    Ticketmaster/Live Nation is one of the most blatant monopolies in all of history. They should be torn to shreds.

      Most people don’t even know how many music venues the monopoly has acquired over the past 20 years

        It’s be easier to count the ones they haven’t gotten, on one hand.

          Live Nation and Ticketmaster merged in 2010. Why the merger was greenlit in the first place is beyond me.

      For sure, this shit has been bothering me for years. For as long as I can remember, Ticketmaster has been the only way of getting tickets to big events near me. And I presume it’s the same for everyone else too.

      How have they got away for so long without any competition?

      Torn to shreds and soaked in lye until a smooth pulp is formed.
