DOJ zerreißt vor Gericht das Ticketmaster-Monopol: „Heute ist die Konzertkartenbranche kaputt“

Glad they are going after the real priority. SMH

If ticketmaster uses dynamic pricing which aims to sell tickets at the maximum price and still sell out how is the public ripped off?

Its the artists that are ripped off or can’t perform without giving into ticketmasters policies.

If I am going to see pearl Jam I will wnd up laying the same price if they use dynamic pricing if I go on ticketmaster or ABC tickets. It should be the same price as stubhub. The market price.

Pearl Jam is the one who is actually ripped off. If they want to play in the US they have only 1 company to negotiate a deal with. Live nation. They control all of the venues. If you don’t pick their venue you can’t get into most venues. Then they are forced to use ticket master and pay whatever ticketmaster wants to charge. These costs don’t effect ticket prices because those are whatever the public will pay. It just effects the splitting of the pie between the artist and ticketmaster.

Its broken! And the only way to fix it is a bunch of big fat checks cut out to our campaign funds!
