UThom Yorke, imvumi ephambili yeRadiohead.(Ifoto: PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA / AFP / GettyImages) Ngo-Matshi 14, i-Radiohead yazisa ukuba amatikiti kukhenketho lwehlabathi oluzayo (okokuqala ukusukela ngo-2012) aya kuthengiswa ngeentsuku ezine nge-10 kusasa kunye neyesibini kwimihla yokhenketho, iintloko zandikhwaza, zazikho NgoJulayi 26 noJulayi 27 eMadison Square Garden .
I-Radiohead ibhendi yam endiyithandayo ngalo lonke ixesha, kodwa kude kube lelo xesha xa ithuba lokubabona beqhuba bukhoma livela, khange ndiqonde ukuba bathetha ntoni kum.
Ndithumele imiyalezo kubahlobo bam abasondeleyo. Mnye kuphela kubo owayehlala kufutshane, kodwa mna kunye nabanye sasizimisele ukuqhuba okanye ukubhabha iikhilomitha ezilikhulu ukuya kumboniso ngeedola ezingama-80 inye. Ndibaxelele ukuba ndiza kubathengela onke amatikiti. Ungayithengela enye intombazana yam? umhlobo wam uChino Amobi, umsunguli weerekhodi ze-NON, ubuzile.
Ewe, ndimxelele, kufuneka ndiqiniseke ukuba ndingena kwi-Ticketmaster kanye xa amatikiti eqala ukuthengisa kwaye siyakulunga.
Abathandathu kuthi ngoku bafuna ukuhamba kwaye ndacinga ukuba inokuba yinto ende yomntu omnye, ndiye ndacela uDavid ukuba andincede ndithenge amatikiti. Andizange ndiyenze le nto ngaphambili, wandixelela. Ndinovalo nyani. Ndandikhe ndeva malunga nokuthengisa ngokukhawuleza ngaphambili, kwaye ndacinga ukuba onke amatikiti anokuhamba ngeyure, kodwa ukuba nje besikhawuleza kwaye sisebenza ngokuchwetheza kwethu siya kuba silungile.
Ndenze impazamo kangakanani.
Yimeko eqhelekileyo kuye nakubani na namhlanje ozama ukuthenga amatikiti okubona ibhendi enamagama amakhulu njengeRadiohead eqhuba kumdlalo weqonga.
Ndiphambi kwelaptop yam nge-10 kusasa ngo-Matshi 18 ndikulungele ukuthenga amatikiti. Iphepha lokuqala endilivulileyo lenze ukulayishwa kokujikeleza, emva koko elinye, kunye nelinye. Ukugqibela kwam ndingena kwinkqubo yokuthenga, ndajongana nee-captchas zindicela ukuba ndichonge iinkomo, iikeyiki kunye neebhasi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ngaphambi kokuba isikrini sime kwakhona. Kwadlula imizuzu engamashumi amabini, ndaziva ndoyisiwe. Ndifumene kuTwitter ndafumanisa ukuba amatikiti athengisiwe phantse kwangoko kwaye sele sele ethengisa ngeStubhub Amaxesha amaninzi ixabiso lama- $ 80 .
Iirobhothi zokuthenga amatikiti sele zithengile phantse kuzo zonke izihlalo.
Akuyonyani, le ntsomi yokuba ukhuphiswano olonyukayo luya kukhokelela kumaxabiso asezantsi etikiti. Abameli beNew York bathenga kubuxoki bee-lobbyists zetikiti.
Nditsho nebhendi ngokwabo ivakalise ukudana. Ndikhutshiwe njengokuba unjalo, uThom York ubhale kuTwitter. Kwaye ndingumntu kuphela. Emva kwexesha iakhawunti yebhanti yabhala malunga neengozi zokuthenga itikiti lesibini. Uninzi lwamatikiti luya kubizwa ngamagama kwaye kuya kubakho ii-ID ezingqongqo zokutshekishwa. Unobungozi bokwaliwa ukungena kwindawo.
