Ticketmaster Welcomes Scalpers on New Website

Monday, 12 August 2013 | by Pat's Picks

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em seems to be the new slogan over at Ticketmaster. The Wall Street Journal says a new micro-site called TM+ allows scalpers to list their tickets on Ticketmaster’s primary ticketing site so customers can sort through everything that’s available. The Journal says for years, the company has wanted to get into the $4-billion-a-year ticket resale marketplace, and TM+ marks its first step. The article notes that now Ticketmaster can collect three sets of fees on a single ticket.
