The answer is capitalism, I know.
But it wasn’t always like this. Why the hell are they allowed to absolutely monopolize all shows and venues? How are there not laws on this?
Is stopping going to any shows the only way to fix this? If so, that wont happen. People are gonna go see their favorite bands (and ticketmonster knows it)
I wish this one was as easy as getting rid of all my streaming services - but they really fucked us over for live shows.
Because people keep giving them money
They haven’t actually got a full monopoly. You can give axs money. You can in some cases go to the box office ahead of time like it’s 1980.
If you want to see taytay, you are indeed going to pay ticketmaster, but the only way to defeat them is by not giving them money.
Is this what it’s like to grow up on tiktok? Nobody has any ambition. It’s all just bootstrapping and personal responsibility.
I have no idea what this means. Like I understand the individual words but when you put them together it’s just noise.
I’m saying that people like boycotts more than they like actually doing anything. I think it’s a power fantasy, personally.
That said, I don’t expect anything to happen in the next 10 or 15 years given who’s currently in charge, so may as well.
