United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Ticket master will put a high face value on the ticket then sell it to you at a "discount".
Touts can then sell for face value and make a profit
Isn't it the artist or promoter who set the face value price?
Hahaha, no
The artist doesn't get any say in it, and the promotor is only able to suggest pricing but can't enforce it
Do you have a source for this? The Ticketmaster FAQ states the artist or promoter sets the base price.
That was my original point. The artist or promoter is able to set the face value price, but Ticketmaster adds fees on top.
Not to disagree but they also state when you sell tickets on Ticketmaster, the fees are passed on to the buyer and you will get 100% of what you ask for your tickets, yet on the same page if you do the math on what you ask for and what it says you will get, it doesn't match (what you will get is lower than 100% of what you ask for). They're literally lying to your face.
They do, that's ticket masters entire value add for them.(Well that and the fact that they control a lot of venues).
You get mad at ticket master and not the artist.
