What a ridiculous decision......if Ticketmaster's service was not bad enough - less competition is really gonna help :mad:

 

Watch prices go sky high with the new company syphoning many of the tickets to it's 'sister' companies to sell at even more stupid prices.

 

Until a law is brought in to only allow tickets to be sold at face value then these companies (& the vermin on ebay) will continue to take the p*ss.

Ticketmaster sell at face value, it's the booking fees that are a little over the top. However, all agents seem to charge booking fees thiese days, unless you can avoid using them and pay for tickets in person instead.

Agreed that Ticketmaster will sale at face value, BUT it's their tactic of giving a large percentage of these tickets to their sister companies ie getmein.com to sell on at a higher price that should be out lawed.
