    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.
