Things that make you sad, angry, or upset.

Propagandhi is playing at The Burt in September, and tickets went on sale today.  I made plans with some friends to go see them, so I was queued up online at 10AM to buy 4 tickets right as they went on sale.  They sold out within seconds, and I didn't get even a single ticket.

Just for fun, I went and checked StubHub an hour later, and there are a BUNCH of tickets listed - $50 tickets going for $275+ ea.  This practice should be illegal.  This process was intended for legitimate fans who can no longer attend to be able to offload their tickets.  Instead it's been co-opted by scam artists and scalpers looking to make a buck.  Fucking despicable.

Yeah, that's really annoying.

Radiohead didn't allow reselling during their last tour. Tickets that couldn't be used were put back into the pool and resold for the original price. I think they are the only band to successfully so something about it.

Wow, good on Radiohead for having such a setup to help their true fans to attend their shows.
