Thought I'd give the chromecast audio a whirl, won't work with basic spotify, won't work with YouTube. Gave deezer a try... Can't decide if deezer is crap, or the chromecast audio is crap.

Will be fun to do a whole album back to back challenge, vinyl vs cd vs streaming.

They won't get it. People purposely post ridiculous prices because either:

1) They are speculating, and will buy the ticket for less elsewhere if someone is stupid enough to take them up on it;

2) It's a fake listing so that they can have access to certain info you can only get as a seller. If someone bites, see #1;

3) It's an inflated price to drive up the average listing price, and to make the other tickets listed at $500 look like a bargain by comparison.

Having said all that, I find it hard to believe that I was looking at a "No Tickets Available" message 30 seconds into the on sale. :roll: I'll get in somehow, but something's definitely messed up someplace. :?

There was an interesting documentary about the ticketing trade here in the uk. Third party resellers get special access to buy them in bulk. They were showing employees at these companies buying them and them selling them on. Also ticket master has the getmein site plus they are also selling their premium tickets. With demand for tickets rising and all these middlemen and systems being added there seems to be very little chance for anyone who hasn't seen Springsteen to ever see him perform live. I definitely think all tickets should be named, photo ID at the door and no possible transfers. Max 4 tickets per person. Can't go? Tough luck.

They do paperless (credit card entry) for a lot of seats here. They aren't transferable, but the brokers still find a way. They always have the advantage.

[Adje]

atm same is going on here in the Netherlands. Apparently Seatwave, which is a compagny owned by Ticketmaster, is getting all the great seats and selling them for ridiculous prices. Fans can't manage to buy those seats by ticketmaster because they are gone before official sale starts.

Of course Ticketmaster is denying that they reserve the tickets for Seatwave :roll:

Dutch politicians are looking into the matter to see if something can be done about it.

It's a long existing problem but it got 'hot' news here with ticketssales for the Adele concerts

It actually may not be Ticketmaster funneling the tickets to the secondary market as much as it is the promoters, who then sell them themselves (Stubhub doesn't actually sell tickets, they are the marketplace and take a percentage as fees) and pocket the profit. No doubt the number of tickets the promoter receives is negotiated in the tour contracts.

Here's an interesting post on Reddit from someone who claims he used to work for a ticket broker:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/3wdv2d/did_any_nonrobot_have_actual_luck_securing/cxvsniz

[Adje]

True, but the fact that Seatwave is actually from Ticketmaster doesn't help their credibility

You are correct. So they own ticket master sales fees, getmein tout resale fees and seat wave resale fees. It's a bit like playing monopoly on your own I guess.

Cool- If you decide on Chicago, I can give travel advice. ;)

Also think about Milwaukee- Bruce always does great shows there, and Chicago is a short drive or train ride away. Milwaukee should also be an easier ticket than Chicago or LA, though he's doing two shows in LA.

Never knew so many Springsteen bootlegs were available to buy on Amazon.co.uk till now. They even have the entire '78 radio broadcast collection in one 15 disc set just for £15. Long gone are the trading days it seems. Before that I paid flipping £30 to get one of those shows on Crystal Cat releases.

Apparently this is due to an EU copyright loophole to do with shows recorded outside of the EU making them I guess not really bootlegs but just live recordings anyone can release here.

Bruce must be pissed off.

Still the awesome 78 shows in one collection for so little money seems very tempting...

You can download them all for free- even Crystal Cats. Legal or not, I refuse to give those people any of my money- I'd rather give it to Bruce and buy the official archive releases.

Speaking of which, Santa Bruce gave us a present today! :D

The only reason I download bootlegs is there is no official release I'd happily spend money. Now Bruce has started releasing official recording I'll happily buy them. Especially with how well priced they are.

I'm perfectly fine with downloading bootlegs for free (not official releases). The ones Andrew was referring to are the same recordings that one can get for free (if you know where to look ;)) that are being sold through a legal loophole- I won't pay for those. So they print out some artwork and put it in a case- I can do that myself.

[Adje]

Basically that's what bootlegs are. Alternatives when there is no official release. They should be shared/given among fans.

