Outrageous overcharge for Rotterdam, The Netherlands Pink concert

Outrageous overcharge for Rotterdam, The Netherlands Pink concert

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share with you the outrageous discovery that a friend and I are facing in order to buy tickets for the concert in The Netherlands of Pink.
First the tickets were put on sale on Saturday with no publicity and you could only buy 1 ticket at a time.
Now the tickets are sold out and from a price from € 54,00, € 49,00, € 44,00, € 39,00

Now the only place who sales them are charging the following € 79,00 up to € 119,00

Yes a ticket in front line sold by the organizer at € 54,00 they are selling it at € 119,00
So now I'll be going to any other location in Europe where she'll be having a concern and will not go to the Rotterdam event, sadly sicne I leave in Amsterdam, but I rather expend € 200,00 traveling somewhere else, than giving profit to these "people"
Hope you don't fall for this people and make them richier by overcharging a concert.
Regards,
Rosy

aw man, that totally sucks, i guess, but since I don't have access to any local ticket salespeople, since i live in canada, i've already paid 124 euros, which is similar to what you're paying, except that that's 220 in CAN$. this is mostly the fault of the american economy forcing us to lower our dollar so that we can keep selling to them. i also have to admit that the EU has been doing a great job at keeping europeans happy (mostly) for the last while. since Ebay wasn't even selling tickets for the only show i can attend, in Regensburg (the only tickets i could find were for australia, selling at 140-400 dollars a pop, and prices still going up, cant go to AUS anyways). i scrouged around every periphery of legal selling of concert tickets i could find and only came up with seatwave (which if anyone is wondering, still has tons of tickets for most of the funhouse tour, specifically, and unfortunately, 11 left for the regensburg event, for anyone whos been deperately looking for tickets to that)

now i know that youve read this and i probably look like a jerk saying that i dont relate to your situation, that all the attention should be on me because im worse off, but im not trying to do that, im just telling the truth, because its out there, tons of people that dont have connections in the business like us have to scrape from the bottom of the barrel and pay twice as much (or more) to see the same thing mr.fancy pants sees

anyone having issues with ticket prices has my sympathy, for sure

kan het wel begrijpen maar waarom heb je niet via live nation gekocht, dat begon al op donderdag ervoor. het stond wel op hyves. dat je dat zo kon kopen.

Hai, a.s. zaterdag begint de verkoop van het 2e concert dus misschien heb je dan meer geluk! Suc6!!
