Wtf ticketmaster?!
 
Was in the waiting room to get tickets. Then at 12 it randomly placed me in line and there were only 500 people in front of me. It gets to my turn, lets me select how many tickets, and then it just shows the resale tickets. How the hell did they run out when only 500 people were ahead of me? Probably god damn scalpers. Should put a bullet in those mother ****ers heads.

dude, they suck. They've gotta do a better job with all the bots.

Bugeater 01-14-2019 12:19 PM

Scalpers got them all. Prepare thy anus.

Bearcat 01-14-2019 12:20 PM

Yeah, it's ****ing terrible... I was in before the queue and it never put me into it, then I got to the front of the line and saw two blue/face value tickets, but it wouldn't do anything when I clicked on them.

God of Thunder 01-14-2019 12:21 PM

I had a countdown for 40 minutes, and then do the captcha, and then there are 2000+ people in front of me......I don't even know how.

It looked like they tried to add extra security for it, but it didn't seem to help.

It was random. It didnt matter how long you sat in there, only mattered if you got in there before 1159. After that it was randomized and you had to hope to get lucky. I was in the waiting room for like 8 minutes and was number 500 in line.

Did not help at all... :cuss:

I think once the public finds out about the cold, prices will be around, if not below, face value costs.

Before the game saturday I saw some tickets for 65, but im not sitting in the snow. Cold I can deal with, but not cold with snow.

Unless the Chiefs held some back they were all scooped up this morning during the Jackson County/STH presale.

EdmontonChiefsFan 01-14-2019 12:31 PM

500 in people in front of me, went through the line in about 5 minutes. Found seats and when I hit purchase it said "securing seats" and then all of a sudden "sorry, the tickets cannot be purchased on this device (my home computer) try using another device, tablet or phone.

I doubt it. Ticketmaster loves bots. It doubles their profit. They get to charge you a convenience charge for every purchase.

OnTheWarpath15 01-14-2019 12:34 PM

I'm gonna bet the Chiefs have some seats held back. They did for the Divisional.

It's all a matter of right place, right time. Prices will be higher than previously posted, however because demand is higher.

They only had a certain amount allotted for the presale.

Sassy Squatch 01-14-2019 12:35 PM

This happened to me in the presale queue as well.

Chiefs Pantalones 01-14-2019 12:39 PM

If anybody wants to sell me two for not outrageous price PM me

Chiefnj2 01-14-2019 12:39 PM

You'll have better luck getting tickets by driving around and randomly towing cars out of snow banks.

Yeah, the "verified resale" thing has to be a big money maker for them.... sadly, I've been using it lately because stubhub fees (among others) are getting more ridiculous than TM.

I doubt you'l be surprised by this, but some of those Verified Resale tickets are being sold by the Chiefs.

Shady AF, but it happens.

In a buyers environment, the average buyer wanting tickets for themselves has no chance against the bots.

Mama Hip Rockets 01-14-2019 02:14 PM

Same for me. I was "in line" for like 30 minutes, and then it just took me to the same NFL Ticket Exchange page that's already been up the whole time. What a waste of time.

Have you tried ticketsforless.com? They have no fees. I use them exclusively now. They also currently have a promo code AFCCHAMPIONSHIP that knocks $15-20 off the total. I got 2 tickets in upper level, 40-yard line, row 35, for $299 each. That was the best deal I've been able to find.

ProTip:

All of these "no fees" sites have just built the fees into their price.

Shop around.

With that said, that's about as good as I've seen as well.

I've shopped around. Every other site has the same prices, but with added outrageous fees. This is by far the best resale site.

RINGLEADER 01-14-2019 02:23 PM

So glad I got my tickets last week.

The prices have gone full Norman Bates...

Renegade 01-14-2019 03:31 PM

Actually finding some decent prices on ebay.

be CAREFUL of Ebay tickets.

sedated 01-14-2019 03:43 PM

I'm done trying to get "real" tickets when they go on sale. Last couple concerts I wanted to go to, I did everything I could to be at the front of the line, only to get in and see 95% of the tickets were already sold.

It does make me feel better that in a lot of these cases, secondary market prices have dropped below face value.

Quote:

According to the Canadian outlets’ mid-September report, Ticketmaster secretly helps scalpers grab mass quantities of tickets for resale and collects kickbacks from their secondary sale, which takes place via Ticketmaster-regulated platforms. While Ticketmaster’s secondary market is legitimate, allowing mass resale violates the company’s own stated policies.
Quote:

Ticketmaster, which is owned by live entertainment juggernaut Live Nation, enlists resellers to grab large batches of tickets from its site and then flip them for higher prices on a Ticketmaster-owned, invite-only platform called TradeDesk (touted by the company as “The most powerful ticket sales tool. Ever”), according to the report. Ticketmaster gets extra fees from the pricier resale tickets on top of its fees from selling the original ticket. CBC and Toronto Star journalists were told that despite the existence of a Ticketmaster “buyer abuse” division that looks for suspicious online activity in ticket sales, the company turns a blind eye to its TradeDesk users who grab lots of tickets. A sales representative told one of the undercover journalists that there are brokers with “literally a couple of hundred accounts” on TradeDesk, and that it’s “not something that we look at or report.”
Ticketmaster is pure evil.
