K thanks for that summary you bunghole, now how about you tell me who should get the difference between sale price and market price of an in-demand ticket, and why?

Captain Internet posted:The owner of the ticket. Because it's his or her property to sell for perceived value. Yeah yeah yeah, sure. Good simple and crisp statement. Idea sounds good and just. But when every concert ticket sells for "45" and goes on the market for "400," and the owners mostly received such tickets through institutional advantages or weird back channel arrangements, do you not see even a little bit of a possible correction to be made? Btw I'm not sure if you're up on current legal stuff but tickets aren't necessarily property in the way you're thinking.

Inspector_666 posted:Peter Thiel should get all of the difference. Agreed. What a noble and bright man. And the seats I have the SBL for for the Super Bowl were on stubhub for 30x face value and I didn't even get a chance to buy them because of the way the ticket distribution process works (less than 5% of the seats actually went up for sale, IIRC). So whoever should get the opportunity to resell them definitely shouldn't be that guy. And if the resale market can bear $499 for $45 seats maybe just maybe those aren't $45 seats and the venue should rethink the ticket price.

There's a really big difference between tickets to the Super Bowl and tickets to some random midweek MLB game. It's the stuff the Yankees are doing to artificially inflate their ticket prices that pisses me off.

Yeah that's bad and it is also totally different from the concert and in-demand ticket situation that was being discussed in the article. The only thing they scenarios have in common is the end buyer is hosed big-time!!!!

quote:Perhaps nothing captures the meta end of this short con as well as Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation. In Lost, an American movie star named Bob Harris (Bill Murray, who [vapes deeply] seemed old when I first watched this but seems young when I watch it now) absconds to Tokyo to shoot a commercial for the Japanese whiskey brand Suntory. Suntory pays him $2 million — though his sale feels more [vapes even more deeply] existential. [vapes deepest of all] Great website you got here Simmons, big success.

Either it's a poorly disguised "sponsored content" article (in which case they should be disclosing loud and clear, or at least take the piss out of it like The Onion does), or it's a really labored, unfunny parody of TV show "thinkpieces." Either way, there's no reason for this to exist.

He got canned from that job months ago because UFC didn't like his reporting on Rory MacDonald being in a contract dispute with UFC and would likely be a free agent after his June fight. He hasn't been one to tow the UFC company line.

He seems to have failed to report on being physically assaulted for asking a question. I mean UFC is the bad guy in the whole thing but Helwani wasn't exactly some independent journalist.
