Buy a ticket if you only plan to go to the damn show.

Free Market Bro! Capitalism at its finest!

We were talking yesterday how only the person who bought the ticket can go to the show. If you can't make it, you have to sell it back to ticket master.

All this hustling for money, scalping Swifty tickets to make a quick buck just reinforces the term that I heard one day from an acquaintance:

"We live in B.C. B.C. should really stand for Bring Cash"

Some people are hustling in order to be able to live in the Lower Mainland?

She said she's not going to sell it. Her hubby wants her to sell it because they're going to Paris for the show, but she doesn't want to.. She's crazy.

She saw the movie, she's going to say taylor in Toronto, and Paris... It's a whole different level of crazy.

I told her to sell Toronto and then enjoy her time in Paris as it would be paid for. But, she won't do it.

Going to two concerts on the same tour - the second one won't have the same feeling

Yup, that point was brought up.

She said she has a song called, Paris, and they will be in Paris. It's going to be amazing.

I think what grinds my gears the most is that most of the people I know that ticket scalp in this city don't even need the money.

I had brown buddies even back in the day that would literally buy swaths of tickets for every major concert in Vancouver simply to flip them at a profit, just for party/fun money. I always hated that. There are people who legitimately want to see a given artist, and who knows if it might be the only opportunity for them to see this person.

Who are you to think you're so important that you'd purchase 40-50 tickets to yourself to simply force a family or a fan to pay far more?

With that said Ticketmaster/live nation have created this type of hype machine which in turn creates the resale market

For sure, but honestly this has been a unique problem in this city going back to the mid 2000s.

It's just gotten much worse.

Stupid as it sounds, it seemed a lot more fair way back when I was a kid and you'd go to the ticketmaster booth in the morning in the mall and lineup before the mall even opened and stand in line and buy a ticket to something lol

I mean even in that case... it's on my to go do the work to get my ticket... and if the scalpers scalp okay fine but at least they put some work in too showing up somewhere and lining up.

unit 11-08-2023 08:24 AM

i don't have a major problem with people buying and reselling tickets but i do have a problem with bots and highly organized scalpers that probably hire others to run multiple accounts and buy as many tickets as possible. also i think being able to buy 8 tickets when most people cant even get 2 is kind of silly. i get it, people have 3-4-5 kids sometimes and everyone wants to go, but for every family that brings 8 people there are hundreds of bots that buy 8 tickets for resale. when tickets sell out in 5 seconds and the whole site crashes that's rarely organic.

Marketing genius. She knows how to connect with her fans (girls, mainly). Sharing her life with them. Check out the video in the link.

Razor Ramon HG 11-08-2023 02:19 PM

So who got the code? Everyone I know is waitlisted, lol

murd0c 11-08-2023 02:32 PM

I got wait listed and I'm not surprised at all lol

Gerbs 11-08-2023 02:35 PM

Not a single person reported a W yet

Hondaracer 11-08-2023 02:38 PM

Wait list..

HonestTea 11-08-2023 03:16 PM

Waitlisted

donk. 11-08-2023 03:37 PM

Wait, why the fuck is half of revscene on the wait list for Taylor Swift tickets.

Page 4 = scalper central (I approve)

Teriyaki 11-08-2023 03:53 PM

No luck for myself, only on it as an extra lottery for friends that really would want to go.
Do know someone that was actually chosen so its not a complete scam :)

Manic! 11-08-2023 04:55 PM

Can't beat the bots. It's in ticket masters interest to sell to scalpers so they they can make money reselling them.

danned 11-08-2023 09:35 PM

what so good about this BS

N.V.M. 11-09-2023 05:34 AM

Kiss was awesome!

carry on...

pastarocket 11-09-2023 07:20 AM

Waitlisted too.

winson604 11-09-2023 11:32 AM

Wait listed have yet to come across anyone who actually go through lol oh wells won't lose sleep over this I can't even name a single TS song it was purely for shits and giggles and maybe a chance to see a sceptical. I have gone to a concert at BC Place before but it was tame and I know won't come close to TS or even Ed S, or Coldplay when they came recently.

Vansterdam 11-09-2023 12:41 PM

Waitlisted.

3 of my coworkers got the code and another managed to get row 1 floors and he's the biggest scalper I know lol

Gerbs 11-09-2023 01:14 PM

Crazy, one friend got the code, sold it for $2.5K on FB. That was for an opportunity to que up to buy it. Prices for tickets were cheap though $135 > $438.

EDIT: Same dude is listing the code for $4K OBO lol
