Oops Ticketmaster Did It Again… And Got CAUGHT!

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Last week we shocked the world with our exclusive post letting everyone know Ticketmaster the “Hypocrite Master” is scalping tickets directly on Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster.ca through a program called Ticketexchange. Our readers asked for proof and as usual SaveFans! delivers.

Well wouldn’t you know Ticketmaster is scalping tickets for the pop princess herself, Britney Spears! We crunched the numbers and here are the results. A total of 15 shows are currently on sale on Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster.ca for Britney’s Circus tour. As of Saturday, June 20th at 5pm pst,  Ticketexchange was offering a total of 5690 tickets for a whopping $1,478,550.64 (Ticketmaster is also holding high bid wins auctions and VIP seats which makes this number even higher). Here is a breakdown per show:

As if this isn’t disgusting enough, Ticketmaster is actually retailing a pair of tickets to the Las Vegas show at Mandalay Bay Resort on September 6th for $2,698.44 per ticket!!!!!!

So how do we know that Ticketmaster is responsible for these seats? Well we were lucky enough to catch a glitch on Ticketmaster’s part that placed the Ticketexchange seats on sale BEFORE the show even went on sale to the public! And since you need to register a bank account and input the bar codes from the tickets to list tickets for sale on Ticketexchange it is literally impossible that these seats could have come from anyone but a Ticketmaster insider. Here is a screen shot taken on June 19th at 3am (the show wasn’t on sale until 10am).

Musician Spotlight: Wilco

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Wilco are musician’s musicians. This is a band that has paid their dues, battled with their label, and still managed to build a career in the process. Like a lot of folks, I was first introduced to Wilco through their album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Little did I know they would outdo themselves with the under appreciated A Ghost is Born.

They are back out on tour my little droogies, I recommend that you see them live and purchase their self titled Wilco album slated for release in June 2009. Without further delay I want to discuss the shows that I believe will matter most.

Friday June 12
Wilco at Proctor and Gamble Hall Tickets on June 12 – The tour kicks off in Cincinnati, Ohio the city made famous by TV show WKRP in Cincinnati.

Wednesday June 17

Wilco at Abraham Chavez Theatre Tickets – This show will be in my hometown of El Paso, Texas a lawless city on the border of Old Mexico and West Texas. Nostalgia…kicking…in….

Monday June 22

Wilco at The Wiltern Tickets – The first of three shows in the City of Angels otherwise known as Los Angeles, California. Be there or be square.

Wednesday July 8

Wilco at Wolf Trap Tickets – This funky little show in Vienna, Virginia is going to be special. Don’t ask me how I know just be there if you are in the area.

Monday July 13

Wilco at Keyspan Park Tickets – Wilco heads to Brooklyn, New York to play the open fields. Get toasted and cozy up to someone special and enjoy this outdoor event.

Top 10 Catholic Musicians of All Time

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

In honor of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday – we put together a list of the Top 10 Catholic Musicians of all time! Of course, you know we are going to focus on pop and rock and are totally going to ignore Luciano Pavarotti and all that kind of noise. So without further delay, in descending order – Your Top 10 list.

Number #10 Dave Matthews

This South African idol was raised Catholic and attended their notoriously fun schools for most of his boyhood. While, he has recently declared himself to be Agnostic – which is the celebrity trend these days – I have decided to ignore his wishes and include him on our list.

I also want to inform my treasured readers that Dave Matthews Band is on tour and that we have set up a page for you to browse. Thank me later.

Number #9 Nicole Scherzinger aka Nicole Elikolani Prescovia Valiente of the Pussy Cat Dolls

OK, I admit the Pussy Cat Dolls are completely worthless. Additionally, Nicole doesn’t seem to be very talented. However, you have to admit that she has a nice rack. Truly great – it seems like the tabloids and media are really pushing this point home in recent months. And people, I am buying.

