Apparently they won’t sell you seats if you leave a single seat next to your order. Fuck this shitty monopoly
minus-square@foggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•6 months agoYou’re saying you can’t make a new ticketmaster because first you’d need to make a new livenation and buy out the venues first…? That doesn’t mean it won’t work. That just means you’d need to make a new livenation and buy out the venues first.
minus-square@Szymon@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish10•6 months agoA competing service in the non-Livenation venues would be enough to take a chunk of a Ticketmaster’s bottom line and force them to compete again, something they haven’t had to do in a while.
