Flames scalpers are exploiting Johnny Gaudreau
As the world continues to mourn the passing of hockey superstar Johnny Gaudreau - Ticket Master is now facing some heavy scrutiny.
Johnny and his brother Matthew were struck by a vehicle near their home in Salem County, New Jersey, on Thursday night. Unfortunately, both Johnny and Matthew passed away as a result of the accident.
According Blade of Steel, a fan account on X the presale for the Calgary Flames versus Columbus Blue Jackets game on December 3rd is already sold out. However, not only is it sold out, the prices of the tickets have been marked up through the roof and tickets have reappeared at outrageous prices.
Ticketmaster is notorious for letting resellers buy and mark up the prices of their tickets taking them out of the hand of real fans. This is no different. The cheapest tickets you can find according to the post above are $170.40 at the press level, which is ridiculous.
Ticket Master, who already has a very poor reputation amongst its customers are letting scalpers take advantage of a horrific situation. The regular season hasn't even even started yet, and ticket prices for the Johnny Gaudreau memorial game have sky rocketed due to the re-sell value.
