Another pos greedy company/ monopoly. Break it up!
Hopefully this is the nail in the coffin
Gee you think these corporations seemingly dead set on taking as much money as possible from their customers would be concerned about other people wanting to steal as much money as possible from their customers
bruh just let me hand my data to criminals directly at this point. its been leaked so many times
I’m sure Ticketmaster will find a way to charge consumers for their info being hacked, with service charges added,of course.
Last class action against Ticketmaster I got a bunch of ticket vouchers. Only good for concerts that I had no interest seeing.
Incoming “identity protection fee”
Aren’t they being investigated as a monopoly? Pretty pretty pretty convenient
Incoming “identity protection fee”
Bring back the ticket stub!
That will be a lack-of-security fee!

What possible reason does Ticketmaster have to do so?
I’ve had to reset my TM account password 3 times in the past week because it keeps getting locked by too many attempted logins (not by me). Called them and they basically said there’s nothing they can do and just blamed the data breach.

Ahh yes this classic song and dance. Sounds like someone’s about to pay a “massive” fine 🤣
To mitigate losses, we will add a $3 per ticket CyberSecurity Fee, to offset any future payouts for class action lawsuits regarding our failure to protect private information.
There’s going to be an HBO docu series on this company in about 5-7 years.
Australia’s ABC did a great investigative piece on their greed last night on the [Four Corners program](https://youtu.be/eIwufcP1mvY?si=PTKn1KgVFD5k9aBG)
It’ll be a few million dollars followed by business as usual on the following day.
Ticketmaster / livenation AND ITS AFFILIATES were responsible for the sharing of personally identifiable information. Their legal claim will rely on terms of service agreements and ironclad indemnification that the LN/TM have for themselves.
Folks think artists have a choice when it comes to feeding this horrific monopoly. The answer really lies in the venues which are entirely tired in to the TM/LN ticketing and venue map. A Michigan venue dared sell tickets to a concert on their own, only to find that TM/LN intentionally boycotted and didn’t allow any touring artists to use their venue for a good 3 years, leading to it being sold under distressed conditions.
