| Kid Rock Rages on Secondary Ticket Market - While Selling Broker Inventory on His Own Site |
|
"IF I COULD CONFRONT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM FACE TO FACE I WOULD AND IT WOULD NOT WORK OUT TOO WELL FOR THEM I GUARANTEE ALL OF YOU," he writes in all-caps. "I hate them, I feel like someone is beating up a close friend or family member while I'm chained to a chair." However, and rather ironically, on the Detroit native's website last week, there was a link to purchase tickets to an upcoming concert from Ticketsinventory.com, which happens to be a secondary ticketing site. Ticketsinventory.com was also selling tickets of up to $1000 per ticket. Of course the link has been removed. I wonder if his manager was pushing inventory to the broker to glean extra cash from the secondary ticketing market and nudged the webmaster to put up a link in order to drive sales. It would not be the first time ticket inventory went out the back door. Rock also says the post was written off the cuff without consulting with his managers or publicist. "This is right from my computer to yours," he said. No kidding. In fact, it's more common than most people believe - read this piece in the Wall Street Journal titled, "Concert Tickets Get Set Aside, Marked Up by Artists, Managers".