Lowo yayingumngcipheko endandizimisele ukuwuthatha xa ndiqala ukujonga amaxabiso okuphinda ndithengise kuluhlu lukaStubhub noCraig kwaye ndibuze abahlobo bam ukuba bazakuba ngabalungileyo na. ngokuhlawula i- $ 200 yezihlalo eziphakathi. Ngexesha ndibakholisile ukuba mandimthengele amatikiti, amaxabiso ayephakame aya kuthi ga kwi-250 yeedola kwizihlalo ezinamaxabiso aphantsi afumanekayo.
Kusemthethweni njani oku? Iikhowudi zokubamba zeTikiti lomaster zinokoyiswa njani ngokulula? I-Stubhub kunye nezinye iisayithi zinokuthengisa njani amatikiti afunyenwe ngokucacileyo ngeendlela ezimbi? Yintoni engalunganga ngale nkqubo?
Kwakungasoloko kunje.
Kude kube ngo-2007, ilizwe laseNew York laline-cap yeepesenti ezingama-45 (ngaphezulu kwexabiso leetikiti ezidwelisiweyo) ekuthengisweni kwakhona kwetikiti kwiindawo ezinkulu zamandla. Umthetho usebenze kakuhle xa ukuthengiswa kwamatikiti kwenziwa ngobuqu, kodwa ukufika kokuthengisa amatikiti kwi-intanethi kutshintshe yonke into. Bonke abathengisi betikiti kuye kwafuneka bayenze ukukhusela umthetho yayikukusebenza ngaphandle kwelizwe, oko kwakuthetha ukuba ukusebenza kweshishini labo kungasondela kwimizuzu eli-10 yokuhamba ngebhasi eNew Jersey.

Nge-1 kaJuni ka-2007 u-Gov. Elliot Spitzer watyikitya umthetho wezomthetho osusa umda ekuthengisweni kwakhona kwetikiti ezazikhona ukusukela ngeminyaka ye-1920s kwaye zifuna abathengisi bamatikiti bathenge iilayisensi kurhulumente ukuba basebenze. Isizathu kukuba ii-caps azisebenzi kwaye i-spin inikwe uluntu kukuba ukhuphiswano olwandisiweyo oluza kuvelisa luya kunciphisa amaxabiso etikiti endaweni yokunyusa.
Akuyonyani, uRuss Haven, umcebisi wezomthetho kwiQela loPhando loLuntu laseNew York, wandixelela.Le ntsomi ithi ukwanda kokhuphiswano kuya kukhokelela kumaxabiso asezantsi etikiti. Abameli beNew York bathenga kubuxoki bee-lobbyists zetikiti.
Elinye iqela elinje labaphembeleli yile Umbutho weSizwe wabarhwebi bamatikiti ethi ukuvumela intengiso yasimahla ukuba isebenze ekuthengeni nasekuthengiseni amatikiti kuluncedo kubathengi kuba ibanika ukhetho. THANDEKA: Bakholelwa ukuba ukuthenga amatikiti (abakwenzayo) kunye nokususa kwimarike yokuqala (phantse i-Ticketmaster) iyabanceda abantu.
Nangona kunjalo, abathengisi abaninzi betikiti basebenzisa le nkqubo yentengiso yasimahla.
Kwangoko kulo nyaka i-ofisi ka-Eric Schneiderman, igqwetha likarhulumente le-NY, lifikelele kwisivumelwano neenkampani ezintandathu ezithengisa amatikiti eNew York ngaphandle kwelayisensi efanelekileyo. Abahlanu kubo babesebenzisa i-bots zokwenza itikiti ukuthenga ngokungekho mthethweni amatikiti kwi-intanethi ngesantya esiphezulu ngaphambi kokuba abathengi abafana nam bakwazi nokungena.
Elona ziko liyaziyo ukuba abathengi betikiti okanye abarhwebi bayayiphepha imithetho ngabathengisi bokuqala beetikiti.
