Feds subpoena Ticketmaster over egregious concert ticket prices — A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn’t “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress::A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn’t “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress.
Not to mention they own a secondary ticket market and makes a lot of money off scalping being a thing.

I was watching this happen day of for a show in Montreal just recently. There were few seats available for weeks leading up to the show with resale tickets around 200 to 300 CAD a piece, then day of big chunks of non resale seats came available for a fraction of that.
Artificial scarcity. Total and complete scam.
Makes me think that the scalpers are employed by TM…
They’re actually global epidemic. And it amazes me that you can sell a ticket to someone who doesn’t have the intention of physically putting a physical body of themselves, a friend or family in the seat. All it does is lock real dedicated fans out.
At the very least I think artists should be able to choose to not have their tickets sold on the secondary market.
