Explosive New Documents Unearthed On Live Nation/Ticketmaster

Congressman Bill Pascrell released a report today on precisely how Live Nation/Ticketmaster 'essentially defrauds' artists, consumers, and promoters. It's all about the rebates, baby.

BIG by Matt Stoller

Because I live in The Land That Time Forgot, I haven't seen a concert performance of a band I have actually wanted to see in an entire decade. I would have to drive hours away in order to even have a chance, I don't have a car, and I can't afford the insane prices, anyway. And #FuckTicketMaster #FuckLiveNation #FuckStubHub

I could theoretically take #Amtrak to NYC or Philly, but then I'd need a place to stay for several days in order to make the train schedules, not to mention taking off work.

Today's #SongOfTheDay is "Treat Us This Way" by Baltimore ska band Urban Crater, a great song about the shit promoters and venues rip off smaller bands and opening acts making it so that everyone makes a profit except the actual band.
