pretty much all

What about the ones that weren't ticketmaster-only?

I find it hard to believe they couldn't find a place to have their shows. Maybe in a major city, but if they were willing to go outside of one then there's no way ticketmaster is going to have control over everything.

It could've been good business for the towns they played in and ticketmaster would be left out to dry.

I guess that's asking too much of them, though. Even though it's really not.

I'm going to have to say nay on their attempt. They could have and should have tried harder.

When the service gets its data leaked in a breach, your phone number is now visible to the public.

But then they won't have something to talk about to make them seem interesting!

in which case it simply doesn’t have the infrastructure to host a huge band.

What infrastructure? Amps? That's a non-issue.

I completely agree with you.

The whole atmosphere surrounding live shows is toxic as fuck. There are literally millions of useful idiots eager to get ripped off so they can fit in with each other.

It's a force that logic can't fight back against. We live in a world of morons, and seeing them get taken advantage of in this way is something we should just get used to.

I'm not holding my breath expecting things to change. My generation certainly wasn't the one to fix these problems.

Did they really try?

Seems like a popular group such as pearl jam could get away with selling tickets without this company.

Stop giving them money?

Seriously. Selling tickets doesn't have to be a million-dollar affair.

Odds are the venues that you're going to suck and exist to take advantage of people's low standards and excess wealth.

Did they shut down due to a lack of business, or was it the government stepping in and imposing its mandate that everyone else has to follow no matter what?

If it's the former, good. If it's the latter, then it's very bad.

Yeah, newsweek.

Where's CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo? Radio silence because there's nothing good to say, or we get some kind of opinion piece trying to paint Ukraine's losses as wins and Zelensky as some hero.

The copium among you people is palpable. You're incapable of recognizing when you've been taken for a ride or believed something that isn't true.

Propaganda works both ways. If you have trouble accepting this, then it's probably because you've fallen for it without realizing it and can't admit it.

Do your own research.

If you're trying to say that it doesn't happen, then say it so we can all laugh at your ignorance.
