Live Nation and Ticketmaster were allowed to merge in 2010. The result?

They now control 70% of the primary ticketing and live event venues market.

They exploit all of us — and we simply have to take it.

Big mergers are terrible for everyone but super-rich CEOs.

@rbreich

Big mergers always have been and always will be terrible for everyone but the super-rich CEOs.

Not just the Live Nation and Ticketmaster merger, but pretty much any massive merger in history.

@Jeroen @rbreich And the politicians who financially benefit by allowing these monopolies. Follow the money.
@tracilaw @Jeroen @rbreich correct. Keep the population dumb and unhealthy is good for business. Very sad.
