Degrassi41 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 They work for StubHub, so I doubt they'll be doing anything that will cost their job, but unfair as it may be their pricing is legal. Until there's a national law against re-sellers and not these varying state-to-state laws they'll be able to weasel around this shit. In the meantime, send an email against the merging of LiveNation and Ticketmaster: antitrust.complaints@usdoj.gov The problem really begins and ends with the promoters and if these two massive companies can get a corner on the market you can expect ticket prices to go through the roof.

Jasonli18t Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Does your insider know enough to blow the lid off this instance of obvious price gouging? Wikileaks could be used here. More than the MSG gig itself, I want to see justice carried out here. price gouging laws are for emergencies...like food and water and gasoline. not rock concert tickets the reality is they will only charge as much as somebody will pay, and will lower the price until a buyer is found. this is capitalism. it's not always fair, but it works, and the constant passing of laws that run counter to this process will eventually find their way to your civil liberties, i promise. /political diatribe.

ArtsyChick Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi all, I know the price/accessibility situation is dire, but recently I'm not as pissed off, and starting to buzz with excited impatience for the gig. I wish that feeling for everybody. Then afterward, focus on a ticket buyers' uprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoroy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Is it possible to know the set list beforehand? My friend just told me he might have found out what the set list is going to be for this show but I would imagine we would never know until the actual gig. Plus I saw that Muse started playing Citizen Erased again :O If we get that I will die happily at the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtsyChick Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm sure it won't happen, but if you do find info on a future setlist, PLEASE do not share it! Or at least, hide it in a spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellamyspiano Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Muse won't decide until about 24 hours before, if not the actual day of the gig. The only time they plan (a little further) in advance is when they are playing epic stadium gigs such as Wembley etc, but even then things can get switched about last minute. Ride it out, and leave people guessing. Some of us really don't want to know p.s - CE FTW!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenshin11212 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Do want @ setlists they've been playing in Japan. Also, what's with the recording situation? Because usually non-professional cameras are allowed. But I've been reading around that some people have been getting their camera's snatched. Maybe that's just how the rules are in Japan.

Clearly, price gouging laws don't apply here. But monopoly laws surely do. And in this case, they can't argue that it would be a "natural monopoly," so no new laws should be needed to keep this merger from happening. Your point about laws finding their way to our civil liberties is a good one. But this has been happening for a while, and will likely continue until we have none left. Sad, but true. Support the ACLU (if you're American, or even if not ) as this is probably the only entity with sufficient power to continue to fight for our liberties. Down with fascism!

Degrassi41 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 They say you can't but when you go through security they've never snatched them. As long as it's not a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destephticon Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I always bring cameras to shows and always get them in, I used to not because it would say no cameras and I would get so pissed when I saw all the cameras in the air. It's hard to keep cameras out though because pretty much every cell phone has a camera as well. I'm thinking of bringing my flip to the show but I'm not sure yet because the only camera I have is a Nikon and those do not get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtsyChick Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Just don't wave the camera around in plain sight. I usually keep them at the bottom of my purse and I'm sure guards have spotted them there, anyway. Only once did I have a camera confiscated - in Hartford, CT. I got it back, but for years after, I only used disposable ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-duck Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 at the VA U2 show I was holding my big camera in my hand and had a smaller one in my purse when I went thru the security check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destephticon Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Once I had to put a camera pretty much down my pants to get it in, that was in Canada, but it worked, I also have done the in the bra technique which also has worked. Now I just bring my bag that has a zipper on the inside with another pocket and put it in there, the guards never check those little pockets.

bellamyspiano Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Shove anything in your bra, it works. Like Haribo. No one takes the Haribo. 'What's up with your tit?' 'It's deformed.

Kenshin11212 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 When I went to the U2 gig in Giants Stadium in September, I had my gigantic camera with me. And by gigantic, I mean almost as big as a pro camera. XD They let me in no problem. Same with when I went to a My Chemical Romance concert at MSG in 2008. Had my chunky camera with me. I'm planning on getting a Creative Vado HD so I can record the concert. Since it's like half the size of my camera, theoretically I should have no problem bringing it in with me.
