster say ouch... and then a slap sound.
Facts! lol
I’m surprised ticket master even agreed to an interview tbh
😂
The slap after "human decency, kindness" was beautiful, I haven't laughed that hard in a while 😂
He probably should have seen that coming.
I read your comment exactly at that moment in the video, and it made me chuckle too :D
One of your better, newer ones!! Very funny 😂🤣
This is so true
This was 100% accurate. As a recent concert novice, I fell for all of that “premium ticket” bs to buy a normal a$$ ticket. Never. Again.
See again this was your fault I have no sympathy for you.
And I will never understand the stupidity of people. They are so quick to point the finger about company's rotten. Business practices but they contribute to those practices.
@@That1PissedOffBoomer not that I ever buy tickets but is it okay to scam people like this? and is it really worth 3000 dollars like bruh
@@That1PissedOffBoomer Impressive that you’re a psychic. Good for you, bruh. 👏 Maybe you should use that talent to win the lottery or something.
@@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441 Right?! We’re basically saying, “Oh, this business is committing fraud. Oh well. How dare you fall for it, customer!” 😂
Fortunately, I didn’t pay “everything”. 😛 Not even anywhere near $3000. But it still pisses me off that this particular type of business is completely allowed to do this. Any other business and they’d get sued immediately. There’s probably a handful of novices that try to buy tickets in these scenarios during each subterfuge thinking it’s a legit process… But it’s the masses of repeat offenders who are enabling the scheme in perpetuity.
The repeated slapping was the icing on the cake for this episode 😂
That, and the painfully accurate "because I can".

'I can do whatever I want, that's the thing.'

Hey, you guys should go to a concert together and bring your dads. @ameliya--tapmetohavesexwit683
Good try , ticket prices were well past $20 in the 90's.
@@KipdoesStuff Spoken like someone that didn't go to concerts in the 90s..
@@KipdoesStuff there is this thing called "where you live" and "cost of living" and maybe they were where you lived because you are just so uptight they charged you more.
@@KipdoesStuff I tried doing a Google Image search for No Doubt tickets from the 90s and I did see a couple shots of old tickets on eBay that were indeed $20. That's the cost printed on the ticket, not what they were selling for on eBay. So, there you go.
I saw alot of concerts in the 90's but it was crazy when one year it was $40 for a ticket and next year the same ticket was $160.
"human decency" 😂😂😂 I love when Ryan appeals to ancient ethical ideals...
My secret is to only go see smaller, up-and-coming bands. Tickets are like $20 and that saves you enough to buy a piece of merch, which directly supports the band and which really helps them out at that stage in their career.
Most of my favorite artists are smaller, and so the prices are much more reasonable, but since the venues they play are smaller you still have to be quick! 😨
The Cure still charges $20 a ticket but Ticketmaster adds another $27 per ticket in fees.
Plus smaller artists are more accessible. We've had drinks or gone out to lunch with smaller artists, no way Kanye would do that.
Citizen Soldier is definitely one of them. And honestly I prefer going to see them over two of my other favorite bands; Sabaton and Powerwolf.
I do agree with you if you're gonna see a group just see a smaller group. Otherwise all you're doing is contributing towards sheer greed. Then getting mad when your dumb a** enables greedy companies to continue to be greedy without ever f***ing thinking about your goddamn part in things. It's not worth paying these prices.
I am definitely firmly in the "no longer can afford to go to concerts" demographic.
And I'm a proud member since 2015 when I tried to get tickets for Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Wasn't a concert, but I no longer buy stuff from ticket master.
Same.
The ending of the adstronaut bit broke my cold exterior and my lol became a legitimate state of being.
I'm so amazed at how the ads are sometimes just as funny as the sketches. Love it :)
What's really bad is that the company that owns Ticketmaster also books about 80% of the artists. So, if a venue refuses to usse Ticketmaster, then Ticketmaster will not book those artists at that venue. Gotta love those vertical monopolies.
Why don't artists themselves opt out?
@@becominghero9754 A lot of venues ticketmaster either owns or has some kind of exclusive ticketing contract with.
Also, look up Pearl Jam vs ticketmaster. That was back in 1994, ticketmaster is an even bigger monopoly now, so it has just become more difficult for artists to do anything against tm unfortunately...
@@becominghero9754 Because then they can't book any of the venues where Ticketmaster has arranged a monopoly with them. "Want big acts to play your venue? You have to use Ticketmaster or we won't let any Livenation artists play here." Indie artist shows up looking for said venue, is forced to use Ticketmaster. And now for their latest trick, Ticketmaster is buying up venues that previously wouldn't comply now they're struggling post panny.

This will be very educational for me, as I haven’t gone to concerts in a while.
and you won't be any time soon, unless you're a billionaire or a bot
It's also 100% accurate, right down to the slapping.
Or just go to local shows
My last concert was Weird Al's 'The Saga Begins' tour. I got 8 tickets for 160 bucks total. It was amazing, even when he came in the audience and slapped all of us.
It's pretty accurate

I'm usually a massive fan of Ryan's sketches but this one got too real for me.

