For anyone that small, Ticketmaster doesn't make sense. Their fees are too high to put on a $15 ticket, and you don't need to pay for the technology to handle 30,000 people simultaneously trying to get assigned seats. Because of that, we saw problems in the industry, because the technology was not there to succeed.
