After the Obama/Biden Administration accepted payoffs and- against overwhelming opposition- allowed the Ticketmaster/live nation monopoly, they now act like they want to break it up.

The corrupt Obama Assistant AG that pushed the merger through despite objections from the artists, promoters, and venues was quoted-
“I will be keeping a very close eye on this settlement as we go forward,” Varney said. “You can probably expect to see three competitors and generally when you see robust competition you see prices coming down.”

Just like Obamacare, which happened during the same time period, they expected that having them in control of a newly formed single entity would “lower costs”for consumers. And similarly to Obamacare, the government authorized entity is having a profit windfall and passing it along to the administration via lobbyists and PACs as tribute to continue to exist.

The uniparty will do a show hearing before the new congress is sworn in to virtual signal that they care that Ticketmaster is raking it in with these policies, while at the same time the exact same people that facilitated the monopoly are assuring the executives that their tribute payments weren’t for naught.

I will never buy another ticketMaster ticket again. Total fucking ripoff. $150 tickets ($75 each) cost me $210 and now I get daily spam in my email that I can't make go away. You have to create an account to change email preferences and it still doesn't stop.

$20 is too much, and I can't think of any act I'd pay that much to see.

After the Obama/Biden Administration ... allowed the Ticketmaster/live nation monopoly, they now act like they want to break it up.

Create the problem, and then sell the cure. The oldest scam in the book.

They created a monopoly the deep state does not really care about specifically so that they can now appear to be 'Monopoly Busters' fighting for the rights of the people.