Ryan learned how to physically interact with himself editing wise and wanted to flex on us
“Inconvenience fees” is the best Ryan George quote
I love the Adstronaunt!
Ryan does more important work than people think. In a crappy world like we live in he brings joy and laughter and an escape even if it's just a couple of minutes. Kudos
Ara-I totally agree!
I mean, I agree, but that's what any comedian does.... comedy didn't start with Ryan George
@@Geohillierneo funny you say that because I was going to add something about comedic entertainers in general but for brevities sake left that out. Fully agree. Comedy and comedic performance is a very important part of our lives for reasons that go deeper than simply making one laugh
also, he puts dumb shit in perspective
So does every comedy channel. Granted none do it quite as well as Ryan.
Thank you for at least acknowledging the slaps to the face, that's more customer service than ticketmaster.
Man, this is so true! It just happened to me this week.
I've been to live events, but never modern concerts. I don't need to have my ears blasted or risk getting trampled. I can damage my hearing at home just fine.
That "inconvinience fee" had some "emotional damage" energy. 😂😂😂😂
What... does he have a writing team working for him now? How does he come up with such great content in this little time? He's outdoing himself like every single week. It's beyond uncanny.
Dude this is one of the best ones to date. I normally don’t care for slapstick but the slap was just funnier every time
Comments like this just go to show how utterly imbecilic most people are. If he had a writing team, you'd notice a major tonal shift in his jokes, often accompanied by a very noticeable decrease in quality, with the only 'upside' being a greater output.
Literally none of these things happened, aside from a very slight increase in output, but considering the time required to produce this content is quite low, why are you even suggesting such nonsense as "he got a writing team?"
Coming up with these jokes once per week is not 'uncanny.' Seriously.... what is uncanny is that you actually think this way.
I'm impressed as well. some people are just workhorses.
I don't believe this is the compliment you mean it to be. Without trying to undermine his work in any way, coming up with a script for a relatively short sketch like this is a matter of hours for a creative person. Naturally the quality will be different depending on the person, I couldn't produce anything half as funny as Ryan - but all you're essentially saying is "wow, this is much better than before, did someone else write this for you?"
Ryan George is easily the best RUclips right now
Don't forget about the fee fie fo fum fee, & the just because we can fee. Those add up!
HE TOUCHED HIM! HE TOUCHED HIM!

I stopped buying tickets years ago, realizing that I could buy the album and hear the music repeatedly, not just once from the nosebleed seats.
Pretty much why I don't go to concerts. People thought I was lame back then. But now I'm apparently saving a fortune.
Concerts have always been dumb. Buying a spot in a crowded space with a thousand+ people I don't know pushing and shoving me in every direction at once while they poorly dance in a nearly pitch black room with the music blaring at a legitimately ear damaging volume level has never felt like a good time to me.
Don't forget there always have to be some 420 blaze it kids making the place smell even worse than a thousand sweaty people

A Ticketmaster sketch with a Betterhelp ad. There's a marriage built in hell.
100% people don't realize how accurate this is! Can't go to any shows anymore
The state of ticketmaster today makes me happy I'm a metal fan. I've never had to worry about buying tickets, half the time we can just buy them at the door the night of.
So glad my social anxiety disinclines me to go to concerts. Something I won’t be needing Betterhelp for!
Hello. I am better better help.
What is your favorite genre of music? My default suggestion is to watch the 1969 Woodstock performance of Santana playing the song "Soul Sacrifice".(because that is what I am foing to choose to watch right now)
Peace. Address all music queries in your response. I am not chatGPT.
I first read that as "disciplined" and I was so confused haha. I also have social anxiety that makes concert-going a challenge.
This goes for a lot more than just tickets sadly. Bots are just everywhere as soon as new popular items get released and the companies don’t give a shit because they’re still making money. Every time we think we’re creating something to make certain things easier we just make it 10 times harder instead lol
In case anyone is doubting the accuracy of this portrayal, I recommend checking John Oliver's spotlight on Ticketmaster that was released in one of his ninth season episodes. If anything, the reality is actually worse.
Beautifully written
The fact that I loathe Ticketmaster to the core of my very soul yet still managed to laugh through the pain really shows how stupidly good Ryan is at what he does.
...I hope you managed to see whatever show you were trying to catch in the end, man. Without having to sell a couple of organs, that is.
Trying to buy eras tour tickets is a literal nightmare
Taylor is a material gurl
@@wandaslover13 Which isn't really related. Her prices were pretty reasonably if not for Ticketmaster & resellers.
@@hamderv8410 I mean her prices are reasonable on how big is a singer she is and how good she is but they are still expensive. And where I live, I can basically just not go to her concert.
@@hamderv8410 Counterpoint, have you seen how livid people become when they can't resell, or even gift, their tickets because a venue forces it to be the ID of the purchaser?
So super difficult, very much an inconvenience?
The ticket scalping issue seems simple, the name that bought the tickets has to be present and show ID that matches the name on it. That way a scalper can't just buy them all
The Takeaway: STOP BUYING any kind of tickets from ticketmaster! You can also write lawmakers (or sign the petitions that are everywhere) and DEMAND they enact legislation to punish bad-faith ticketing -- or better yet, demand they BUST up the ticketmaster monopoly.
I wish I could like this a million times. Ryan pretty much always puts out bangers, but this was straight gold. 10/10. Even the ad was one of the best.
That's one of the amazing things about Ryan: he manages to make even the ads fun. (Though, obviously: always always always do your own research)
I wanted to see a metal band at a small local venue, just last year they stopped selling tickets through their own site to sell through ticketmaster. It's all just one section standing room only and tickets were at most $25 for like the big acts. Now they are $150.
Damn. That's just ridiculous. I thought the more alternative/"undergroundy" stuff would be immune to the Ticketmaster tyranny, but I guess I should be happy I live in a country where they don't have that strong of a position.
@@perlundgren7797from what I understand ticketmaster controls all the major venues too. So once you reach a certain level of fame you're kind of screwed.
If I remember correctly they have to go thru ticketmaster. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to play at that venue. It's real bull crap and (I think) is illegal, in the US at least.
Oh buying concert tickets in 2023 is tight!😂😂😂
Everybody loves ticketmaster. And being Slapped!
The slap in the face is PERFECT.
