Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with providing awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket price.
The DoJ will announce an antitrust lawsuit against the company this week.
@rbreich Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a huge part of why I only go to see bands at bars, clubs, and small auditoriums. Those club owners and performers need my financial support; Ticketmaster and Bruce Springsteen do not.
