My Chemical Romance Add More Dates To American Tour
After fans were burned by price hikes and scalpers, MCR added dates in New Jersey and California to their upcoming tour.
In under six hours, My Chemical Romance sold out their North American tour to the amazement and delight of fans. However, some MCR lovers weren't so lucky -- many claimed that they never had a chance to purchase tickets due to scalpers, while others said that automated price hikes made these tickets unaffordable. Now, the band have responded by adding several new dates to the tour, including one in New Jersey and many in California.
The pricing issue came from Ticketmaster's 'dynamic pricing' practice, in which tickets prices were adjusted due to levels of demand. The result was that many MCR fans suddenly found the tickets they intended to purchase were hundreds of dollars more than anticipated, some costing as much as $1,000. In response, the band added several shows in Inglewood, California, as well as one in Newark, New Jersey. Good on them for going to extra mile for their fans.
