Apparently they won’t sell you seats if you leave a single seat next to your order. Fuck this shitty monopoly
minus-square@johannesvanderwhaleslinkEnglish25•9 months agoWon’t work. Livenation owns the majority of the major venues in the US.
minus-square@foggylinkEnglish6•9 months agoYou’re saying you can’t make a new ticketmaster because first you’d need to make a new livenation and buy out the venues first…? That doesn’t mean it won’t work. That just means you’d need to make a new livenation and buy out the venues first.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•9 months agoA competing service in the non-Livenation venues would be enough to take a chunk of a Ticketmaster’s bottom line and force them to compete again, something they haven’t had to do in a while.
minus-square@MaggotylinkEnglish4•edit-29 months agoNot really. Big acts want big venues. Live Nation owns those or has exclusivity agreements with them. It is very much a monopoly.
