The artist is their customer, not you. If Ticketmaster didn't gouge you, give most of the gouging proceeds to the artist, and take the flak like a lightning-rod

The artist is their customer, not you. If Ticketmaster didn't gouge you, give most of the gouging proceeds to the artist, and take the flak like a lightning-rod, they would quickly be replaced by a service that did.
- Apocryphon 3y agoWhat if there was more competition in the space, and there were operators of that didn’t gouge quite so much.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoThere is. But the nature of popular media is that it is desired by the populous. Lots of cheap places and venues have no name bars with no name musicians and singers playing all the time. But if you want to see someone that appeals to the whole populace, then you will have to compete with the whole populace.
