Yesterday I joined the public sale for
LE SSERAFIM's Chicago show and got put into a queue 1,500 "people" long. By the time I finally made it through, the cheapest nose-bleed seats were $710 each. Ticketmaster's "Official Platinum" dynamic-pricing tier is robbery. Also know that it's not turned on automatically. The event organizer, HYBE has to request it. So this price-gouging isn't just on Ticketmaster. HYBE chose to flip the switch that lets Ticketmaster squeeze fans for every last cent. Shame on you, HYBE.
