Ticketmaster is a bigger scalper than those who do it for a living

Even though Ticketmaster is known for its ridiculous added fees (convenience charges, order processing fees, etc) which can effectively double the price of a ticket, it seems that is not enough. So in their evil mastermind plan, they decide to sell all the good seats on TicketsNow, an affiliated site. The only catch is, that the tickets are overpriced, sometimes by hundreds of dollars on top of the face value. That would explain why I can never find decent tickets for a concert, even if I look for them the instant they are available for sale.

It seems the Ontario government has received a lot of complaints recently from consumers that are redirected to that site and decided to launch an investigation. I really hope Ticketmaster gets burned badly for years of ripping off consumers.
