Some of you are really silly.

If I offer you tickets at $500 no fees or $400 with $200 of fees, which do you want?

Try buying tickets on Craigslist without getting ****ed or scammed.

I'm no fan of monopolies but lets be real, tickets for all events are ridiculous and the fees are just salt in the wound, not the root cause of the bigger problem.

The athletes and entertainers are being paid crazy sums.

Between the fees and the ticket costs themselves, I've pretty much been priced out of live events. They're simply not worth the cost of admission, no matter what the performance is.

Yeah I took my buddy to the home opener last year. I had to go to see the banner drop. The tickets were so goddamn expensive. I think it was like $1500 just to sit in the lower 3 rows of the upper deck. I'll never do that again.

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."

Yeah, I pretty much have to ignore the final price of events I really want to attend after all the fees and bullshit or else I'd never attend anything... and there are still plenty of fairly priced concerts out there before fees, it just sucks when that $40 ticket becomes $120 for a pair after fees.

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.

So some of you now want our government to start regulating fees on tickets to sporting and music events?

Good lord that is insane.

I want government to step in when the situation is unfair and the practices of Live Nation are unfair and not in good faith.

So, yeah.

Are you being forced to buy tickets?

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

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

I'm not being forced to buy tickets but when I buy tickets I am forced to deal with that entity, That's the problem and the whole point of the Sherman antitrust act.
