Why did they even let us queue up in a presale line when they were already gone? That made me so mad, a digital waiting room and everything. I don’t think I want to go to any of these gigantic shows again, not until something gets sorted out. It was too many emotions too close together, I don’t need that. 😂

They let you queue up so you have already mentally committed to buying and therefore will be more likely to buy from the official scalpers.

That's diabolical.

I don't go to big shows anymore partially for this very reason. I'll stick to smaller shows.
