I never used ticketmaster and it is not a monopoly. Choose the right company to sell you tickets.

- lxgr 3y agoSurely you've been to shows at every possible venue to be able to extrapolate that bold of a claim from your personal experience?
- prmoustache 3y agoNo but appart from festivals (which were not relying on ticket master) I haven't seen tickets sold by only one company. Usually there are different ones and also some plain old in person in ticket office of department stores.
- MildRant 3y agoThere are venues that are Ticketmaster specific because Ticketmaster's parent company owns the venue and some acts just use Ticketmaster because they are the most popular ticketing service. If I want to go to UFC 292 for example, I have to get my tickets through Ticketmaster. UFC isn't using some service that shows up on indiehacker
- prmoustache 3y agoA fraction of a fraction of a fraction of all tickets/venues available. So hard to boycott.
- yencabulator 3y agoTicketmaster is the only company selling tickets to several venues, there is no choice of who to buy from available there. The only choice is to boycott your favorite artist because their record label made a deal with the wrong company. That's too many layers of indirection, for many fans.
