I go to a lot of concerts. Ticketmaster covers half of the shows I go to. They're not that much worse than others who also tack on fees amounting to 20% of the purchase price.
I'm not opposed to basic regulation, but let's not act like Ticketmaster is some uniquely evil company.
I'm going to keep going to see Big Rock Shows because that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm going to keep getting GA tickets (what seats?), because I am nowhere near old enough to stay out of the pit once my pant legs start flapping from a grotesquely overbuilt PA.
And in my neck of the woods, bands at bars can't scratch that itch.
So that means paying (and complaining about) Ticketmaster.
