Ticketmaster's sales model has provoked anger, with some Cure fans saying the various fees applied to their transaction added up to more than the face value of their ticket for the US tour.
The Cure frontman Robert Smith says he has persuaded Ticketmaster to partially refund the"unduly high" fees being added to tickets for their US tour - in some cases adding up to more than the price of a ticket.
The 63-year-old singer shared his frustration over the pricing on Twitter, telling his followers he was"as sickened as you all are" over the additional fees, and that he would contact the ticketing giant - which is the world's largest ticket-selling marketplace - to chase down answers. Using his trademark caps lock font he wrote:"I have been asking how they are justified. If I get anything coherent by way of an answer I will let you all know.", known for hits including Boys Don't Cry and Friday I'm in Love, had kept a low price point on their tickets - with some as low as $20 - in a bid to keep them affordable amid the cost of living crisis.
