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.
@pdkcooks sure, cash or trade is fine, but it's a short term solution to an untenable problem.
Need one with my finger in the air still works!
@Deadmule agreed, I hate dealing with TM and all the shows I’ve seen recently had plenty of folks selling at the show or on CoT.
Have you ever lucked out or had to pay crazy high prices day of? Just wondering in case I decide to go cold turkey from the Ticketmaster monopoly this summer.
@pdkcooks also, need one at Billy Strings show still works!
