So tickets dropped for my SO's favorite band, but she was working at that time so I was ordered to buy them.
Ho-ly shit. These ticket sites are truly scumbags. Every psychological trick in the book is represented here. Constant "Hey buddy, 5000 people are ready to pounce on your ticket, you should hurry up!" and "Woops! Those seats were taken, we MIGHT give you these more expensive seats...", also not showing the final price until you confirm the purchase, leading you to naturally think "Well, I got this far..." even though the price ballooned from the first step.
If the ideal for these experience is you can feel good about your purchase so you return the next time, this is the complete opposite. I feel drained, scammed, I probably aged a year during the process and I never want to do this again. But I will probably have to at some point, and that's probably what they are banking on. Fuck capitalism.
