Re: ticket bastards and NYC



I've never heard anything more unfair than this lottery thing, how is that even legal? You stand there for hours and the guy who walks in at the last minute get to draw a better seat?

It's already such a lottery to get good seats when you are a fan. Of course one can't expect the venues or ticket companies to think about the actual music fans, they're only interested in selling their tickets.

It's the same everywhere. Here you have to be a paying member of the company to have a chance for better tickets. It's really a privilege of the rich. And often a venue will reserve the first rows for big companies like banks, they buy all the good seats and give them to their clients or employees who of course rarely care about such things. So fans will only have bad seats and the artists will play to people who don't even want to be there.

Sigh

Alas, there was no "letting" this person in front of me.  The poor,
intimidated kid working the desk said it was the jerk's right to have
a lottery and I had to abide by the rules.  I tried to appeal to the
jerk's sense of decency, of which he clearly had none.
