the vouchers thing is a total mess. my coworker (who attends a shit ton of concerts) put it perfectly: "ticketmaster fucks you even when they're supposed to be the ones getting fucked".
they're absolutely coming out on top in this
-they're giving tickets to shows that are 1/2 or 1/3 full, it's not like they're offering tickets to shows that would otherwise be sold (likely)
-Live Nation also books shows at several other venues like HoB, Bottom Lounge...but only shows being offered in Tinley ?
-they're driving an insane amount of traffic to their website
-while some vouchers are free, some are merely discounts that will force people to spend money anyways
they're basically saying: we'll give you free tickets to some shows that we decided. And then it's still up to our discretion whether you get them or not
I didn't see anything I liked or that was less than a 10 hr drive.
