@ItsJustMe122 @middle_class_us You obviously haven't bought tickets since 2019. The original poster was talking about face value.

@middle_class_us Open up ticket buying online and the floodgates for scalpers opened up. You can’t even get face value tickets anymore

A concert ticket in 2019 was $75 for decent seats. Now $200 gets you the nosebleeds. Ticketmaster adds fees on top of that. A night out for a family to see live music can run $500 to $1,000. They priced out the entire middle class. No wonder everyone stays home these days.

@basedseattle Aatlanta work ethic

TSA wait times in Phoenix are less than 20 minutes. How is it possible that they are 90+ minutes in places like Atlanta and New Orleans? This shouldn't be hard to figure out.

@daltine_cracker People talk like they don't understand that teams in the latin america play from October to February. There are more countries and leagues than just MLB

Moving the WBC the middle of the season is a dumb idea and should never be considered

@kbo_coyote @GerryCallahan US had a whole day headstart to buy & couldn't fill but a few seats.

@GerryCallahan I suppose they all received free tickets, too, blocking US fans from buying them?

I guess when we let 8 million Venezuelans into the country in the last 5 years, it’s no surprise they have home field advantage in Miami. #wbc

@GerryCallahan typical Boston moron comment

@MylesDogood @MattMcCarthy985 This is the correct answer

@MattMcCarthy985 I was rooting for Venezuela fuck that team -with the half ass manager, scumbag greedy Bregman, the Yankee choke artist Judge, and every other of the shallow mercenaries on that team. The team with more heart and guts won! 👍🎉🎊

Hopefully this is a wake-up call for USA Baseball. That was the best lineup they could’ve possibly fielded and they failed. We lost at our own sport. Venezuela was outstanding. You can’t have a rent-a-manager and Aaron Judge as your captain if you truly want to win.

@D_III_89 @JoshuaHowsam also parents & their own. Lighten up.

@JoshuaHowsam The game is in Miami. You get home crowd advantage. You know, where 250,000 Venezuelan-Americans reside and can show their pride for their grandparents’ country of origin, Venezuela, rather than the country they live in and claim to be citizens of.

How is the WBC set up so that one team enters the finals after an off day and the other team doesn’t? That’s not remotely equal

@docal555 @CENTCOM Don't use children to protect weapons is the answer.

@CENTCOM Targets? You mean schools 🤔

U.S. forces continue to hunt and destroy Iranian targets that pose threats to Americans and Iran's neighbors.

@jwawk @HPBAac Obviously you've never set foot in Miami

@HPBAac An awesome scene. Gonna be weird tonight when the US team is treated as the hostile visiting team in its own park.

Show me a crowd that looks like this at any sporting event in the world. 🤯 #WorldBaseballClassic

@S_Beasley @HPBAac It'll be 70-80% Venezuelans. The quote "united states" fans have already been outdrawn by Dominican Republic in Miami and Mexico in Houston.

@HPBAac The wildest part is these are mostly Americans cheering on foreign nationals on US soil. Should be interesting for the US v Venezuela final as far a audience makeup.

@njyanks2 @HPBAac same prices here. Have you even looked?

@HPBAac Yankee Stadium would look like that, if the first section wasn’t $2000 a ticket

@alex_witty23 @HPBAac dumbest idea ever.

@HPBAac I think this is also a perfect example of why the MLB season needs to be far less than 162 games. Imagine this type of atmosphere during regular season MLB games. 82 regular season games, 3 man starting rotation, move the WBC to the middle of the season like hockey

@Fly_Pete @exIafarmer_Q @foxandfriends And yet Kid Rock shows up at the white house licking their boots. Shows what an idiot he truly is.

@exIafarmer_Q @foxandfriends They did. It failed in court because conservatives believe monopolies have the right to rip you off. Now there’s basically nothing we can do except stop going to any large ticketed events.

KID ROCK: "They can come after me all they want. I could care less... You come after my fans, who are arguably outside of our military, the best this country has to offer. Hardworking people who just want to have fun... I mean, this is a joke and people are pissed off about it." @KidRock is calling out corporate callousness after leaked messages show Live Nation staffers bragging about price gouging: "robbing them blind, baby... That's how we do it."

@OngoGablogian21 @TimKellySports Dumbest post i've read today

@TimKellySports We're grown up. We watch MLB, where there's 162 games. We reserve that for the playoffs. They act like winter ball and WBC are the most important thing ever. Let em. They enjoy it and it makes them happy. 3rd world happiness. But we're better. More civilized. Just how it is

My biggest takeaway from watching Venezuela vs. Dominican Republic: We're really boring in the United States.

@forcemm @peterfoleybos @TicketsData Except that the primary undercuts the face value & hangs early buyers out to dry with unsellable tickets. Nice try

@peterfoleybos @TicketsData But face value fan to fan is very american as we're selling tickets not equities and protecting fans from people who have no intention of seeing the shows

TicketFire failed to innovate and that gave way for SecureMyPass to dominate the field

@devana1125 @LeVeonBell Obviously you haven't looked at the prices Ticketmaster charges. Scalpers are no longer the only problem.

@LeVeonBell Finally… a world where scalpers can’t ruin our Friday night plans 😂

unpopular opinion: we should abolish ticketmaster and only have the venues sell tickets at the door ..

@elonmusk Just a bunch more coal fired power plants.

China is moving rapidly to a solar/electric future with very little need for oil or gas

@KaareJohnson @MrPitbull07 I'll carry some dishes for $100. Gtf0. $40 is more than most people make in an hour.

@MrPitbull07 $40 is insulting. Keep your money next time. But you already know this $100 minimum. $120 is about right You shouldn’t go out to eat anymore. Just go to the grocery and cook at home.

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

@realstewpeters Go live in Iran, numbnutz

I trust Iran with nuclear weapons much more than I do Israel.

@JesterJum So when you hire someone to fix your air conditioner, they arrive at 9:00 and finish at 10:00 and you get a bill for 2 hours labor... all good?

You should be able to clock in when you leave your home. Not when you get to work. Commute time is not free.
