I wish the government would break up the monopoly they have on eroding our rights, but oh well.

Ticketmaster is interrupting the circuses. That's why government cares.

One of the original creators of TicketMaster is Terry A Davis, of /v/TempleOS fame.

Ticketmaster, therefore, cannot be stopped.

Yeah ‘white hats’, break up the federal reserve if you have the balls. They don’t. Last concert I was at was ‘Dio’ in 1986. I don’t give a fuck about concerts. Concert ticket prices aren’t destroying this country. This is pure bread and circuses.

Many are working toward this very end.

Everyone that ever bought a ticket will get $3 back in a class action and the jew lawyers will make $100 million. This monopoly is why I stopped going to LiveNation shows. I looked at one artist and it was over 35% fees compared to the ticket price.
I support my small venues, they are much more intimate also.
