Scoring tickets to watch the Cure perform live should be just like heaven... but Ticketmaster is making the process hell for fans. The Cure’s Robert Smith is ‘as sickened as you’ by Ticketmaster’s latest fees debacle.
Scoring tickets to watch the Cure perform live should be just like heaven ... but Ticketmaster is making the process hell for fans.
The English post-punk, new wave band aimed to keep ticket costs affordable, with some as low as $20. But fans shared screenshots of Ticketmaster shopping baskets in which exorbitant added fees were tacked on for their U.S. tour.“So @thecure and @RobertSmith wanted to keep ticket prices at a reasonable level for fans on their upcoming North American tour dates. Of course @Ticketmaster absolutely rinsed them with ridiculous extra charges,” Burgess tweeted.
But Exposito was another “verified fan” charged additional fees, amounting to more than $120 over asking price. The “Boys Don’t Cry” crooner has been posting frequent updates via Twitter over the last week, and said the band did not agree to Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing,” “price surging,” “platinum ticket” model, calling it “a bit of scam.”
