The same thing everyone below has said, has also happened to me, namely Phish tickets for Hampton, VA.

On the day tickets went on sale, I was sitting at the computer waiting for 10am. At 10:00:01 I started the process. By the time I got to the screen where they are telling you Searching for Tickets, (prior to 10:01 incidentally), I was immediately told that there were no tickets available but off to the side I could conveniently buy tickets from TicketsNow A subsidiary of Ticketmaster for more than 10x the face value!!!! These guys have got to be stopped.

I attempted to purchase wheelchair tickets to the bruce springsteen concert on the internet for may 21st and 23rd and a window popped up and it said that there were no tickets available at face value. but there were tickets available at ticketsnow.com from 188 and up

My son and i have saved money to see bruce springsteen thinking the tickets cost 95 and now we can't afford to go at those prices

I was on the Ticketmaster website Monday morning attempting to purchase tickets for Bruce Springsteen at the IZOD center on 5/23/09. I was on the site and prepared 15 min. before tickets went on sale. At 9 am I hit the refresh button and attempted to begin my transaction. I requested 2 Best Available tickets. I waited for over 20 minutes, and then received the message that no tickets were available. Yet next to that message was an ad from Tickets Now (a Ticketmaster company), a resale website which is basically sanctioned ticket scalping. I would like to know how I was unable to get tickets by following the rules, but ticket scalpers were not only able to get them right away, but even had time to list them for 400 to 800 by 9:20 am.

Economic damage? I should not have to spend 400 to 800 to see Bruce Springsteen. I really want to know what time those tickets were listed on TicketsNow.com and how those people obtained them. If listings were sent to TicketsNow.com before 9am, it will further show what a fraud Ticketmaster is.

I find this as a fraud from Ticketmaster and it took me away from work for over 2 hours

On Monday 2/2/09 I went online at 10am to purchase tickets to the Bruce Springsteen concert. First I went on to get the tickets in Hartford, CT. It found tickets for me, when I went to purchase them I got an error message and could not refresh or go back to get those tickets. I started over, searching again, and it said that they had no more tickets and there was an ad for much more expensive tickets at TicketNow.com.

I then went and tried to get tickets for the show in East Rutherford, NJ and the same thing happened. I thought it was just a problem with the website because so many people were probably trying to get the same tickets, but still I was very upset over the whole situation because it DID find tickets for me and because a problem on TicketMasters end caused me to lose them. Please let me know what, if anything can be done about this because I don't plan on ever getting tickets from ticketmaster again if this problem is not resolved. Thank you for your time.

The same thing happened to me when I tried to buy tickets to the Lady GaGa concert coming up next month at the Wonder Ballroom here in Portland. Tickets showed sold out minutes after the tickets went on sale, but there were plenty for sale at TicketsNow, Stub hub, etc. for 4x more than the face falue! Something needs to be done about this!

People are having to pay alot more to see their favorite artist. Its rediculous!
