Robert Smith v Ticketmaster
A few months ago, Robert Smith He harshly attacked the ticketing platform Ticketmaster’s pricing policy for the band’s US tour.
Apparently, the British formation had been warned about the resale business in various parts of North America, so Ticketmaster apparently told them that it had certain strategies to prevent tickets from being distributed illegally and at unfair prices. In this sense, the group was convinced that Ticketmaster’s strategy could help them regulate the resale situation.
The famous singer was disappointed because when the tickets went on sale they were far from what was expected, since thousands of fans began to denounce the extremely high prices for the group’s shows. After several conversations, it seems that they finally reached an agreement and the platform also promised to lower costs in future locations.
