A Synopsis of My Beef With Ticketmaster

BY Hugh Janus

Ok so, everyone and their mom has decided to go on tour this year - Drake, SZA, Bryson Tiller, Beyonce, etc. I, being the broke bitch I am, would like to attend said concerts of the artists mentioned earlier. Sooo, I make my way to Ticketmaster on 10 AM Wednesday morning hoping that I can obtain tickets for Bryson Tiller. I get in the queue for three venues and patiently wait for my turn. Finally, it was my turn, and tickets that were supposed to start at $60 actually started at $300! Crazy, right? It’s giving Drake prices for nosebleeds. So safe to say I didn’t buy tickets the day of the presale. But, there was general admission going on sale on Friday at 10 AM so I was like “there’s no shot, but anything for my baby Bryson.” So, here comes Friday. I just got out of class at 9:50 am and now, I am on a REXL in the virtual waiting room. I waited some more in the queue, and then I was in. I knew I wasn’t going to have better luck, considering that I was on a REXL too, and I was right. All three venues that I was looking at had sold out (yayayayaya). I was even listening to my Bryson Tiller playlist thinking I would have better luck. I was about to cry on the REXL lolz, but I’m a bad bitch so I didn’t. And, I know you all probably don’t give a shit about my tickets to some stupid concert, but GUESS WHAT?? I ENDED UP GETTING FLOOR TICKETS. Did I feed into the resellers? Yes. But I do not regret it at all.

EDITORS’S NOTE: COME TO OUR PITCH MEETING ON WEDNESDAY AT 7:00 PM IN THE LSC BOARD ROOM! BRINGING BACK THE RUTGURLS AGAIN AT THIS MEETING SO BE THERE OR BE SQUARE BITCHES. AND MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS CROSSWORD. I PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO IT.
