Folks had it rough in trying to buy those $25 Live Nation Concert Week tickets Wednesday morning.
The live entertainment company is offering shows across the country for $25 each. Its site went live at 10 am; but many hoping to score the deals were met with “error” and “page not found” messages when directed to Ticketmaster.com.
$25 concert tickets: Live Nation Concert Week sales start
That left a lot of frustrated music lovers.
“(I) can’t believe ticketmaster and live nation really thought they could handle having so many people buying tickets for so many artists when they cant even handle a single artist,” one ticket hunter said on X.
Another posted a “Martin” show gif with the text “Congratulations, you played yourself.”
“me @ myself for trying to get tickets for live nation concert week,” they said.
Marissa DePanda apparently wasn’t surprised with the site’s failure.
“Ticketmaster and live nation crashing as soon as the concert week goes on sale. How on brand,” she posted.
And X user “Attack of the Bobby” (@PeerOutBRK) said he had more faith in his kids being able to deliver a smooth buying experience.
“You know @Ticketmaster @LiveNation really put those service fees to good use with these flawlessly running servers they have for their biggest sale of the year. My children could code a more functional storefront as a hobby. What the f****** joke.”
By about 11 am, the site was working for some of the shows.
