| Promoter Louis Messina raises new concerns about Ticketmaster and possible scalping activities |
|
In an interview aired this week on WTVF-TV News Channel 5 in Nashville, Messina shared his concerns that Ticketmaster regularly moves tickets from the primary market to the secondary market. When asked by investigative reporter Phil Williams if Ticketmaster was “standing at the front of the line grabbing tickets”, Messina responded, “Ticketmaster had all of the tickets. They don’t have to stand at the front of the line.” "Are they [Ticketmaster] feeding their own companies? If you owned a company... I would think the answer is yes." In the interview, Messina also confirmed that in the past he has been approached (though he did not specify by whom) regarding scalping tickets for his own events. See the video below.
