TimmySmith 2,782 Posted September 23, 2018 Finally something everyone can agree on. This disgrace of a company took ripping all of us off to a new level. My guess is lawsuits will bankrupt them in 2 years. http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-ticketmaster-scalpers-20180920-story.html In my mind the Stadium and Arena owners are 100% complicit.

wiffleball 4,645 Posted September 23, 2018 I headed up LiveNations Tax Dept for a bit. Cool at first, but the stuff I could tell you... These two were merging when I was leaving. With all the disruptive technology out there shaking up Industries like Yellow Cab Etc I don't know why the hell these fuuckers still exist. Personally, I would push for a decentralized empowering business model. Meaning, instead of one or two National entities, make it such that venues themselves could become their own Ticketmaster. Hell, I could run through the proposal in my head. Multiple options available: Venue centic Artist centric 3rd party consultancy, etc If ever there was a business Primed for this kind of thing, meaning, A disruption of major proportions, it is this industry. Think about it, almost your entire customer base are first adopters by Nature. You're replacing a universally reviled business name and model. And, major potential for Revenue. Anywho yeah, I don't think it shatters anybody's world to find out that these guys are corrupt in yet another way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iam90sbaby 2,125 Posted September 24, 2018 You really know how to be an ass dont you? Did I say something incorrect or you just can't handle the truth? The way he handled and treated his customers is typical of a liberal douche. All these guys act the same, just like Jeff Bezos. Wants to preach morals yet half his employees are on the verge of PTSD just from working there. Fock liberals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no difference between the right and left in that aspect. Well thats a hypothetical situation, so lets just stick with what actually happened, is that okay with you? I think there are real differences between a person who leans lefts brain and a person who leans right brain. There is sh!t on both sides, but these liberal business owners are something else. I can give you countless examples. Also remember the tax cuts? I bet if someone did the research I bet a majority of those companies that rewarded their employees after were a mainly conservative business owners. For left leaning business owners to do that would be them submitting to Trump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone knows the truth, including you but you just can't make yourself type it. As far as there being on both sides, I agree. But you ONLY bring up the on the liberal side. You're as bad as the left leaning business owners in your last sentence.

You wont answer it for some unknown reason. Just because a scenario has not personally happened to you, doesn't mean you cant answer how you would react. I'm not going to go research who runs what company or what their political stances are but I'd bet all the major oil companies are right wing. Can we just use those as my answers?

Cruzer 1,992 Posted February 27, 2019 George Strait is christening the new Dickie's Arena here in Ft. Worth - November... Tickets were available starting at 10 a.m., at $180 face value. By 10:08 a.m. I finally got in, was told I was #2000 in line... 15 minutes later my turn came up. The website said all tickets were gone, however they were still being offered at a Resale price of $500 (and around there)....................... I hope TM takes a flaming hot poker up the ass and goes bankrupt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
