The answer is capitalism, I know.
But it wasn’t always like this. Why the hell are they allowed to absolutely monopolize all shows and venues? How are there not laws on this?
Is stopping going to any shows the only way to fix this? If so, that wont happen. People are gonna go see their favorite bands (and ticketmonster knows it)
I wish this one was as easy as getting rid of all my streaming services - but they really fucked us over for live shows.
I have no idea what this means. Like I understand the individual words but when you put them together it’s just noise.
I’m saying that people like boycotts more than they like actually doing anything. I think it’s a power fantasy, personally.
That said, I don’t expect anything to happen in the next 10 or 15 years given who’s currently in charge, so may as well.
I still don’t get what you’re actually proposing, though. Companies run on money. If enough people are willing to say “no, I don’t want to see that show enough” then there is the possibility of change.
If you’re saying in an ideal world the government would do some antitrust…sure, as you said I’ll check back in in a decade and see how that’s going. For now I just don’t give them my money.
