Reply to ELI5: Everyone knows that Ticketmaster is the biggest scumbucket enterprise on the planet yet no band seems able to avoid their grasp. What's to stop a really major act (e.g. Taylor Swift) from performing in venues that are not controlled by Ticketmaster, or just setting up a parallel company? by havereddit
Boycott Ticketmaster. Fuck concerts. Hold out for a year and watch them change and beg for a fraction of the business back.
You have the power to slaughter Ticketmaster by literally doing nothing. Take one for the greater good, stay home, order some band merch and make the promoters and bands find the new solution.
Starve Ticketmaster and treat concert goers like rats that cross the union picket line. Do it for the next generation so that your kids can work part time and save up for a week to take a road trip to see their favourite band the way Hendrix and Cobain would have wanted it.

Don't fucking buy tickets. Concert goers are enabling the problem. Don't buy tickets. Starve the scalpers. Make Ticketmaster change, beg and plead for the privilege of earning your money in summer 2024.