I have a load of Meat boots but none from a complete deadringer show. I would love to have one. Last year I was offered one for money. Absolutely affordable. It's against my principles though, so today I still have none.

Very happy I got tix yesterday to see Meat at the Lynn Auditorium on March 23rd. I was"FORCED" (LOL) to buy VIP seats since all the good seats sold super fast for the venue Fan Club presale. Tix go on sale to the general public today - if there are left. It is a very small venue - just over 2000 seats. At least I do have good seats.

I was told by members of my family that we will not be getting VIP the next time we go see Meat. Which bums me out as I really enjoyed my seat at the Seneca Alleghany Casino but they were not happy when I told them they had too fork over $200 to me cause I got VIP. But I do understand the items we got for VIP was a little underwhelming but it was exciting to have VIP for a Meat show.

Glad you got seats and the show should be great I will be hoping for a Buffalo show to get added the NY shows that are listed are 7-8 hours dives for me so wont be going to those shows.

I hate Basketball but what StubHub did to this Kobe fan is not right. Please read and share. I would also ask everyone to stop using StubHub but I can't tell you what to do. Thanks

Everyone loves to blame and hate StubHub, and I do think they might have done more for the guy in this situation just in the name of good customer service, but the real bad guy in this scenario is the original seller. StubHub DOES NOT sell tickets. They are the the facilitator of the sales, and for this they charge a fee. They also offer their "Fan Protect" Guarantee, which people really need to understand. The most StubHub is really obligated to do is refund your money, which in this case, they did (plus gave him $250 in coupons).

I can understand the buyer being pissed- I would be too. However, one needs to understand how the secondary market works. Unless you buy tickets from the original issuer (Ticketmaster, etc.), nothing is ever truly guaranteed.

My guess of what happened in this situation is that the seller was speculating on the tickets, meaning that they didn't truly have them in hand, but listed and "sold" them, believing that they could supply the tickets later, presumably after they purchased them elsewhere for a lower price. Professional brokers usually have a good idea beforehand of what they can get. While this is technically against StubHub's policies, they can't realistically verify if every single seller has tickets in hand, and probably wouldn't anyway. You need to watch Stubhub listings, to see if they mention a specific seat number, or just a row; also, listings that state tickets will be delivered at a later date indicate that some speculation might be happening. Or, perhaps the seller changed their mind after prices went up. But in either case, Stubhub's policy is that the tickets that are delivered have to be as listed, and if not, the buyer can either keep the tickets or request a refund. Since the the seller hadn't actually delivered the tickets to the buyer yet, I'll bet they used that policy as an out (stating they made a mistake in the listing and couldn't deliver the tickets) to renege on the deal. Stubhub could have "bought" comparable seats for the buyer and eaten the money, but they are not obligated to do so. Sucks for the buyer, but that's the reality of it.

I'll admit to buying tickets on StubHub, and sometimes I've gotten really good deals, while other times I've paid over face. It works both ways. But you have to understand the market and how it works. I do think their fees are pretty high, but I also like knowing that if there's a show that I really want to go to and get shut-out, I still have an option to get in where I know that the worst that could happen is I don't get into the show, but at least I will get my money back if that happens. Scalpers have always existed and will continue to exist. It's easy to say don't buy from them, but somebody always will,* and I'm not selfless enough to take one for the team if I want to see a show that badly (sorry, not sorry). StubHub is the big boy on the block (and technically not brokers/scalpers themselves) so they get all the bad press, but it's a much safer way to go than any of the hundreds (or thousands) of brokers and scam artists that are out there.

My guess is that this buyer is going so public with this story in the hopes of getting some attention and possibly getting seats from Lakers or some other sympathetic individuals for his trouble.

*I have heard that there was a verified sale of two tickets to a Springsteen show at MSG selling for $3,000 each- clearly, some people have so much money that they just don't care.

I admit, I felt the same way. All it got you was some typically overpriced concert merchandise and the good seats. Lol. Not sure what they need a special "VIP host" for. I still paid for VIP cause I wanted the good seats!

