@@swagchomp seems like you're thinking inside the box
So that's why I can't ever get tickets normally.

This is why I support paperless tickets and that major artists like Drake, Ed Sheeran, and others are starting to support because they don’t want their fans being ripped off.
David Lopez That's good. It's best to get concert tickets from a reputable source.
Yes, they want you to use TicketMaster resale to charge their fans a lot of money without admitting that the artists themselves are charging that price. I don't have a problem with that, the just need to be transparent, thats all.
I didn’t get it why paperless ticket can be a good thing ?
@@taif3157 it is not. Paperless ticket is what Stubhub ticketmaster etc..do. so what he said doest make scenes
NEVER BUY RESALE
**war flashbacks to trying to get tøp tickets**
Twenty Paphonies i be seeing u in every comment section 😂
Just took my kid to a TOP concert last night. It's not just the scalping, although that is absurd. It's everything. Once you get in, you're forced to empty your pockets and pray you don't get thirsty, etc. If we cared about consumers, this wouldn't be a thing, and the artists themselves are not blameless in this.
I stopped going to concerts long ago unless they are reasonably priced. Why be a sheep for these big money machines that are getting carried away? Everyone is lining up pinching pennies at the gas pumos but willing to spend over $500 each to go and see a concert? Not this guy.
Jerry Robitaille There are several reasons why concerts are so expensive. I heard that illegal downloading is a culprit.
Dwayne Wladyka Concerts are really the most effective way for a band to make money but the public will soon tire of the ridiculous pricing of these events. I for one am not into being herded like sheep into a huge venue (with the security issues lately at public events) and paying like I hired the band for a private show.

This aged well L o l
Let’s ask the questions that need to be raised. It seems there are way too many double standards..
1. Who is forcing these people to purchase those “overpriced” tickets?
2. Who is actually putting the value on the ticket, the seller or buyer?
3. What’s the big deal? If you don’t want to be “scammed” then don’t purchase the tickets. If nobody buys these overpriced tickets then the value will drop and so will the prices. Duh...
People it's simple! Stop buying tickets for these shows online an then the artist will maybe do something about it, seeing that there show is not selling out.
BIKE GEAR MOTOVLOG Yeah, only when the artist isn't filling up the seats will it change, until then nobody gives a frig.
People will always buy them online. The performer won’t care. They assure themselves that all their tickets r sold by selling them to brokers. The broker takes a chance, because not all concerts r popular, so once in a while they lose money. But if a broker is good he will make a profit. It’s just a business like anything else.
Possibly. But you have to remember that as soon as a scalper buys all the tickets, the show has sold out.
Thanks
No one is forcing these people to buy the tickets. He's an entrepreneur who saw an opportunity and took it. These people are willingly handing him insane amounts of money for 2 hours of live music. No one is forcing them to do it, it is not a life necessity.
Do you really consider that a valid defense for cheating the system?
Jimmy He is taking advantage of people. That is wrong.
Osiris Malkovich In America we call him a job creator.
He's not the one putting value on those tickets his buyers are
Agree, this is pretty much basic economic law of supply and demand.
This is just jealousy at it's finest
This video is an advertising for Stubhub

...just pray your people don't elect him prime minister like us southern neighbors
He is not first. Having watched multiple episodes of fifth estate, the marketplace and other investigative series, I can tell you there are mega scammers in every indistry
Scalping one slow running settler at a time.
If you are going to do this company make sure you investigate all corporation especially these banks.
Try to buy supreme lol
BUSTED!
watching this cause I am thinking of how to get good Monsta X tickets :(
Julie Frey did you manage to get your tickets?
I’m suprise scalpers did not took the tickets in my city the tickets are still adorable really $60 $100 the most expensive, I want to
Go see stray kids but the tickets are now 2k , 10, 3k it’s insane I’m so sad
I love going to concerts . Scalpers are the worst they need to rot
completely unrelated and completely SPOOKY: 1:49 looks like she accidentally timed "the threads"perfectly with the background digital wave screen lines lol
If I want to sell a piece of rock on a re seller website or any similar service for $5000 dollars and I advertise it as a regular old, random piece of earth rock I found in a vacant lot a couple years back then somebody happens to buy it and I pay the right taxes on it, the reseller or service gets a cut, then the rest is my profit, it's capitalism at its finest.
False equivalence. People can get that piece of rock elsewhere for what it's value is. With tickets to unique shows that are scalped, that's not the case. Try again with a better analogy.
He legally bought the tickets and legally sold them, that is just capitalism, socks cost .75 cents a pair and we buy a pack for $20 , no one is acting like that's a problem, he found a legal hustle and maximized it
Make it so tickets can't be resold only returned that's solves the problem
Zunair Qureshi How can that be possible?

What is wrong with it .. just like every other business
Felix Walton Taking advantage of people is wrong.
Dwayne Wladyka so all business?
Dwayne Wladyka why the double standard? All business charge more for Their product or service. So should businesses cease to exist because they are bad? If so provide us with an ideal model.
Dwayne Wladyka Apple sells a phone for $1000 that cost $370 to manufacture
@Chris Rock those business create valuable services and products. Scalpers create nothing. It's literally racketeering; if you defend scalpers, by that same metric you may as well defend the mafia. No, it's not "just business". It's theft.
Don't hate the player hate the game!
Our members are making full time incomes but we do it all 100 percent legally.
There's nothing wrong with scalping. It's a business just like any other. At the same time, I, being a famous rock star myself, don't want my fans to pay more than what I ask for in order to go to my concert. It's my concert, it's my band, ... why should some scalper take advantage of my fans and money that should have been mine in the first place? Unless the scalper is secretly working for me.
It's not "just business". They contribute nothing of value to society, they are like the mafia.
MTGDog A lot of things don't benefit others, but just ourselves. We still do them right?
It's no, though. Imagine if someone went in to your local supermarket and bought your favourite milk, yoghurt, bread, biscuits, and fruits, and did that for every supermarkt in your state as well as all the online supermarkts you have access to. And these supermarkets will not get replenished with these items for the next three years, when the same thing will happen. You can now only buy these items for 20x the price from this thief. Is that fair?
@@billmartins5545 what are you talking about... ticket scalpers avg markup is 15-40% with a handful of outliers that the media goes crazy about (like 7x, but those literally dont sell). Also, concert tickets are a want and not a need so that's insane to compare going to a concert with literal necessities like groceries. Lastly, because its a want and not a need, if someone with more money wants to buy the tickets then wtf is wrong with that? That's called market making. Odds are the ppl with the most money are the least likely to get tickets if the finite supply is listed at the lowest possible rate - so basically people with less means end up getting the tickets. Why should the people with more means be left out?
He deserve jail time period
MrPrettyBoyChina for what? He didnt break any law
Its not illegal
Racketeering is illegal. Scalping is literally racketeering.
@@mtgdog5657 Wrong
Scumbag needs to do time
like your so innocent.. somethings $15 at the store & the cashier gives you $29 change back... *You put it in your pockets and say thanks just like everybody else*
Bear Don’t worry he will be 6 feet under one day.
Profit is not a dirty word.
I used to be a scalper and a broker for years.
While yes, you make money, it IS hard work.
Why did you quit?
Good go smd
Can you give me one ticket for my favorite kpop group ☹️
Nothing illegal with reselling tickets lol these people act like resellers are criminals
Nothing wrong if it was a like 10 or 20 dollars but double or even triple is the problem
@@spongebobgotthesudsbecause5169 no it’s not it’s illegal to bot tickets so the only way people pay resell is if they buy way after the release of the ticket

If it's not illegal then what's the problem? Leave the guy alone.
