The answer is capitalism, I know.
But it wasn’t always like this. Why the hell are they allowed to absolutely monopolize all shows and venues? How are there not laws on this?
Is stopping going to any shows the only way to fix this? If so, that wont happen. People are gonna go see their favorite bands (and ticketmonster knows it)
I wish this one was as easy as getting rid of all my streaming services - but they really fucked us over for live shows.
Consumers could fix it by boycotting them until they cease to exist, meanwhile buy merch from the artists you like.
But this requires people to temporarily sacrifice their desires and experience some FOMO, so it’s unlikely to ever happen.
Very true. Too bad there’s no other way.
Especially for kids who really like any older music, those bands will not be around long (many bands on the sick new world fest for an example are 35+ years old). So yeah I guess whole generations just have to miss out on that music they love.
