My OperaShakira in Queretaro
Saturday, May 12, 2007 8:33:15 AM
So Shakira is going to have a concert here in Queretaro, in the Corregidora Stadium, there are 30,000 tickets avaible, and Ticketmaster is selling them, the worst service ever by Ticketmaster, in Queretaro the tickets for concerts, sports and other kind of events are commonly sold by eTicket or the same people who is organizing the event, Ticketmaster never sold a ticket for an event in Queretaro before.
So, they started selling the Shakira tickets, the problem was that you have only few options, to buy the ticket and pay for receiving it in your home with a y expensive mail service like $200 pesos, or pick up your ticket in a Mix-Up music store, there are two of those stores in Queretaro, it is the cheapest option, and still will cost you $100 pesos extra, so my friend went to Mix-Up to pick up the tickets and the guy in the counter told him "we don't have any tickets here, nor the machine to print them", strange thing, so he called Ticketmaster and they told him to pick up the tickets in a Mix-Up store in Mexico City... imagine, the concert is in Queretaro, Mexico City is 3 hours from Queretaro, then you get lost in traffic while finding a Mix-Up store there!!
He complain, as many other people did, so finally the "smart guys" of Ticketmaster put a printer and terminal in the Mix-Up stores in Queretaro, before this they only had terminals in Monterrey, Mexico and Guadalajara, the biggest cities in the country, no wonder why eTicket is selling tickets in every other city in the country, they do have terminals everywhere and they charge less for the service.
