Ticketmaster got blocked from charging junk fees at checkout, so it emailed venues telling them to absorb those fees into costs instead.

Same fees, less visibility. That is not compliance — that is a workaround in writing.

With last year being slow plus several new, non LiveNation venues opening up, I think only about 27 of that 132 were ticketed through #Ticketmaster (went to 31 events, in 2025).

I know that that 132 is considerably short of my lifetime total and may not even account for the last decade's worth […]

Last summer, I'd bought tickets — through TicketMaster — to an event in the second half of September. Unfortunately, a couple months after buying the tickets, my wife had to have foot surgery. The surgery was the same week as the show. The tickets weren't all that expensive and I didn't know […]

Is there ANY company more evil than the combined, anti-consumer monopoly of Live Nation/Ticketmaster/StubHub??

NO. There is not.

They have single-handedly DESTROYED the concert-going experience.
And guess what? #ThatAsshole just got the anti-trust case tossed.

I have earned the right to post my opinions. If Bruce wants to actually be effective in removing the orange cancer, getting on the concert bandwagon isnt one of them. I'll laugh even more if #ticketmaster gets involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter

#Ticketmaster charged you for the convenience of printing your own ticket along with an ad that you produce but they get paid for.

This is a company that has people who come up with as many bullshit fees as possible. Ticketmaster is all that is wrong with alleged capitalism.

#cdnpoli

The problem is that LiveNation/Ticketmaster has a monopoly on the industry.

Until they have real competition, I seriously worry that Ticketmaster will raise their original prices, seeing dollar signs.

This actually might be worse for Ontarians. Thoughts?