Bakhulule kwakhona ingxelo egxekayo ukufumanisa ukuba kwiipesenti ezingama-54 zentengiso yetikiti zigcinelwe abangaphakathi ngaphakathi kwaye iindawo ezingaze ziveze ukuba mangaphi amatikiti akhoyo athengiswayo. Akumangalisi ukuba uSchneirderman abize amatikiti kumdlalo omiselweyo.
UDarnell Goldson weThikethiNetwork, indawo yentengiso ekwi-intanethi ebonelela abathengi kunye nabathengisi bamatikiti kwimicimbi yolonwabo, undithumele kwingxelo kaSchneiderman kwaye wabiza indawo ekuhleni ekufumanekeni kwetikiti kwaye uxhasa umthetho ukubonelela abathengi ngolwazi. Ndimbuzile ukuba loluphi uxanduva umbutho wakhe onalo ukunqanda ukuthengiswa kwamatikiti athengwe ziirobhothi.
I-Tiketi yeNetwork ayivelisi, ayithengi, ayibambi okanye ayithengisi amatikiti. Ke ngoko, akunakwenzeka kuthi ukufumanisa ukuba itikiti lithengwe yibhot okanye hayi. Elona ziko liyaziyo ukuba abathengi betikiti okanye abarhwebi bayayiphepha imithetho ngabathengisi bokuqala beetikiti.
Ngubani oyena mthengisi uphambili wamatikiti kulo mdlalo wokugxeka? Leyo iya kuba yi-Ticketmaster, i-monolith yokuba, ngo-2009 xa inkampani idibene ne-Live Nation, ilawulwa ngaphezu kweepesenti ezingama-80 zeemarike zetikiti.
Benza ntoni ukulungisa iirobhothi ezibonakala ngathi wonke umntu uzithiyile?
Ngoku ka ukuya ku-2013 INew York Times ingxelo , I-bots kwezinye iimeko ithengile ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-60 zamatikiti afumanekayo kwimiboniso edumileyo: Iibhotshi azikhatywa ngaphandle kwenkqubo, kodwa kunoko 'zikhawuleziswe' — zicothisiwe, zithunyelwa esiphelweni somgca okanye zinikwe ezinye iindlela zokuphazamiseka , Ukuvumela umthengi rhoqo ngokusebenzisa.

Umqeqeshi weetikiti kudala esilwa neerobhothi ngokusebenzisa amatikiti angenamaphepha kwimiboniso ethile efuna ukuba umsebenzisi abonise okanye atshintshe ikhadi lakhe letyala emnyango. Oku kwenze ukuba kube nzima ukugqithisa amatikiti, ngenxa yoko uStubhub wayeyithiyile kwaye waqala ukulumkisa wonke umntu malunga neengozi ezicingelwayo.
Ngokwendalo, ngo-2011 i-Gov. yase-New York u-Andrew Cuomo watyikitya umthetho-mali osenza i-New York ibe lilizwe ekukuphela kwalo eliza kuvala inkqubo yeetikiti engenamaphepha.
Ndixelela umama malunga neli bali kwaye wathi, andiqondi ukuba kutheni bevumela lonke eli shishini lokuthengisa kwakhona. Oko kubonakala ngathi yingxaki.
Akukho mntu wumbi bendithetha naye onazo iimpendulo ezingcono.
Ukucinga ngako konke oku, ndikhunjuzwa ngamanye amazwi avela kwiGlasi Amehlo, ingoma evela kwi-albhamu entsha yeRadiohead emnandi Ipuli ebunjiweyo yeNyanga .
Kwaye ndiyazibuza ukuba ndijike / ndithenge elinye itikiti / Uloyiko luza ngamandla.
Andazi ukuba ndiza kuze ndiye kumboniso weRadiohead, kodwa ubuncinci ngoku ndiyazi ukuba kutheni.
