Speaking of #TicketBastard:

I've been to one event, already, this year, that wasn't ticketed through them: was ticketed through
#EventTim.

Going to a show next month — a foam party (what a throwback to my 20s that is) that's also ticketed through
EventTim.

And I just bought tickets to an October [show]() that's ticketed through
ShotGun.

So, maybe
#TicketMaster's finally starting to lose some of the stranglehold they have on this area? I mean, before #Echostage and #Soundcheck were bought by #Insomniac (who long ago sold a significant stake to #LiveNation, events there), ticketing was only very occasionally through TicketBastard. Frequently, tickets were sold through #EventBrite, #TicketFairy and a few others. Nice to see that other venues are trying to break away and don't seem to be losing the ability to book artists because of it?

I used to travel for a living. Occasionally, I got sent out to Silicon Valley for gigs. If my visits were during Sharks' home-stands, I'd usually try to get tickets. My wife was/is a #Sharks fan and I'd use it as an excuse to pick her up team paraphernalia.

…But I left that job in June of 2009. Even so, I think my last trip to San Jose was a year or two before that job ended.

This is the first time
#TicketBastard has emailed me about buying #Sharks tickets in a number of years. Pretty sure I asked to be unsubscribed from Sharks-related mailings back in 2010, possibly 2009. Really not sure why they're mailing me about Sharks home-games, again? Gonna guess they re-injected an (really fucking) old subscriber list or something?

Why, I mean why why why do we need an app to show the ticket to Ed Sheeran's concert???

Why can't I just get the pdf instead of installing the app, create an account there and import the ticket from my online account?

Sometimes I wonder what the world is becoming. And yes, I feel like a proud boomer who regrets the old days of tech. Just send me the damned pdf!!!!

"Maybe, something like this [anti-genocide boycotts] will shame this will scare, or shame ... festivals or companies or whatever into making more ethical choices.

I mean, this is before we even get onto the antitrust case that the US DoJ is taking against TicketMaster and Live Nation, which is next March I think that starts. Big money is never clean."

Is there a more shit ticketing platform than Ticketmaster?? Forced a password change in the middle of buying tickets. Lost my place and had to start all over again. No option to enable 2FA. Cunts.

And let's not even mention the nearly $10 handling fee for DOING MY OWN FUCKING HANDLING.

On the plus side we're off to the Tillies ⚽ #Ticketmaster #Matildas #Tillies
