In other words, everyone, including your favorite bands, likes things the way they are. Things will not change unless the fans take a stand, which means things will never change.
That’s not true.
Many bands have been very vocal about how much they dislike ticketmaster. Some have gone to great lengths to avoid ticketmaster or attempt to circumvent many of ticketmaster’s practices.
