WE’RE CANCELLING TICKETMASTER

[@steviebyers3161]

Reselling tickets shouldn’t be allowed due to scammy shit like this. That’s so sad

[@paradoxthewiser3727]

It should be if you can't make it to the event. I do see where you are coming from though.

[@justhaku9240]

I was there the literal second the kendrick pop out tickets went on sale and somehow got stuck in a queue with 60k ppl, by the time I got in hours later (again despite being there the exact second it went live) the $50 tickets were 500 for the worst seats all the way to 1k for the best Not a taylor swift fan, but I feel bad for them it must be actually impossible to get a ticket to her show unless you're rich

the way their resale system can still be a scam is crazy😭😭 i once bought tickets on resale FOR A CONCERT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY cause my country doesn't even have ticketmaster and i was shitting my pants up until the scanning, thankfully it worked out but the fact that it can go wrong is terrifying

[@-raeyarayne-]

Of everything I wheezed when Ethan said “what do you mean”about Santa. I wasn’t expecting it. He was so quick with it.

[@sinswhisper9588]

having worked security events in the past i can confirm that many of the security and ticket takes/gate checkers are basically volunteers only there to work the specific event and they are only given enough info to do their job to the bare minimum -- so it wouldnt be hard to to sneak in to the event with a high visibility vest and clip board or scanner or something to make you look official (as long as you do it with confidence)

[@Kimshu6]

It's so frustrating hearing that they desperately bought another ticket only for the lady to just close on him for genuinely no reason. Like, I'm sorry but that is just an exception you make. You wait for that person who's clearly been fucked over to work it out and let them in when they figured something out. Maybe no one else if they actually came late, but this person who's been standing around for 30 minutes trying to get in? No, you let them in.

[@odetowoo]

went to allegiant for a concert and it was such a massive mess (huge sea of people thank god there was no pushing or anything). my father who did not have a ticket told the completely overwhelmed security person that he was going to walk us to our seats (nosebleeds) and the security guy just turned away. my dad ended up staying at the concert for free when I spend 300 on tickets lmaooo

6:17 My grandpa (RIP) used to make sangria at home with wine and fruits, it was super fucking yummy, and every sunday we'd have a family gathering all his grand kids would get to drink a tiny glass of it, i thought it was a normal thing tbh, and i don't have any health issues because of it, but i guess it's something he took from his Spanish father's culture? idk, anyways, it was really watered down so i don't think it ever got any of us even tipsy. He'd also let us take a little sip of his beer every now and then.

[@IvanKosovan]

Great ad. Never buying from Ticketmaster ever again. I would be so pissed.

[@rowannnnnnnnn]

24:13 JARVIS MENTIONED?!?!!!??! I’m not that surprised bc duh friendships exist lol …but like it still felt like a weird ass jumpscare

[@mintyglitches]

i can understand the ticket person not letting you in after theyve stopped scanning tickets bc they could get in shit for doing so, but what i cant understand is them NOT TELLING YOU THAT THEY STOP SCANNING TICKETS AT THAT TIME SO IF YOU BUY MORE MAKE SURE TO DO IT BEFORE THAT TIME SO YOU DONT GET DENIED

[@kz0311]

Ticketmaster is the worst! My recent experience wasn’t as bad as Ethan’s but I was trying to get tickets and I was in the queue for an hour and it kicked me out of it a minute before they went on sale and then the code to unlock the presale vip tickets wasn’t working. So now I have an extra ticket cause I bought a GA ticket first before I figured out the vip code cause I was scared they were going to sell out.

[@sarahlister868]

So sorry that happened, Ethan. Truly hoping the antitrust lawsuit succeeds in breaking up livenation-ticketmaster. They own a lot of venues too so there's even more pressure for acts to book with them...trash all around.

16:18 Damn him, now that song's stuck in my head.

