Warning! Do not buy any tickets from ticketsnow - a site advertised on ticketsmaster.com !
I received an email from a fan today, and I think I need to warn everyone now. She was very upset about the ticketmaster sales, and how she bought tickets way too expensive from the ticketmaster.com site. She paid $198 for a $79 ticket - and it seems as if this is the same company: Ticketmaster and Ticketsnow.
I will show you a picture of the ticketmaster site. Someone else recently tried to find Robin Williams tickets via ticketmaster, and got the message that no tickets are available - but hey, we have some from our partner company ticketsnow.

But it even get´s worse. I have read that other people which bought there tickets on the official ticketmaster.com site via ticketsnow could not get into the show. At the box office the people got told that these tickets seem to be bought from a scalper, and the venue will not honor these tickets!!

It is unbelievable what is going on there in the USA. In my opinion this should reported to the artists too, and they should start doing something. I repeat: I can not understand how a company is allowed to earn 3 times as much on a ticket as the artist himself! And it seems as if ticketmaster is the ONLY company selling tickets for all events in the USA. Strange! Free market or communism?
If you talk to Paul Simon or one of his musicians in the future, maybe you can report that.
