How to Get Rid of the TicketMonster
I love all kinds of music. Yet, I am not a big concert person. Except when the Cure comes to town. Their concerts are amazing and abundant. The Cure plays all their hits and so much more: a three hour goth extravagance. I wish they would play more from their darker Pornography or Faith albums.
The Cure just announced their US spring tour. So I tried to get tickets for their show at the Mountain View Amphiteater, their “San Francisco show”. Sadly, I was unsuccessful. That’s why I don’t like concerts or festivals. Getting tickets is such a hassle, not to mention the Ticketmaster fees.
Cure’s head goth Robert Smith is not having it with Ticketmaster: Ticketmaster pissed off the wrong goth.
There has to be a better solution. Why not get back to getting tickets in person? Register with a real ID and stand inline. Six or eight tickets max per person. Scalpers and Taskrabbiters are welcome to join the queue. Tickets are digital and can only be transferred at face value. Problem solved, no?
