You can’t buy Salzburg tickets from Viagogo
NewsAustria’s Supreme Court has upheld a lawsuit brought by the Salzburg Festival against the ticketing site Viagogo.
The Festival said Viagogo was posing as a legitimate outlet and charging inflated fees for Salzburg tickets, often selling them at many times the face value. The court has now ruled that its ‘unauthorized use of the Salzburger Festspiele’ brand’ was an act of deception.
Viagogo will be held liable for publicising the decision.
Good. Rightly so. Secondary ticket sellers are an absolute blight on society.
But you can go gaga from Salzburg.
Same thing should happen with Ticketmaster and similar gougers in the U.S.