Woke up this morning to hear that David Bowie had died, three days after dropping his - well, now last - album. That's really quite sad :(

[tonyloaf]

Early morning in Bangkok .... Chicken and rice it is

[Guy]

So, following the sad death of David Bowie it made we think about our very own superstar.
There were a few radio stations in the UK that played Bowie tracks for most of the day. A fitting tribute?
A legend? I wasnt a big fan of his music but just wandered if Meat would get the same kind of recognition in the UK, US or Europe.
I think not.
"Legend" status can very subjective.

I could't remember if it was a stratocaster or a telecaster, but it had a heart of chrome and the voice of a horny angel.

Getting drunk and listening to the River... Is there anything better?

[Julie in the rv mirror]

Getting drunk and listening to the River... Is there anything better?
Yes. Getting drunk and listening to Darkness or The Wild and the Innocent. ;)

[Sebastian.]

Getting drunk and listening to any ML or BS is just amazing. Great music great times.

So Seb, have you decided to come across the pond for any shows, or are you holding out for Euro shows? I think Rock in Rio has been confirmed.

[tonyloaf]

And my gf is Portuguese :) so I think a visit to her family in Lisbon in May is a great plan. What you think Julie :)

[duke knooby]

Duke gig with several Guinness, and a bottle of baileys chaser was pretty damn great... Just need the snow to arrive for near perfection :)

[Sebastian.]

Work is way to hectic to get leave so waiting for those EU shows. No way is he coming across for 1 show!

[Sebastian.]

Yeah, I'm angry.

[Guy]

Yeah, I'm angry.

Hulkster time?

[Sebastian.]

Hulkster time?
Oh yes. Hulk smash.

I don't know if you all have seen this it's from five years back. It's Country Artist Jamey Johnson covering 2 out of 3 ain't bad as a Country song. Let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/JGEIcdYOuHo

I've seen that- I think it's a great version! That song really lends itself to a country arrangement. I stumbled on this version by Keith Urban a while back:

[tonyloaf]

Disgusted by the amount of people that pick their nose whilst driving.

[Sebastian.]

Getting drunk on Monday, thinking about my ML and EY friends.

[duke knooby]

John Whittingdale is apparently a huge Meaty fan.
He is a Cabinet Minister.
He is also one of the "rebels" opposing Mr Cameron on the Brexit issue.
I can only conclude Meat's music brings sound judgement and common sense to a person's character.

THE RIVER, THE RIVER, THE RIVER.

Got tickets for Bruce. But had to keep trying as utter piece insane crap TicketShitter kept saying there were no seats left. If there is one company I wouldn't mind seeing disappearing or going broke it would be TicketMaster. I don't get how they can get away with operating the way they do "Search for tickets" instead of just showing what is available, keeping you waiting for ages (this is 2016 and cloud servers/networks can easily throttle demand they have) and that mental captcha malarky. Outrageous for the money they turn over and profit they make. Valued at $8 billion but in reality must just be worth $8 considering their asshole technology.

[duke knooby]

i've been working close to home this week. 5 mins travel, pop home for lunch.

simple pleasures :)

If you can believe it, there are worse ticketing systems than TM. You haven't lived until you've spent an eternity in Tickets.com's "Virtual Waiting Room". :roll: :mad:

Hah I actually worked for Tickets.com 10 years ago. But no I didn't have anything to do with their online stuff. Working on Chelsea FC season ticket stuff was interesting. I believe a small venue nearby I go to uses them. Not the best system I guess but really don't get how TM get away with 2005 User Experience and technology since they are the biggest player. All the tout reseller systems in the UK look and work far better. Sadly these support and facilitate a horrible aspect of concert ticket sales.

I had GA tickets for Bruce at Madison Square Garden in my hot little cart, and when I clicked "Buy", I got an error and the tickets were gone (many reported the same problem). :? My friend who works in IT happened to be sitting next to me at the time (he was also searching), and his explanation of what he thought happened was a bit too technical for me, but he said it was a problem in the system, and as users, there's nothing we can do about it. You would think with all the money TM charges they could correct these issues.

Yes, but how do explain nine battered sausages and thirteen fish cakes in the last fortnight?
