I went to an EWF concert a few years ago. After that I swore off attending any concert venue. Problem solved.
You know what would bring pricing down? If folks didnt fight each other over 1000 dollar concert tickets. Can we look into the debt and inflation instead?

Humorous what DOJ goes after but fails to touch Hunter Biden’s & his laptop.
We’re $35 trillion in debt, and these idiots are worried about concert ticket prices?
We’re so effed.....
Brilliant.
This might not matter to an old fuddy-duddy who last paid $25 to see the Stones back in the 1970’s, but it’s *HUGE* to people from teens to early 30’s who go to (or would like to go to) multiple concerts a year.
Ultimately merely symbolic, but probably of more meaning to a demographic the current administration is courting and counting on than capital gains cuts or Chinese infrastructure hacking.
Monopolies are bad, breaking them up is good, at least to all but a very few people.
I don’t think it will do all that much, since the REAL reason for high costs is that the artists and venues are merely charging what people would have otherwise paid scalpers.
I mean folks like Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, or Dream Theater might as well get the $1000 directly, instead of getting $150 for a ticket that a scalper resells for $1000.
And Live Nation either is or has the same parent company as “Liberty Media”. So? Who are they you ask? They own the commercial rights to Formula 1. The SAME Formula 1 that’s keeping American team Andretti from being able to join. So, this might have something to do with THAT as well.
Good. Ticketmaster has been a scummy organization for decades. High time they were completed put out of business.

Monopolies are never good, when will they go after the government school monopoly?
