When I noticed this article on Yahoo today I was glad to know that I was not alone - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090204/ap_en_mu/springsteen_ticket_glitch. I too tried to buy tickets to Springsteen's May New Jersey shows on Monday to no avail. Ticketmaster had sent an e-mail late last week saying that tickets would be on sale at 10am yet when I went to the site at 9:50, the tickets had already been on sale and were already gone. After getting multiple error message screens, I too finally got a screen saying there were no tickets left but offering resale tickets for over $200 for the upper deck.
I'm sorry but if Ticketmaster is going to have a monopoly on the sale of tickets for big shows, something should be done to ensure that the tickets are actually getting in to the hands of individual buyers and that Ticketmaster doesn't get to screw its own customers so that its resale company can profit. Start writing your legislators now.
