One More Reason Not to Use Ticketmaster

Ed Foster on Ticketmaster's Privacy Policy:
Opting Out is Not an Option: In other words, Ticketmaster's "Event Partners" get a nice little dossier on each customer including name, street address, email address and telephone number. (Credit card numbers are only shared with Event Partners in special circumstances, the Ticketmaster privacy policy says.) And customers has no way of knowing which of these partners are getting this information, or stopping them from passing it on to others.
