Posts criticizing Live Nation/Ticketmaster and its CEO (e.g. "THAT'S THE CEO OF LIVENATION????????"), debating the phrase "a win for fans," and discussing fanhood, entitlement, consumption, and lack of affordability for live music (mentions: ticket, concert, denied, lyrics, win).

it disgusts me that we live in such a capitalist society that consumption becomes the self to the point of demonstrating "fanhood" through spending more than anyone else. music in itself is such a beautiful thing, and everybody deserves access to it. i don't care if you know all the lyrics.
