the large outcry here is that people were made to believe they had a fair chance to get presale tickets. a sell out in the first ten seconds at a particular venue is not fair. and if you want to use the fact that we knew that there were only 10% of the venue's tickets on sale, members weren't told this until the email with the code 2 days before. Plus, fanfire is not offering refunds. When you buy into something, the facts and details should be up front, especially if there is no refund. They (ticketmaster, U2, fanfire) continually made public more details until the final hours, and locked people into the memberships under principles that weren't defined until very late in the subscription game, after the overwhelming majority bought it.
since the recording industry and most promoters don't seem to care. After all it does benefit them for things to remain the same.
