sorry but i’m really confused by all of this, i’ve never tried to get tickets for a concert before btw.
why is everyone mad at taylor and her team, i thought it was ticketmaster and their enabling or resellers who fucked this up
ticketmaster is a HUGE part of the problem, but In my opinion, taylors team, and taylors tour promoter, could have worked to help ensure there were things in place to avoid this.
do a real boost system - we already proved our ability to watch taylor eat cookie dough during rep to earn boosts. We can watch music videos, stream her songs in special URL windows, etc. This would not cost fans a DIME, but it would help taylor, and it would help create a true fan tiered system like rep
fans with boosts get presale codes for the first presale at 10am tuesday.
Use shopping windows so the people with the most boosts get to go first, say 10a-Noon, then Noon-2pm, and so on
fans with no boosts but who get picked for presale get picked for a presale that starts on wednesday at 10am
then you have a general sale
this is a way that gives ALL fans an equal shot regardless of how much money they spend on albums, to boost their ability to get a top tier presale code/place in line. is this perfect? no. not everyone has time to do this. But is it better than a fuckin hunger games like today? yes.
TICKETMASTER will never do this on their own. TICKETMASTER is here to make money, they couldnt give a flying fuck if atw tmv even exists and dont care who buys the tickets, in fact they prefer scalpers to buy and resell so they make more money on the fees.
TAYLORS TOUR PROMOTER (who she hires) and HER TEAM (which she runs), would have to say to Ticketmaster , this is what we want to do to ensure MY REAL FANS WHO LOVE ME FOR 15 YEARS can get tickets more easily that joe schmo
this is not what occurred.
if i, a dumb nobody can think this up based on rep, surely people in the industry can think of it and do it. no one chose to. so, thats that.
