Apparently they won’t sell you seats if you leave a single seat next to your order. Fuck this shitty monopoly

    You can see how everyone would leave an empty seat and they’ll won’t be able to sell dozens of seats because of this, right?

      Oh noes, the giant corporation might miss out on tens of dollars after charging exorbitant fees! Maybe they shouldn’t leave seats in odd numbers at all then.

        The only infurtiating thing here is you feeling entitled to other people’s right to view the show and others’ money - corporate or otherwise.

          What the fuck are you talking about? I tried to buy tickets from a site that said tickets were available. Then it said I didn’t buy enough tickets.

          Seems like you’ve been licking too many corporate boots to understand this post. Maybe you can buy the extra ticket for me if you feel so strongly about the poor monopolies.

          If it’s a popular enough show, there will be a single person out there who will still be willing to buy the seat. Or a group who is fine with being split up and will just take whatever seats are left.

          If it’s not a popular show, then what exactly is the fucking problem?

          People like this and the ones who responded to you aren’t thinking. They see the words Ticketmaster or Corporation and immediately lose any sense of higher-level reasoning - they just start metaphorically foaming at the mouth. Other trigger words: libs/trump/edison/GMO/coal/big tech/ you get the picture

          On topic to the OP -

          • it’s not Ticketmaster setting these rules, it’s the venue
          • they probably had the seating rule listed somewhere along the process and you just skipped over it
          • you can just… not fucking go
