    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.

    Quoted from jeffmd72:

    Not to mention, once you pay for over-inflated price for the tickets, you get to go to the concert and watch everyone around you dicking around on their fucking phones during the show. Why even bother going if you are going to sit there on Facebook the whole time??

    I’m a big believer in letting people do their own thing and tuning them out as long as they’re not bothering me, but those people are fucking morons and legit piss me off. I get taking a picture or two, I do it myself, but can these people not enjoy anything unless it’s on a screen? What am I missing?

    Quoted from Deez:

    I was at a Brit Floyd concert a few years ago and a woman right in front of me had a fucking ipad in front of my face. I asked her to put it away and her boyfriend tried to fight me. Some people are just insane. I can't understand people that are unable to live in the moment and will ruin their experience for online validation. Crazy town.

    But who is validating them? Are they posting them to Youtube and hoping they get x amount of views and follows so they get ad money? Even though there’s 500 other mouth breathers doing the same thing? I had a dude tell me that he was doing it for the memories of being there lol. I was going to suggest his buddy record him recording the concert if that’s what he wanted.
