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.

    I would normally advise you to stick to the small stage stuff. Unfortunately anymore you have to go through a ticket service to see most of those shows. Fucking “convenience fees”

      That’s not how you use anymore. Anymore is a substitute for “no longer”.

      If there’s no other way to gain admittance then just stop going until they change it. Capitalists won’t change a thing until you affect their bottom line. I know, you have to give up entertainment and supporting broke ass artists, but it is what it is.
