I wouldn't have guessed I would get the "Defender of Ticketmaster" square on my 2024 Bingo card.

And the networks are at least competing for those events, while the issue here is the steps TicketMaster has taken to monopolize arenas and force shows to only deal with them. |

Schmo will need to spend extra money to buy influence, respect, and friends on this forum after his dumb ****ing take and subsequent doubling down on said take.
Dumb, old, fat, unlikeable ****. |

DirecTV back in the day could jack up the price because it was exclusive and they could even jack up their normal monthly fees because **** you. Where as if Prime suddenly wanted to charge $100 for a single playoff game, it would be so far out of whack, the NFL would probably have major concerns about ratings and would go with the cheaper option for fans (for their own ratings of course, not because they give a shit about fans). At least that competition exists for some consumer benefit in the end. |

TicketMaster IS a scam, but do we really wanna involve the govt. in this? Let's think about that for a second.
TicketMaster has the right to charge whatever ridiculous fees they want to and you as the consumer have the right to tell them to '**** off' and not purchase from them. |

They have the right but they also produce the shows.
So they have the contact with the artist and then they say you can only buy from us and then they say it costs extra money for that right. |