Number #8 Frankie Valli aka Francesco Stephen Castelluccio and the Four Seasons

This is my old school surprise choice and secret fascination. I mean we are talking about an ant of a guy with a woman’s voice that nonetheless was a legendary lady killer in his day. For example, how many people know that the sweet and innocent sounding “Oh What a Night” is about a one night stand…with a prostitute!

Also, I love that this guy is getting more recognition due to the success of the theater show Jersey Boys. I know it sounds funny, but you gotta see the show. Take my advice and skim the Jersey Boys tickets page we set up just for you!

Number #7 Christina Aguilera

While, I hate her music I happen to think Xtina is hot with a nice set of…vocal cords. Managed by the most evil guy in the biz – Irving Azoff – this former Mousekateer has moved lots of merchandise and concert tickets. A saner version of Britney Spears really.

Number #6 Depeche Mode

Catholic roots – good enough for me. Then again do I even need to defend this? These guys sang about “Personal Jesus” and put together the extravagant Playing the Angels tour. Safe to say these guys have a spiritual streak.

Lucky for you dear readers, the band is on tour and we set up a Depeche Mode tickets page for you to browse. Also, try to get to these shows in particular as the industry is abuzz about some surprise.

Depeche Mode Events Tickets at Madison Square Garden August 3
Depeche Mode Events Tickets at The Hollywood Bowl August 16

Number #5 Celine Dion

OK, why is this French Canadian on this list I hear ya. But, let’s be honest. This girl can sing. No one has the vocal cords that she does and almost no modern singer has been able to match her commercial success. She has made untold of gobs of money putting on that show at Caesars Palace. Gotta give some respect.

Number #4 Madonna aka Madonna Louise Ciccone

I am torn about her conclusion her for two reasons. One, she abandoned the Church of Rome and is now into Kabbalah or some shit. Second, I already put her on the Five Worst Jewish Musicians of All Time list. Basically, she used to have a good career so she gets included on the “Good” Catholic list for her past achievements.

That said people, Madonna can rock out. I saw her in Los Angeles earlier this year and you need to see her live to really appreciate her music. Because SaveFans.com got the hookup we set up a browsers page for you to find Madonna Tickets near you!

Number #3 Bruce Springsteen

The Boss, America’s Poet and all that Jazz. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band really do know how to put on a show as they demonstrated in the last Super Bowl. Take it from me. Check out his last ever tour and find the Bruce Springsteen tickets that are right for you! Look out for a few of the premier shows including their special Clearwater Concert at the Madison Square Garden featuring the Dave Matthews Band.

Bruce Springsteen Event Tickets at the Wachovia Spectrum on April 28
Bruce Springsteen Event Tickets at the Madison Square Garden on May 5
Bruce Springsteen Event Tickets at the Air Canada Centre on May 7

Number #2 Morrissey

I am a huge Morrissey fan. I know you either love him or hate him, but I gotta tell you straight up – the man’s a genius and has been so for decades now. I saw him last year in Santa Monica nice guy. I promised him that I would ask you to check him out at his last two 2009 US shows.
Morrissey Event Tickets at the Sunshine Theater in Albuquerque on April 15
Morrissey Event Tickets at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland on April 18

Morrissey sends his love.

Number #1 U2

Who else did you think it was going to be? Bono, The Edge, and co. have been representing for Catholics for years! Whether it is fighting to end hunger, poverty, or AIDs, the boys from Ireland are center stage and constantly affirming their faith. Granted you got to wonder sometime, I mean was I the only once that saw the photos of Bono cavorting with those teenage and underdressed girls aboard his yacht earlier this year? Not that I gotta problem with that – that earns him points in my book.

Got a problem with Bono? Tell him yourself as his tour is re-routing back to the United States. We set up a U2 Tickets page for you guys and also encourage you to check out the following specific dates as these are the can’t miss shows!

U2 Event Tickets at Soldier Field on September 12

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
