Several potential ticket buyers also claimed that they were reportedly suspended from the Ticketmaster platform. Additionally, some claimed that the platform had allegedly crashed several times even before the tickets sale began, however, Ticketmaster denied it.
Many people also questioned the high prices on the platform Here are some of the responses made on X, formerly known as Twitter:
Another netizen tweeted:
"It’s ironic, isn’t it? The very platform that enforces face value policies ends up being the biggest culprit."
"The issue is that Ticketmaster can set the face value at whatever they want if the demand is there," wrote another user.
"This is the new Ticketmaster. Surge pricing. The more demand, the more they increase the standard price as it’s their belief that REAL fans will pay the price..." added a tweet.
Several other artists bashed the platform for the expensive prices of the tickets. A netizen tweeted:
"415 for a standing ticket... Absolutely disgusting. Beyond disgusting."
"I hate that they’re allowed to do ‘dynamic pricing’ it’s just @TicketmasterUK scamming people out of money," added another user.
"The dynamic price goes to the artist and the team. Blame them," said a user claiming that it's the artist who would decide the prices.
