TheCure's Robert Smith: “I am as sickened as you all are by today’s Ticketmaster ‘Fees’ debacle. To be very clear: The artist has no way to limit them. I have been asking how they are justified.'

. “To be very clear: The artist has no way to limit them. I have been asking how they are justified. If I get anything coherent by way of an answer I will let you all know.”

First, he addresses the secondary-market practice of selling tickets that do not yet exist. “All the ‘secondary ticket market’ sites showing insanely price Cure tickets are a con,” he wrote on March 13. “Not one of these scammers has a genuine ticket for sale. Please don’t fall for it.” He continued, “We were convinced that Ticketmaster’s ‘Verified Fan page’ and ‘face value ticket exchange’ ideas could help us fight the scalpers… .”

I want to buy a ticket, but I'll have to wait until the dust settles. Ticketmaster is wrong for using the popularity of The Cure to screw over fans! Ticketmaster thecure

Tickets in the back at the Hollywood Bowl were $25.00, $50.00 for mid back and $100.00 for the middle. I was put on code waitlist, but got a code and tickets 90 min. after the start of the verified sale. The closer seats were gone by then and I couldn’t see the prices. Fees high.

Die-hard friends have been unable to get tickets and are absolutely crushed. How has this service has not improved (been disrupted) is interesting and upsetting for concert/event lovers. 😕

Someone I know paid $400 plus fees this week for a concert!

Something needs to be done about all this

The Academy says it can 'arrange' for Will Smith to get his Oscar engravedThe Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ melodramatics surrounding Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars continue, with president Janet Yang decreeing that Smith can finally get his status engraved for his King Richard win. Will Smith was absolutely, unequivocally wrong, but the Academy didn't have a tenth of this energy for all the (publicly known) predators they've celebrated for so long. I'm sure a lot of people have ideas for what to engrave on it.

Robert Blake's Son Says Oscars Disrespectful for 'Memoriam' OmissionRobert Blake getting left out of the Oscars 'In Memoriam' tribute was a big mistake on The Academy's part -- at least, according to the son of the late actor, who claims his dad's death being used as a punchline wasn't a cool move either. Newsflash: OJ Simpson also won't be included when he dies. That murder thing kinda negates anything your Dad did, Sir Do we expect OJ to be in memoriam when he passes? I mean he did a few movies. I don’t think he will. For the same reason Blake was omitted. Not a good look for the academy. I feel for the son..I really do..but when someone is accused/found guilty of things like his father was..honoring him in that way just seems like a slap in the face to the families who he’s hurt..to me… I hope the son understands both sides..at the same time..someday…
