Even putting the vertical monopoly aside, their app is straight up useless and doesn’t work. I spent 3 hours trying to buy tickets for a show today and the app first wouldn’t let me log in, then it wouldn’t let me put in a pre-sale code to get discountes tickets, then it crashed multiple times on the payment page. So not only are they the only place to buy tickets to a lot of shows, they make it almost impossible to actually buy the tickets from their own freaking service.
But they will gladly resell you the tickets they sold themselves for 10X face value
Big bank bots are buying up the tickets for credit card points redemption, which is why the site gets ddos’ed, causing the site to not work for regular users. Credit card companies are listing the tickets for resale at the inflated rates their customer points are equated to.
Banks have found another avenue of profit in this.
