Minogue pointed out that the tickets on eBay for up to five times & 39; cancelled their nominal value will go head to head with eBay in the & 39; goal, the elimination of the resale of tickets for her concert at Wembley Arena return. Minoque l & 39; demanded cancellation of the & 39; arena, so that & 39; they resold.
The demand was so strong for these concerts in London, the cards were in less than five minutes.
The singer& 39;s Web site & 39; warns that the fans distrust of sales over the Internet, that the ticket is lost, stolen or not, the seller may also not every ticket. This was launched with a list of suitable sites for the purchase of tickets, including the network Ticketmaster approved as a supplier.
Not surprised at the power Ticketmaster had a hand in the & 39; cancellation of tickets for the small, too. They were also in London & quot; T in the Park & quot; the concert ticket cancellations to some of the same reasons.
In to understand where the artists are from, you need to examine this practice on both sides of the coin. The artists and promoters & 39; s not like the fact that in a capitalist society, the free market reigns. They & 39; re not getting a cut of markup - and the government are no more. & 39; N
If there was no market for these tickets, the dealers not to sell. Wholesale and resale, if someone a & 39; wants something you can sell them easily, and the benefits.
But to speak & 39; practice a free market, there should be a free market in the first place, which means that the competition. The first map of & 39; industry, c & 39; is essentially a monopoly.
Ticketmaster has contracts d & 39; exclusively with more than 70 percent of clubs and theaters and more than 90 percent of large ar nas the United States. Their contracts d & 39; exclusivity to ensure that, if the scene is independent if the sponsor of the event is & 39; under contract with the network, Ticketmaster, the tickets must be sold exclusively through their placement.
The band String Cheese Incident is trying to do its share in 2003 with the sale of tickets directly to its own fans. They use their fan club, to avoid the fans, the countless Ticketmaster d & 39; allegations, to Tom Petty and Dave Matthews & 39; agreements. As a result of the monopoly on the Ticketmaster locations, which in size, to their fans, they were not able to play, San Diego. They have tried, the mega-giant ticket for violation of the law.
Ticketmaster countersued, the band merged with their contracts.
String Cheese Incident were based on the cargo spaces, maps, the artist by promoters and places of entertainment. They could lead & 39, sometimes up to 50 percent of the house, and then for only four US dollars cost & 39 after an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Ticketmaster, compared to 30 to 35 percent gain.
Ticketmaster changed the rules to make to the tapes to qualify for the cargo spaces, the restriction, which they sell tickets and to define what exactly these conditions. String Cheese and other groups & 39; n & 39; could & 39; up to eight percent of the seats after the change from 2002.
Incidents like these and Pearl Jam & 39; of action against the seller of a ticket draw a frightening. That is what happens when a big company, like all other media in this country, the consolidation of up to & 39, there is very little choice for the fans even longer.
