The problem in one word: Ticketmaster.

I have been boycotting that company since the mid-1980’s. And it isn’t just about concerts.

I don't pay for baseball tickets in my city either. I figure that I pay enough for the stadium in taxes every year as is.

Also don't like driving downtown.

But tickets will drop in my hand every now and then.

Empty seats don't look good on tv.

When I went to see a Montreal Expos game, attendance would drop off around 3,500.

Live Nation and Ticketmaster, have, I believe, merged.
