Feds subpoena Ticketmaster over egregious concert ticket prices — A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn’t “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress::A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn’t “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress.
I don’t feel comfortable with them essentially operating a monopoly that both consumers and artists detest. I don’t feel comfortable with paying exorbitant meaningless fees if I ever want to experience a live event. It’s never mattered what I’m comfortable with, I’ve always gotten fucked. I don’t care how uncomfortable they are, I hope they get absolutely destroyed by legal fees and go bankrupt.
Not just them, everyone doing it.
We used to be able to get tickets to concerts at a small venue here by going into one of the music shops. No stupid fees, just whatever the ticket price was.
The venue stopped selling through these stores semi recently, moved to an online service, and now there’s no less than 30% fees, sometimes as high as 40%.
It’s absolutely ridiculous.