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

59:38 Why yes, Seán. Unfortunately I suffered, in real time, through the idiocracy that was the OJ Simpson Trial. The best part about it was the unrelenting stingers from Norm MacDonald, who never missed an opportunity to berate the infamous double murderer, on _Saturday Night Live,_ long after the ridiculous verdict was reached. The worst part was that, during the trial, I had to listen to a bunch of my coworkers at that time continuing to defend the asshole, like some asinine 90s style Warren Commission, despite the fact that he kept proving how guilty he was. *Cut to nearly thirty years later and we see history repeating itself!* This is why I absolutely love _The Cable Guy (1996)!_ Though it gained eventual popularity in the years that followed, very few people back then seemed to grasp what was a brilliant satirical look into America’s obsession with both the OJ Trial and the Menéndez Brothers Trial! 🧠👀🧠👀

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

Kinda wish I’d said *asinine 90s style Warren Commission IN-REVERSE!* I’ll just leave the edit here, as opposed to re-editing my comment. Also, for context, I turned twenty in 1994; the same year OJ horrifically murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Also I am so sorry the ticketmaster bullshit happened to you Ethan, I've heard so many cases of people being burned by that damned website, I've narrowly avoided paying way too much to see Into the Spider-Verse in concert (only to then find my friends who bought their tickets through ticketmaster went through a similar situation you did). I hope you get to see Kendrick perform DNA someday.

[@TheTomLees]

My worst concert story: June 25th 2023 I went to see Muse in Milton Keynes. Muse were awesome, and they had two opening bands - The Warning and Royal Blood. The Warning were sick, but I didn't see Royal Blood because as soon as they started playing, a dude next to me (who was off his face on something) tried to start a mosh pit and he roundhouse kicked me in the ribs. Me and my partner left to get some water while they played, but when they finished about half of the stadium left. We were there for Muse, but I cannot imagine paying nearly £300 just to see a support band who were playing a 20 minute set 💀 that whole concept alone is just as bad as being kicked in the ribs by a Royal Blood fan.

[@crownclowncreations]

*Worst concert experience:* It was me and my friends' very first real concert and my dad drove us 4 hours to see Black Veil Brides live in Copenhagen. The warm up band was better than BVB. Dude was crowd surfing, interacting with the audience and was just so much fun to watch! And for some reason the band was SO late(?) I think we waited 1.5-2 hours before they finally went on stage. It was still dope, but the wait was awful, and it kinda sucked that the warm up was a better experience than the actual band we paid to see. BVB also played just as long as the warm up. Oh, and the original date was cancelled due to Andy Black being sick, so we also waited a year more for that lukewarm experience.. *Best experience:* Marilyn Manson. Same venue and stage as BVB funny enough. He was so interactive, kicked the speakers, threw a tambourine into the mosh pit, threw around the mic stands, did weird yoga poses on stage, and he finished with my favorite song "Cocaine White" while fake snow fell from the ceiling, and then without a word left the stage. Everyone waited for him to come back, but then the lights turned on, and we figured that meant the show was over. It was magical! 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐ (Also, lil flex: was asked on stage by Jared Leto, who was my idol as a teen, at a TSTM concert, but being a small guy, I never made it over the fence, the security wouldn't let me pass, and I had barely made it through the pit. Best and worst 5 minutes of my life. This was before I knew what a sh*tbag Leto is)

Legally, not only can you get a learner's permit for a car at 15, but you can get your learner's permit and your actual aviation license at literally any age so long as you have enough practice hours with an instructor. You can be 12 and fly a plane legally in the US and 20 and not drink alcohol.

i remember the OJ case being on the tv back in the 90s, it felt like my parents were following it in the news foreeevvveerrrr, unlike anything before. i was like 7, tho, so my memory of it isn't detailed. as for bad concert experiences.. i think it was at the house of blues in boston?? on the way out after a show in 2017 or 2018, there was a young woman getting hassled really uncoolly by some dude, maybe her partner, and none of the staff were doing anything about it, as if everybody clocked out at the end of the night before the show was even over. my group was looking for help for that girl, but she and the dude vanished before we even found one security guard. :/ made the vibe feel out of control and not secure, imo. anyhoo that's what i got to share. errybuddy take care now. :]

Swelled right up afterwards and had to use a wet washcloth to help out. B) A couple years ago I wasn't watching where I was going and got stung on the bottom of my foot. Had to limp my way around the house and put the baking soda paste on it. IT DOES WORK!! The first time I tasted alcohol was my 21st birthday drinking a Twisted Tea

“Hail Mary full of grace, the lord is with thee, blessed are you amongst women blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of god pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
