Ticketmaster, oh Ticketmaster. Let me count the ways....you still screwed everyone out of the ticket codes that you sent out to millions of people. I ran over the list that Ticketmaster (LiveNation) posted and as it was posted on Tuesday, there were a total of 480 events. The nearest one to me for the dates listed, Maryland Heights, MO. Almost a two hour drive away from my hole-in-the-wall town of 900. And for that matter, there were very limited shows that the codes could be used at. Don't get me wrong, I like 90's music, but how about opening up those codes to ALOT more concerts and not just the ones that LiveNation sponsors.
Ticketmaster has pissed off a lot of people out there. Granted be, it;s nice receiving free concert tickets, but at that same time, you shouldn't be able to pick and choose what concerts that the codes can be redeemed for either. That is how they intended to screw everyone when it came to the settlement. Did they have it already planned out that way if they lost? You bet your bottom dollar they more than likely did.
As of today, people are still receiving error messages presented to them regarding that codes cannot be used for certain venues, when they are considered to be on the list of available ones. This is bringing back no confidence within this company as they are still trying to skirt the decision of the settlement. Sure they have doled out almost $400 million, but in the long haul, everyone will still stay screwed over.
UPDATE 7/6/2016
As of today, and a week ago or so, all tickets that Ticketmaster have setup for pointless concerts are actually all sold out for code holders. The site states that more are being added periodically, but nothing has been posted as of yet and most of the concerts that are/were listed on the site, are well into the end of this year to the early part of next year.
