FOR THE TURNSTILES: Neil Young Plans to End Platinum Tickets ... On Future Tours

Ah, yes, For The Turnstiles, Cough Up The Buck$, Watch Out For The Greedy Hand ... yet again.

Or ... trending hashtag #SwiftedAgainBreakupTicketMasterLiveNationMonopoly.

Neil Young plans to end sales of "Platinum Tickets" on his future tours, per a statement on Neil Young Archives.

This summer's LOVE EARTH tour tickets were offered by TicketMaster with a “Platinum” option in order to thwart scalpers. From Neil's statement:

“My management and agent have always tried to cover my back on the road, getting me the best deals they could. 

They have tried to protect me and the fans from scalpers who buy the best tickets and resell them at huge increases for their own profits..

Ticketmaster’s high priced Platinum tickets were introduced to the areas where scalpers were buying the most tickets for resale. The money went to me. That did not feel right. Very soon, Platinum tickets will no longer be available for my shows.

I have decided to let the people work this out. 

Buy aggressively when the tickets come out or tickets will cost a lot more in a secondary market.”

OK, "buy aggressively" should work pretty well against sophisticated, deep pocketed scalpers. Not.
