Apparently they won’t sell you seats if you leave a single seat next to your order. Fuck this shitty monopoly
Someone in a different thread told me if you open up a separate browser and put the single ticket in your cart you can buy the seats you want, haven’t tried it yet but I definitely will next time I have the misfortune of using ticketmaster.
Good idea. And from the picture they clearly have single seats in a row left to sell, so someone managed to do it.
Alternatively, try incognito/porn mode
Ok…but why?
Ticketmaster is truly the bastard spawn of satan and corporate greed, an evil so foul and repugnant that merely speaking its name sends chills through all that hear it and sends children running to hide under their covers.
If Mark Cuban has the resources to take on the drug industry by creating a service to get reasonably priced medicine, can we ask him to make a new TicketMaster that doesn’t rip everyone off?
I have a friend who did this, quitting their job for ticketmaster to run it. If you run a venue, get in touch and I can link you guys up, they have a list of clients, testimonials and competitive pricing, with an ethos based around consumer-fair practices.
That’s started to become standard practice for anywhere with seating. Ticketmaster may implement it, but it isn’t the only company doing so.
It’s the case on every cinema’s website I’ve bought a ticket in the last decade.
Yea i bought a ticket to something recently straight from the venue’s website and they had the same rule.
I swear I’d buy tickets to anything if the sellers tagine was “we’re not ticketmaster/livenation”
Bought there a ticket for the first time and oh boy.
How can it be, that they have a centralized login but can’t share a ticket and need to log in to the specific country page.
You already have my login, just show me the damn ticket as “Tickets in country [XYZ]”. (eyeroll)There’s nothing mild about Ticketbastards.
It’s your problem because you have no choice, they want to see if you will buy the lone seat :)
Some of us go to concerts alone. It’s not that crazy to leave a single seat open.
Not that that should ever be the consumer’s problem anyway.
Sketchy ass link is sketchy
I don’t know who to use for image hosting these days since imgur went to shit
You can see how everyone would leave an empty seat and they’ll won’t be able to sell dozens of seats because of this, right?
Finally, someone who can clean my dirty boots with his tongue
Oh noes, the giant corporation might miss out on tens of dollars after charging exorbitant fees! Maybe they shouldn’t leave seats in odd numbers at all then.
The only infurtiating thing here is you feeling entitled to other people’s right to view the show and others’ money - corporate or otherwise.
What the fuck are you talking about? I tried to buy tickets from a site that said tickets were available. Then it said I didn’t buy enough tickets.
Seems like you’ve been licking too many corporate boots to understand this post. Maybe you can buy the extra ticket for me if you feel so strongly about the poor monopolies.

People like this and the ones who responded to you aren’t thinking. They see the words Ticketmaster or Corporation and immediately lose any sense of higher-level reasoning - they just start metaphorically foaming at the mouth. Other trigger words: libs/trump/edison/GMO/coal/big tech/ you get the picture
On topic to the OP -
- it’s not Ticketmaster setting these rules, it’s the venue
- they probably had the seating rule listed somewhere along the process and you just skipped over it
- you can just… not fucking go
WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR MEGACORP’S PROFITS!!!
