    Don't worry my dear first-page Libertarian Thread poster, I'm not asking the government to intervene.

    I'm just saying that you can't pretend to be the person of the people (or punk rock fuck the man like Blink 182) and then happily use dynamic pricing to price out a huge segment of your fans right before the holidays.

    Rage Against the Machine got hell for their pricing and theirs were less than half of what TSwift is charging

    I don't think dynamic pricing is on. I think its just "VIP" sections. The other ticket prices seemed reasonable for one of the most popular acts on the planet.

    Prices are high but I haven’t seen anything indicating prices are changing so it doesn’t seem like dynamic pricing is on

    dynamic pricing isn't on. VIP and some floor tickets are insane but I don't think any of the others are totally unreasonable.

    No I get it. Some people don't have the stomach for capitalism that others do. Not a problem. I understand you feel you are right. Not getting into it further itt.

    Reddit and twitter seem to think prices are changing as in some seats become "platinum" but I wasn't chosen so I can go only off word of mouth

    if there are 18,519 people ahead of me then I think they gave out way too many codes if you can buy 6 tickets

    Attempting to flip my floor seats and get some sides paid for. Mine are very reasonable relative to other StubHub listings in the section.

    I'm no IT guy, but I would think they would/should know the level of traffic their servers can handle and plan for that?

    Especially since they're the ones that handle and send out the pre-sale codes. Like how could you possibly be surprised by how many show up when you're the one who sends out the invites

    I wonder if Amazon, Google, or Microsoft will ever think about dethroning Ticketmaster? They all have the size, power, and capability to influence and win ticketing supplier contracts. Plus the most important part...they all own more than enough server farms to allocate whatever resources would be necessary.
