For a long time, many promotors or events were hit or miss. Some made money and some didn't.
The industry has taken off in the last 10 years as the US consumer is flush. If this was a real problem, then stadiums and events wouldn't be so much in demand. Ticketmaster's margins are not high . Just look at NVDA's dominance. Better product, sky high margins and massive cash and profits.

Tickets should be sold by whoever controls the venue. Simple. Not sure why a third-party ever got involved.

Or the performers could sell tickets directly to the public. They are the ones who are (or should be) the most concerned about making fans happy. Why would they leave any customer service up to a venue or some rotten dickhole entity like Ticketmaster?

Well, better late than never, I guess. Pearl Jam tried to do their part 30 years ago and nobody game a damn. Thanks for coming to the rescue "Justice" department.

Tickets were $20 back then. I have ticket stubs from OZZY and Priest that were $10 for first row dead center. Now, It's $150 to see anyone and thats usually in the upper deck. Major band? North of $200.00. When you are paying a booking/convience fee on a $10 ticket is a way different animal from paying that fee on a $200 ticket. Thats just not inflation and increased costs.

I would love to know how many of supporters of the Justice Department going after Ticketmaster use Uber Eats or DoorDash.

Door dash has 66% of the market and Ticketmaster 70%.
You want to update your statement?

That has nothing to do with the presence of competitors, so, no.
