Maybe take an Econ 101 class. This has nothing to do with the secondary market or government regulating fees. |

Is anyone? Are sports and music events mandatory and you HAVE to attend? It's everyone's right to decide if they want to attend or not and spend the price. None of the governments business. Complete overreach |

FFS man, do you not understand supply/demand and how a monopoly can operate outside the free market controls for costs of goods? It seems that you are not only a dipshit when it comes to phone icons but also economics.

There are antitrust laws, The Sherman Antitrust Act... it's literally their business and has been for over 100 years.

Which sucks. I'd pay $350 easy to do it this year again. But at the current prices, it goes down as "life experience," not "weekend entertainment." |

There's definitely a tug of war in my mind between "**** TicketMaster" and allowing them to dictate never seeing a decently priced show (or a not so decently priced sporting event) live again. Hell, just take away the double dipping of 20% secondary market fees and that would be a huge step forward. |

In a lot of cases they are the only option, you fat dumbass. Companies like Stubhub and Seatgeek are secondary sales so you have the additional markup after they have purchased tickets from Ticketmaster.

In a capitalist society, two things happen:
1. Many competitors should get in the market with better pricing/lower fees. 2. People finally have enough and stop going. I love it that people will spend $500 a night for a hotel to just sleep while on vacation with stupid resort fees or $75,000 for a new car with dealer fees now over $1,000 in some cases or pay a realtor in the past $50,000 ****ing dollars to sell a house. These are all choices....... Different for a single utility company that has an absolute monopoly. |
