It would be nice to have competition among sellers within a given venue. Even give the venue the option to sell single seats (rather than large blocks at some bulk rate).
For security reasons the ticket format should probably be the venue's choice, the bulk/block rate would probably include a specific time window for the bulk buyer to have their bonded agent print off the tickets on the venue's hardware.
- dathery 2y agoI'm very interested to see what that kind of competition would do to ticket prices. I've often seen Ticketmaster painted as the "designated fall-guy" for consumers to hate instead of the venues and acts which are (according to this argument) the source of a lot of the junk fees. This is also the position that Ticketmaster claims as a defense [1], so it's hard to know what to believe in the absence of competition.
