And Stubhub used to be amazing until they went the same route of 20-25% fees several years ago, probably colluding with TM's reselling of tickets.

Good lord that is insane.
I don't want government to regulate concert ticket prices, I want government to bust up monopolies like they should be busted up. There's a HUGE difference, there.

I love it that people will spend $500 a night for a hotel to just sleep while on vacation with stupid resort fees or $75,000 for a new car with dealer fees now over $1,000 in some cases or pay a realtor in the past $50,000 ****ing dollars to sell a house.

These are all choices.......

Different for a single utility company that has an absolute monopoly.
Who knew we had Milton Friedman in our midst? Please continue to educate us good sir!

Can we also crack down on bots that purchase tickets during the first 10 minutes of the sale and then sell them afterwards at jacked up prices?

Another stupid comment.

Hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker.

The ability of some of you to actually engage in an intelligent conversation and not resort to the same ol stupid shit comment with insults thinking you are always the smartest person in the room is hilarious.

Yes, this is no different than a network buying exclusive rights to entertainment and then charging for you to watch it on Peacock, Prime or Netflix.

They will just do away with the fees and charge more for tix.
