'Ticketmaster will now show how much you’ll pay for tickets — fees included — before checkout. The company announced the “All In Prices” initiative on Monday as part of its efforts to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s ban on junk fees, which goes into effect on May 12th.'

(It doesn't go into effect on May 12; it's been pushed back)

The Verge · Ticketmaster will finally show the full price of your ticket up frontBy Emma Roth

“Young, 79, is preparing for his Love Earth tour with his band the #ChromeHearts, with performances across Europe and north America between April and August. Young will play two concerts in the UK, headlining Glastonbury festival on 28 June and BST Hyde Park on 11 July.

The most notorious recent example of dynamic pricing was for Oasis’s UK tour: the huge demand meant that #tickets that were originally £148.50 rose to £355.20. Fans were outraged and culture secretary Lisa Nandy called out the practice, saying it was “incredibly depressing”.

#LiamGallagher was initially unrepentant, telling a fan to “shut up” after they complained about the prices, but the band later distanced themselves from the issue, saying: “#Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management”. While calling dynamic pricing “a useful tool” they also acknowledged its use in the UK ticket sales resulted in “an unacceptable experience for fans”, and did not use dynamic pricing for other territories on their world tour.

Not only have #TheCure banned dynamic pricing for their tours, they also set ticket prices low and have confronted Ticketmaster over other fees. In 2023, after seeing that US fans were being charged service fees that were sometimes greater than the face-value cost of the tickets, Smith took the company to task, saying he was “sickened” by the fees. #Ticketmaster backed down and offered a $10 refund on the affected tickets.”

Just finished watching the #Blur documentary to ‘To the End’ about the journey to their Wembley gig in 2023. Brought back all the memories of an absolutely amazing night.

Then saw latest #Oasis reunion misery. Ticketmaster declaring without disclosing the evidence that some fans are bots and cancelling their tickets. This, after dynamic ticket pricing.

#Ticketmaster curdles music.

#Ticketmaster er koko på mange vis. Et av dem er at de med tilfeldige mellomrom insisterer på nytt passord, et annet er at de tar vare på de gamle passordene så de ikke kan gjenbrukes, og da har vi ikke en gang kommet til at appen ikke funker med noe annet enn Chrome som default browser. Firefox får en blank side, ikke en feilmelding engang!

OM det er slik at du bruker #Ticketmaster (evil!) på din #Android telefon og har satt #Firefox som default nettleser så vil du slite med å logge inn.

Den krever nemlig at du bruker #Chrome som default nettleser for å kunne komme til logg inn sidene... så da må du sette Chrome som default slik at du får logget inn og hentet frem billettene du har kjøpt 😡

Etter logg inn kan du alltids skifte tilbake til Firefox igjen (anbefales).
