Let the latest Ticketmaster fiasco serve as a crucial reminder: We must revive antitrust law and stop the monopolization of America. Now.
@rbreich The number of ways Ticketmaster makes money in every ticket is disturbing. Convenience Fee. Electronic Delivery fee. Processing fee. Then they own the promoter who gets a cut of the tickets. Can't go? They'll get rid of your tickets for a fee. And they'll take fees from the person who bought them too. They get paid by American Express to allow early access to tickets. They allow secondary sale sites buy all the tickets and get a cut of those.
