Seriously, Mutha FUCK Ticketmaster, Staples Center & Mariah Carey, Seriously
Ok, so I suprise my girl by going out, standing in LINE @ 8am and waiting on a sat. 3 months ago and getting her some Mariah Carey Tickets, $60 a pop, with the ticketmaster fees, comes out to about $150. Great for two cheap seats i guess at a stadium(at any hip hop show, $70 tickets would bring you at least some added features, hell, rock the bells brought u a VIP lounge, but fuck it, overpriced cheap seats for my girl it is)
So we go, Parking=$20, not bad, its a big night, sold out event, of course....we get there, i buy my lady a shirt, another $35...i was hungary, so i get a hot dog and a drink, $7
We go to find our seats, well we find our seat is BEHIND THE MUTHA FUCKIN STAGE BEHIND A FUCKIN SCREEN BLOCKING THE WHOLE FUCKIN STAGE!!!!!
But wait, thats not the end of it, not only do we hardly get to see any performer (Busta, Mariah, Big Boy, Da Brat) [we only really got to see them on the screen] but they have theses Panals they place on top of each section to absorb the sound so there is no echo, but guess what section they left out? Worst acoustics Fuckin EVER! Echoing left and Right, you could hardly tell what they were talking about onstage, only time u really heard anything was when the beat drop and everyone sang along...
You would think that was the end of it, the end of all the fuckin horribleness, but no, it gets worse, i happen to run into a friend of mine up in the cheapseats, she was dead straight center looking onto the stage perfect view of everything, I ask her, how much did she pay for her tickets...... $20 a ticket.....she showed me her ticket stub and she said she got them online the day they went on sale.....my jaw dropped, it seems that the staples center has stampted the seats on the north and south side of the arena as the "Bargain" seats and they are the "better value" well if i would have known that i would have bought the fuckin cheapest fuckin seats ....she saw everything, i was fuckin furious....my girl on the other hand loved the show, she didnt even care about anything happening, she just wanted to be in the presence of Mariah, and it made her happy, but That was the Worst show ever for me, just out of my experience....the show was good, she's a good singer, Busta was awesome (but the crowd wasnt really feeling his old shit, fuckin assholes, i wanted him to play "Gimmie some more") but SO not worth what i paid, my hard earned money down the fuckin drain on this piece of shit show, I cant believe they even sold tickets knowing that there would be some obstruction of view, fuck them
Well yeah, i am venting, But FUCK them mutha fuckers

Complain to official instances.. Always helps.. Write something to an official magazine or some shit..Get it out there..Say you want at least your money back..

County is a bitch......and so is ticketmaster.
-
I heard that the show in Oakland was hella weak too. They had an article on how people wanted their money back in Oakland for this money-stealing show. Everybody should stay away from this tour.
-
i woulda killed somebody if that happened to me 8)
-
so.... did ticketmaster force you to have sex?
-
real shit, send an official complaint to ticketmaster, get your money back. Explain to them that they didnt explain to you that the stage would be blocked from where you bought your tickets. Be an asshole about it. dont5 let them win and i guarantee youll get at least the 150 back for the tickets.
