Quoted from Deez:I think it's a funny thought the government going after a concert ticket company. It's a complete luxury good. The prices are so high because like pinball machines, stupid people pay them. Acting like ticketmaster is Rockefeller or something is comical.
Every few years a politician does some sabre rattling about going after them and then there’s some class action suit and if you fill out the required paperwork with proof of purchase you get a $3 credit to a show, the lawyers get 20 mil, and the cycle repeats itself. Ticketmaster/Live Nation spend a fortune in political contributions to ensure nothing ever changes. As a music fan I who’s given them a sickening amount of money I’ve given up caring because it will never change. It seems the artists have given up as well. I even had to pay those ball bags a fee to watch a high school football game.
