If you throw the entire event yourself, you get to sell tickets however you want. Some bands that use TM have enough leverage to do presales or lotteries for their fans before the main sale on TM.
Most acts, at most venues, are forced to use Ticketmaster/Livenation/StubHub, because That's Just How It Works.

While a live band is very different than a stand up, I feel like if bands cared they could try something very similar. https://www.csmonitor.com/Business/2012/0628/Louis-C.K.-Comic-ditches-Ticketmaster-sells-4.5M-in-tickets https://www.csmonitor.com/Business/2012/0628/Louis-C.K.-Comi...
- dragonwriter 8y ago> You win if FanDuel ever pays this bettor the full $82,610 – whether due to public outcry or any action by relevant legal authorities. I win if the bettor accepts a settlement for less, such as the tokens-of-apology that FanDuel has already offered. They could try, but Ticketmaster owns a greater portion of the venues suitable for live band shows of any size than of those suitable for stand-up comedy, so they’d probably be a lot less successful with it. Especially if multiple touring bands tried to do it at the same time.
