Ticketfaster.com Is A Scam Site They Sold A $35 Ticket For $150 And There Is Nothing You Can Do

[DanieRains]

They are pretending to be Ticketmaster and scamming people.

Be careful friends.

They are pure fraudsters.

1. That's why you check and double check.

Hard to feel sorry for anybody that would (and could) pay that much for tickets and not check.

Many of those sites also make it look like available tickets are scarcer than they are.

2. Funny Story About Overpriced Tickets

I found out The Fixx was playing at The Vic in Chicago, on the day of the show.
I couldn't find available companions, so I went alone.
Guy asks me if I need a ticket. $50. The tickets were $28.
I say no.
Then 2 other guys come up, but they had a 3rd ticket because their friend decided to take the overtime money.
He says "If you give us $15 for our parking, the ticket's yours."
So I paid $15.
Thing about that first guy: the show was a hundred or so short of a sell out. I knew it wasn't sold out by checking, you guessed it...Ticketmaster!

3. And you buy the T-shirts from the street entrepreneurs AFTER the show.

Amazing how much cheaper they are.

And. Yes that extra ticket was worthless to them.

9. Bootleg unauthorized merchandise?

I wouldn't buy anything like that since I believe the band owns the rights to their own merchandise

11. And I'd rather give my money to someone hoping to make rent and feed their family

Than someone on a private jet.

12. If you want to support criminal activity, that is your prerogative.

Maybe the ticket brokers on the ticketfaster website are also trying to support themselves.

At least they aren't probably breaking any laws unlike the steeet vendors who are stealing someone else's copywrited name or logo

17. Were you a hall monitor?

Just curious.

4. Crime does pay after all.

Even if the website is online for only a week they will have made
enough money to make creating the website worthwhile.

And speaking of crime does pay ... Trump proved that point beyond question.

5. I would think TicketMaster would be pulling out all the stops

To crush this site. It will definitely impact their business model and brand.

[JI7]

13. Even just seeing this quickly I thought it was about Ticketmaster

and took a moment to realize it was another site which is trying to pass itself off it .

6. It Is A Resale Site

We are a resale marketplace, not the ticket seller.
Prices are set by third-party sellers and may be above or below face value.
Your seats are together unless otherwise noted.
All prices are in USD.


They're basically a ticket broker.

7. Complaining to Visa and Mastercard will put these guys out of business

Do the credit card companies even know these guys are crooks?
Probably not, until people complain and demand chargebacks.

[MichMan]

14. Why are they crooks?

It is a ticket broker resale site. The price is listed before you agree and hit buy. They aren't scamming anyone and most likely operate legally.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

15. If they are attempting to deceive by using similar name and web design the credit cards might ...

… have some say in the matter.

Not saying that is the case here.

[alphafemale]

18. This s the same guy that wants to put people selling Tshirts in jail

See up thread

[MichMan]

19. Please show where I said they should be in jail?

Because I didn't

8. I just about put my fist through my monitor trying to get Foo Fighters tickets.

It's fucking infuriating. Ticketmaster just allows the bots to screw everything up and by the time you can actually get tickets, they're all sold out! Why have Ticketmaster when the damn bots are going to buy up all the tickets and then hawk them at Stub Hub for twice the price? Something needs to be done about this!

[raccoon]

16. That's what happened when I tried to buy Paul McCartney tickets

A few years ago.

Tickets went on sale at a certain time, bots got on, bought up all the tickets. Then offered them for resale at a much higher price.

If that’s how it’s going to be, I’ll pass on the concert.

[MichMan]

10. Didn't they tell you the price before you hit buy?
