À shitty seat is SEVEN HUNDRED dollars ?! What the fuck is wrong with y'all? Is that like a world cup finale or something? That's an insane price.

"Hypocrite Mamdani breaths the same air as billionaires!"

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 18 points 16 hours ago

The assumption that wealth and power always leads to privilege and corruption is so engrained that a mayor sitting in the nosebleeds seems like a joke, rather than nosebleeds costing $700 fucking dollars.

HE WANTS TO GIVE POOR PEOPLE MORE MONEY BUT HE ALSO MAKES MONEY! CURIOUS!

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Fox news: "That suit? 3 figures. The so-called socialist could have donated that money to the food pantry, but splurged on expensive clothes instead."

Fox viewers: clapping and barking like trained seals

Meanwhile, trump installs a third solid gold toilet next to his bed.

Just wait until they find out what mustard he uses on his hotdogs/burgers.

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Isn't the establishment's notion that "success is achievable by anyone"? Why the shaming? If Mamdani was poor, their narative would probably be like: "He couldn't help himself why'd you think he could help you?"

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

The point isn't to make sense or be consistent.

It's to demonize anyone deemed a threat to the status quo.

[–] Bloefz@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

The establishment's notion is more like "success only belongs to white conservatives like us"

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Who owns the NY Post? There's you reason and they probably own the opposing news outlet to sell shit to both sides.

[–] Doom@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I just spent $160 to go to a standing room only concert at a SMALL venue. And a lot of that price was the fucked up administrative fees. These assholes really do not understand/care how much the one and only ticket company around is gouging us.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, like the idea that tickets to watch a sports game are $700 for cheap ones is ridiculous. I don't get why so many are willing to spend that much for something like that. I've been in the nosebleed section for concerts, but even then, most of the experience is listening with some visuals to go along with that. Sports is all about the visuals that you can barely even see from that far back. MMA is especially one that I'd rather just watch on TV vs even the good seats, which can become less good if the action is happening on the far side of the ring.

And those "fees" should be required to be included in the advertised ticket price. Personally, I don't like when even just taxes are added at checkout instead of the advertised price, though they at least make sense because different regions have different taxes. But the ticketmaster "fees" are just predictable extra charges they add on themselves because most people don't say "fuck no" and just close the form when ticketmaster comes in with the "oh btw" and adds them on.

I love concerts but frankly don't expect to ever see one again, other than maybe lucking into random ad hoc ones because I hate ticketmaster but don't expect to see that situation improved on when it should be called a monopoly and broken up into many entities.

[–] quarkquasar@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

They're probably mocking him for not being able to afford better seats.

What a fool, isn't even leveraging his NYC mayorship to enrich himself!

[–] III@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

They will take any angle that hooks their idiot masses. Probably multiple, contradicting angles that hood their idiot masses.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 15 points 1 day ago

I thought we were condemning Mamdani for buying such expensive tickets while everyone is struggling even to eat, but these were the CHEAP tickets?? What. The. Actual. Fuck.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

When the Florida panthers sucked, I could get into the upper section for $15. Now that they won 2 Stanley cups, last row in nosebleeds is $80. Fucking Florida fairweather fans.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 20 hours ago

For those who don't know, it's the NBA Conference Finals hence why the tickets are so expensive.

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Good for Mamdani, hope he enjoyed the game!

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Tabloids swing and miss on everything, they're a joke.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

The way they're pricing this stuff I believe it cost around $40 to even think about the games.

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Lel. Also dafuq. 700, and I assume this us USD, for a nosebleeds ticket.

Oof.

Uuf.

Oughf.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It cost 25 bucks to see a pistons game in the late 90s.

The fuck is 700 for shit seats!?!

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 216 points 1 day ago (6 children)

The pedophile spends millions of dollars of all yall's money to golf at his own resorts where he gets profits from that. Oh, he also rapes children for fun...

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He (Trump) just stole 1.8 billion dollars in taxpayer money from us. Millions is no longer the number we're talking about.

[–] RustyEarthfire@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Actually it's not limited to 1.8 billion dollars. It's a completely blank check. You can see the settlement here: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1441201/dl

So frustrating seeing all of the "news" platforms parroting the regime's claims as if they were a trustworthy source

Hey now, the pedo in chief also gets the DOJ he runs to settle with him in a case he brought against the IRS to the tune of a couple billion. He's not just enriching his businesses.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m so tired. I can’t deal with this fucking shit anymore. Most of us are struggling to eat and pay rent, and this orange fucking turd piece of shit is enriching his pockets. I can’t do it anymore :/

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 18 hours ago

Look, we have to keep fighting any way we can. When we're done with that bloated bladderface we're gone have a massive party, ok? Does that sound good? We'll have a party?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

and giving FREE MONEY TO J6 who he later called LOSERS and low-class, and now trying to give them the go-ahead to commit more violence to distract from the epstein files.

The price of that ticket gave me a nosebleed

The knicks are on a crazy 10 game run never done before and 1 game away from being in the finals which they havent made since 1999. Tickets would normally be kind of high, but all of this and the demand is high by fans. Its been so crazy that ticket sales and audience attendees at away games are showing more knicks fans over the home team.

700 dollar for a ticket isn't tooo much? I would watch it on my TV lol in this economy

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (17 children)

They're desperate to make a scandal out of anything.

Same with Graham Platner. These fuckers so badly want anyone who wants you to be able to live off one job to be pounded back into obscurity, no matter how ridiculous the made-up scandal may be.
