Prez Inauguration TicketMaster Fiasco Reminds Us The Private Sector Screws Up, Too

images (34)Those waiting patiently to buy a ticket for President Obama's final inaugural ball will be disappointed to know that they were accidently all sold out last Sunday. "A technical error" from Ticketmaster's system sent an email a day early and led to a flood of premature sales that sold out the entire stock of public tickets. For all the grumbles about government incompetence, the fumble is noteworthy since this was a private company taking over the responsibilities of a state function. It's a helpful reminder: the private sector screws up, too.
