Ticketmaster/Live Nation is one of the most blatant monopolies in all of history. They should be torn to shreds.

    I'm shocked it's been allowed. They have been a monopoly for decades.

    For sure, this shit has been bothering me for years. For as long as I can remember, Ticketmaster has been the only way of getting tickets to big events near me. And I presume it's the same for everyone else too.

    How have they got away for so long without any competition?
