I'm sorry to be that guy but do you have literally any source for this? Might just be the musicians I like, or the fact that negativity is better for clicks, but I've never seen an artist saying they get any benefit from ticketmaster's fees and other such shenanigans; I've only seen artists and venues saying that they don't get any money or benefits at all from ticketmaster's racketeering.

From the Ticketmaster website: > ticket fees (which can include a service fee, order processing fee, and the occasional delivery fee) are determined by and shared between the parties who have a hand in making live events happen including venues, Ticketmaster, sports teams, leagues and promoters When the artist doesn't want their fans to be charged big fees - they have some say in it. Robert Smith of The Cure made a stand on this last year and got Ticketmaster to refund a bunch of money.

  > they have some say in it That's a very carefully crafted sentence. How much, exactly, do artists have a say? Do artists equally have the same amount of "say"? And why are we even discussing all these nonsense in the first place?
