Neil Young has weighed in with his views on the recent controversies around Ticketmaster fees and secondary ticketing, saying that “concert touring is broken”.Writing on his website, Young proclaims: “It’s over. The old days are gone.
I get letters blaming me for $3000 tickets [being sold on the secondary market] for a benefit I am doing. That money does not go to me or the benefit.
Artists have to worry about ripped off fans blaming them for Ticketmaster add-ons and scalpers”.In particular he highlights the recent row over the fees charged for tickets on The Cure’s upcoming US tour. Frontman Robert Smith said that the band had chosen to use Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan system for the ticketing on those shows in order to reduce the number of tickets that ended up being touted – or scalped if you prefer – on the secondary sites (although Vice reported this week that touts are already finding ways around this).The band had also ensured that prices for the actual tickets were kept low, so that as many fans as possible could afford to see them play.
However, Ticketmaster’s subsequent fees meant they weren’t actually as big a bargain as the band had hoped. Some fans found that, once fees were added, four $20 tickets cost them $172.Fielding complaints from fans on Twitter, Smith went back to Ticketmaster to question the fees and convinced the company to give ticket buyers partial refunds, as well as dropping the fees for tickets still on sale.This all comes at a time when Live Nation-owned Ticketmaster is facing heavy criticism in US political circles for some of its ticket-selling practices.That criticism spiked after all the issues that occurred when tickets for Taylor Swift’s upcoming tour were put on sale via the Verified

Thania Garcia The Cure‘s Robert Smith continues his long-drawn-out battle against the many monetary hurdles of the ticketing world — this time, he’s taking on secondary resale websites. Just a few weeks ago, Smith was able to secure several refunds from Ticketmaster for fans looking to catch the British band on their forthcoming “Lost World” tour. Now, Smith says they’ve managed to cancel 7,000 scalped tickets and further announced a plan to donate the original fees to the charity Amnesty International. Meanwhile, tickets will be resold to fans. When the tour — the band’s first North American trek in seven years — was first announced on March 9, the Cure opted out of Ticketmaster’s “platinum” and “dynamically priced” ticket options, both of which have infamously been the cause of a massive uptick in ticket prices.
