another artist battling the ticket scalpers

[olive]

I know Louie c.k. and Eric Church are doing it too I saw people at Louie c.k. being turned away

from Sturgil Simpsons facebook page

so true ... "In the meantime the only way to put a stop to this is for people to stop buying tickets from scalpers "





We are working on an experimental ticketing system that will (HOPEFULLY) prevent scalpers/bots from ruining the live music experience for everyone. It infuriates me to see so many people who have supported us from day one being shut out from the opportunity to come to our show for a price I designate. I know exactly who I work for and my tickets will always be affordable and no amount of trophy's in the world will ever change that.

all together or to make so much noise it forces politicians/Ticketmaster to stop taking money from Stub-hub lobbyists that pay them fat stacks of coin to keep online scalping legal. EVERYONE is fed up I assure you and we will be cancelling out bot purchased tickets and putting the reclaimed tickets back up for sale at normal price.
