Some of you are really silly.
If I offer you tickets at $500 no fees or $400 with $200 of fees, which do you want? Try buying tickets on Craigslist without getting ****ed or scammed. I'm no fan of monopolies but lets be real, tickets for all events are ridiculous and the fees are just salt in the wound, not the root cause of the bigger problem. The athletes and entertainers are being paid crazy sums.

Between the fees and the ticket costs themselves, I've pretty much been priced out of live events. They're simply not worth the cost of admission, no matter what the performance is.

Which sucks. I'd pay $350 easy to do it this year again. But at the current prices, it goes down as "life experience," not "weekend entertainment."

There's definitely a tug of war in my mind between "**** TicketMaster" and allowing them to dictate never seeing a decently priced show (or a not so decently priced sporting event) live again. Hell, just take away the double dipping of 20% secondary market fees and that would be a huge step forward.

So some of you now want our government to start regulating fees on tickets to sporting and music events?
Good lord that is insane.

Is anyone? Are sports and music events mandatory and you HAVE to attend? It's everyone's right to decide if they want to attend or not and spend the price. None of the governments business. Complete overreach

There are antitrust laws, The Sherman Antitrust Act... it's literally their business and has been for over 100 years.

I'm not being forced to buy tickets but when I buy tickets I am forced to deal with that entity, That's the problem and the whole point of the Sherman antitrust act.
