Ok so can something be actually be done about it please? We’ve had congressional inquiries about this and they’re still out there monopolizing the live entertainment industry.
I mean, would two tickmasters really be better than one? We have a shit load of captive industries that have like “8 companies” and they just collude to fuck us.
I suppose another option would be to void all exclusive contracts they have with venues and artists and mandate that venues be able to sell tickets to all events held there directly without a ticket seller involved.
But the breakup I proposed would have two equally sized entities for a given region, so there would be built in competition, which would allow other ticket sellers to grow as well.
I do like that idea. And yeah, it would be better, I just don’t know how much better. You don’t see new oil companies popping up, media companies, etc.
I feel like this is just the end result of capitalism and it’s always going to be. You can’t just take take take take take and expect everything to continue to work.

The wheels of justice are slow, frustrating, and easily purchased.
Luigi for the CEO.
Seems like the most workable option would be splitting it up into eight components: 2 entities each for roughly a quarter of the country each.
Actually making that happen could take a while, though.
