Just another issue with ticketmaster that should deter buyers from using their services. Customers endure inflated prices from ticketmaster along with this privacy issue and and a multitude of other problems over the years yet people still regard ticketmaster as the premiere source for buying tickets. There are other sites out there that offer the same inventory and services as ticketmaster at competitive prices. Sites like tickex.com are a useful resource because it shows the inventory of all ticket sites and allows you to find the lowest price for the ticket you want. http://www.tickex.com

I submitted a better business bureau complaint (US) and after about a week I got a response back from them telling me I was off the list. After unsubscribing about 30 times, this is what it took to stop getting the mail.

Good luck.
