Paula’s is a home away from home to so many of us. The events, music, great food, hospitality & fun at Paula’s has brought so much joy to all of us. This is the “gathering place” in Dutchess County for so many people.
Paula's Cafe is fun and inclusive and it's a fun place to be after a long day of work. We need to keep music going at Paula's. Paula has been dedicated to bringing bands to the Hudson Valley.
This would be a terrible loss for our community, and the betrayal of a small business. This is a long established and popular venue. It is a place where people come together over food and drink to laugh, dance, and celebrate community. It moved to this location with the expectation of continuing its mission. It is unacceptable to cost a business the expense of opening on a space a space based on a known business model, and then to deny that business the right to earn and thrive via their model. It would be a slap to the cultural and business community if you were to drive this establishment out.
Paula’s is an amazing venue for live music. We have had so many fun times with our girls, and with each other, listening to one of our favorite bands. I can’t imagine Paula’s without it. Please don’t take the music away!
I tried 4 times this week to get Sabrina Carpenter tickets, 3 pre-sales and the general public sale. For both cash-app and team sabrina pre-sales, I found an issue immediately with being in line behind more people than the stadium could fit (48,000-82,000). In the waiting queue, everyone got a message saying tickets were priced from $50-$500, which got mine and a lot of others hopes up. When I got into the cash-app sale, I found lower bowl tickets in the section I was eyeing, for $150. The problem is that when I clicked it and went to check out as fast as I could, it randomly increased to $500 tickets for 1 ticket. When trying to back out and find more seats, they were disappearing within seconds until there were none left. I was so devastated, and confused why the tickets jumped that much, so I went on Tiktok and found out that it wasn’t only me who went through this. To my understanding, dynamic pricing was on (WHICH artists have to option to turn off) and so the more people clicked on a certain area, the more expensive the tickets got. The other pre-sales were even worse, with only a few tickets being available in nosebleed for $300-$800 (these disappeared in seconds as well). I felt like I have wasted my time FIGHTING for tickets this week. Ticketmaster screwed so many fans over, I don’t understand why artists are still using this platform to sell tickets. What really got me upset, was seeing that some people desperately bought nosebleed tickets for $1K, while a handful of others got theirs for original ticket value ($100-200) for lower bowl seating, even pit. That isn’t fair at all. Something else to mention, is how other concert websites (Seatgeek, Stubhub, etc) have reselling tickets in every section, when the artist announced that all the shows were sold out. This whole set-up was poor planned, straight up rigged, and money grabbing for Ticketmaster. Clearly, bots and scalpers are more important to them. It honestly feels like a joke that I even tried to get them in the first place, I am disgusted by the greed. Last year, Sabrina performed on my birthday in my city, I didn’t get tickets because I live paycheck to paycheck. I wanted to surprise my mom and I with tickets, since this time it would be in between both our birthdays, neither of us have been to a concert before. As someone who barely gets by, who worked hard for ticket money, just to be bummed and defeated by the end. Disappointment is an understatement. This was my first and last time I tried Ticketmaster. This needs to stop. We need to hold not only Ticketmaster, but Artists accountable for continuing to support and use Ticketmaster. Performers know what this company is doing, yet allowing it which is disrespectful and greedy to fans. We deserve to go to a concert and not take out a loan to do so, we deserve to go to a concert without having to buy from a reseller, we deserve concerts to support our artists. This needs to change. Thank you for making this petition and allowing me to share my first and last experience with Ticketmaster.
I can’t afford to go to Dimash concerts overseas, plus scared to travel to non speaking English countries by myself. I have been wanting to see him for 3 years. Being able to watch him on the big screen in my own country would be the ultimate dream come true for me
