Another reminder that concentrated corporate power rarely disciplines itself. When a dominant gatekeeper in live entertainment escapes structural remedies, fans keep paying the price through fees, limited choice, and locked venues. Break monopolies. Restore competition.
3/9/26, 06:15 PM
That's pretty much all major venues (ticketmaster/livenation). Yes - a boycott would hurt the companies but it would devastate the music industry. A better strategy would be to buy tickets at the venue directly to avoid most of these fees.

I don't think that many music venues in the Netherlans still work with ticketmaster they moved to other ticket providers by now ... Wonder why .... 😘

Ticketmaster made $145 million last year but paid no taxes due to Trump tax cuts. And got a deal with Trump to avoid any further monopoly problems.

Ticketmaster is a scalper. Why do we need them as middlemen in the era of smartphones and apps? They are also guilty of selling tickets to their own subsidiaries at a markup. We should be able to buy tickets directly from venues or artists via apps without the Ticketmaster Scalper Tax.

National Independent Venues Association: "Live Nation’s reported settlement amount - $280 million - is the equivalent of 4 days of their 2025 revenue, which means they could potentially make it back by this Friday." 🤡 country.

Ticketmaster, which claims to want to do something about the rising cost of sports and entertainment tickets, serves as a platform for predatory resellers. It used to be illegal to resell tickets at more than face value, mostly bc the corporations didn't take a cut. Now they get their cut.
