And in a few short years she’ll be talking about birds being drones and the Fast and Furious movies.

He's going to give her all your nuggies. He told me. I thought you should know.

You don't want to know his plan for your chocolate milk.

Cute that you think you'll get anywhere close to her to spew your nonsense. You're getting a one way ticket to Nunavut.

No, not because of me. Because of destiny.

You get that horseshit from your mothers side, not mine.

For all intents and purposes Ticketmaster did handle the demand. The issue is that brokers bought a large portion of them.

Every drop of anything that is sought after creates traffic issues.

I would think that she has enough clout to do what the Dead did, sell tickets herself.

The real solution is to do what Pearl Jam has seemingly done. They are initially sold on Ticketmaster but they cannot be sold for above face value.

All tickets are Restricted from Transfer and Non-Refundable. Pearl Jam has asked Ticketmaster to ensure their fans have access to tickets at face value. To achieve this, Pearl Jam has directed that tickets be restricted from transfer.* On the night of the show, all guests will be required to enter with the ticket purchaser. For fans that cannot use the tickets they have purchased, Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster will offer a Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange* beginning this spring. There will be no additional fees charged to Exchange users for buying or selling tickets on the Exchange. *Does not apply to shows in New York or Colorado.

The thing is that Taylor Swift (and other artists) don’t actually care. She’s getting press about how much her tickets are selling for on the resale market which is good for her. Just seems… empty.

This is correct. Pearl Jam took a stand a while back which greatly inhibited their touring ability (and thus income) but they refused to allow their fans to be gouged by the monstrosity that is TicketMaster.

That being said, it's still balls difficult to get PJ tickets unless you're part of the Ten club.

I'm a little lost in the sauce. How are tickets being bot-bought then bot-scalped any different than normal? I tried to get Greta tickets a while ago and got the spinning wheel too, only to go through the "something went wrong" aka seats not available/already bought hoops x3 at checkout, then saw they were going for $650+. Took 5 mins

Hasn't this been happening forever? I'm not saying it's ok, because it's not, and I've called for a crackdown on this before, but why is it getting caught in the internet shitstorm all of a sudden? Because of the sheer demand/more absurd than normal gouging/the fact that it's Taylor Swift?

It’s not anything new. It’s just a group of people that have never experienced it before.

Also, Swifties are privileged.

They’re also going for thousands of dollars on the resale market.

Ok so right, kids are learning what it's like out there lol

Thousands of dollars on resale is a definitely worse than normal though.

I should have tried to buy tickets and then resold them...

Resold them to you, at face value, of course

Now we’re talking. I worked too hard to get this board PS5’s and Xbox’s at retail to get up charged.

Had In & Out in Texas last summer. I really wish they would expand out here to the East Coast.

I live out here and rarely go but whenever i do it hitsss.

I found In-N-Out to be overrated but I did eat it two or three times over a two or three day period when I was in San Fran/Santa Clara.

Although I don’t know if we should really count the one because I only went in because it was like 40 degrees and pouring as we walked around the Wharf.

 

[Lord Defect]

These aren’t even all that great of options. The spicy chicken sandwich from chik is superior. The grilled cheese burrito from Taco Bell is amazing.
The now extinct W burger from Wendy’s was the best cheeseburger around (from a fast food place) hands down.
This is a bogus poll.

also if you ever go agian:

In n out double with pickles, chopped chillis, both kinds of onions (whole grilled and chopped grilled), extra toasted bun. Crazy extra i know but trust me lol

ooof never go to the warf one. It's the longest line ever and probably the worst in quality...Pretty sure that's the only on in the SF area. Even taco bell in the bay area is ass (and they don't have that many of them), idk wtf sf is doing wrong with their in-n-out/taco bell.
