How the fuck is this my problem, ticketmaster?!

Apparently they won't sell you seats if you leave a single seat next to your order. Fuck this shitty monopoly
You're viewing a single thread.
If Mark Cuban has the resources to take on the drug industry by creating a service to get reasonably priced medicine, can we ask him to make a new TicketMaster that doesn't rip everyone off?
Won't work. Livenation owns the majority of the major venues in the US.
You're saying you can't make a new ticketmaster because first you'd need to make a new livenation and buy out the venues first...?
That doesn't mean it won't work. That just means you'd need to make a new livenation and buy out the venues first.
A competing service in the non-Livenation venues would be enough to take a chunk of a Ticketmaster's bottom line and force them to compete again, something they haven't had to do in a while.
Not really. Big acts want big venues. Live Nation owns those or has exclusivity agreements with them. It is very much a monopoly.
Sounds like a pretty clear cut antitrust issue
I have a friend who did this, quitting their job for ticketmaster to run it. If you run a venue, get in touch and I can link you guys up, they have a list of clients, testimonials and competitive pricing, with an ethos based around consumer-fair practices.
