Fees on stubhub for a masters badge earlier this year were ~$2500. Insane.

Ticketmaster is a very good example of a monopoly and predatory pricing.

Pear Jam was leading this charge decades ago. No one could have envisioned the insanity that it is today. Complete monopoly that negatively affects consumers.

These companies have to be hit hard, or they’ll take the slap on the wrist and move on.

Go after executives personally as well

I totally agree in theory though I did sink a good chunk of change into Livenation stock a few months back. Ouch

The thing that gets me is when you go on StubHub or whatever prior to the "on sale" date to the public and they already have specific great seats available.

Couple years later and it looks like a jury found them guilty. I wonder what changes this will usher in?
