Report: Fans Frustrated By Resellers After AC/DC Sells Out In Four Minutes

September 23, 2008

Amy O'Brian of the Vancouver Sun reports: When tickets to AC/DC's November concert at GM Place went on sale Friday morning, Annette Romano and thousands of others were poised at their computers, ready to click for tickets.

The $99 tickets went on sale at precisely 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster's website, but within minutes, Romano was receiving a message indicating she was out of luck.

"I thought my computer was malfunctioning. I couldn't even get one seat in the nosebleeds," Romano said Monday in an interview.

The Vancouver show sold out in four minutes, according to promoter Live Nation. The news was announced Friday in a mass e-mail sent out just 25 minutes after the tickets went on sale.

But while the quick sellout is good news for the promoter and for Ticketmaster, it has caused mass frustration among those who were unable to get tickets.
