    Ticketmaster didn't exist during woodstock...

    Furthermore a lot of the festivals now are contractually obligated to TM

    What is theoretically possible, and what is the reality of the situation are two diametrically opposed things.

    Artists, as a whole, loathe TM. Probably as much as the fans do. This is the problem when you have monopolies. They provide a subpar product at inflated prices. They're getting looked into as of today for antitrust practices. I, for one, will not be sad when they're broken up or shut down.

    Seems like a monopoly. No competition.

    That's exactly the problem. Under antitrust investigation as of today.

    Interesting, they squoozled with the meme basket Jan 2021. Hold those bags a bit longer, you might be surprised.

    Pearl FUCKING Jam couldn't beat ticketbastard...they gave up and moved back into the system..
    The only major person really defeating the system while still using Ticketmaster is Louis CK...
    your actual ticket isn't in your hand until 24-48hr before the show and has a no resale. You buy it you own it. If you were to resell it you would have to do it 24hrs before the show, print it out and then resell it...in person.

    And you get the added bonus of potentially getting him to touch his wee wee in front of you.

    There isn't one
    True what is theoretically possible and what is reality of the situation are two different things.

    Monopolies one company that owns everything are often broken up, or blocked from acquiring other companies. There's nothing stopping one person from owning all of the individual companies, or shares in all of the companies.

    That wouldn't be a monopoly any longer, but that person corporations are people. Can still control all of those individual companies. The end result might still be better for the consumer.

    I can't recall going to a TM event since I was in my early to mid teens, at that age I wasn't buying tickets.

    If it’s not a nude print of an original Picasso I’m not interested in a dividend
