Wait. Your first comment wasn’t sarcasm? Or is this one as well? I’m having trouble believing that anyone besides Ticketmaster would honestly feel that way.
Comment on How the fuck is this my problem, ticketmaster?!
driveway@lemmy.zip 6 months agoThe only infurtiating thing here is you feeling entitled to other people’s right to view the show and others’ money - corporate or otherwise.

If it’s a popular enough show, there will be a single person 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?

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.

There’s plenty of other seats you can pick that don’t leave a single seat out there. If everyone had their choice they’d have an empty seat between every group of people going to the show. This is to prevent that and perfectly reasonable.

Do you think this should also apply to air travel?

That’s not an apt comparison and while I definitely think it should reach a point in ticket sales where they turn this feature off (about leaving single seats), we both know that people would absolutely leave single seats all over the place if they could (I do it when I go to the movies).
Im also fairly certain that this is analytically driven and been shown to cause less tickets to be sold, which is most likely worse for everyone (not just ticketmaster/the venue).
There are things to call out monopolies on or hate for big corporations, but this is an instance where it may actually be a better overall outcome.

This is standard for air travel at least over here. If you want an empty seat, you got to buy it. 🤷
