If you’re like me, you already despise both Ticketmaster and Live Nation. They’re nothing more than glorified middlemen. The only thing that separates them from scalpers is the fact that they’re “licensed distributors”… whatever the hell that means. Here’s a recent example: just this past week I purchased a $29.50 concert ticket, but after a $12 “Ticket Fee” the total price paid was $41.50. So 30% of my cost was this mysterious ticket fee. And it’s not like we have any other options; if you wait until the day of the concert to buy directly from the venue then you run the risk of the tickets selling out.
Well now these two hustlers may be merging to form the ultimate nemesis of concert-goers everywhere. Check out this article from CNN: Ticketmaster-Live Nation Talks Raise Concerns
I would’ve written a full-blown editorial about these criminals but I decided it would simply make me way too angry.
