I loathe TicketMaster. It’s the bane of my existence. Charge me $15 so I have the convenience of PRINTING OUT MY OWN DAMN TICKET?! Ticketmaster, you suck. You also, apparently, screwed over some Springsteen fans and scalped the bad music loving bastards.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., are asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate why TM’s Web site directed Boss fans to its secondary ticketing site, TicketsNow, during the Springsteen onsale when primary tickets were still available.

“We can’t let the screen doors slam on die-hard Boss fans,” Schumer said at a press conference. “Fans who thought they were going to the promised land of regular-priced tickets found themselves in the badlands of ticket scalpers.”
