This timeline is weird
Thieves are just there out on the open bragging how they steal, and then just taunt people with saying that they'll come back and steal some more
Yet he doesn't get jailed?
I appreciate what you're saying, but nobody is forcing anyone to buy tickets.
Stop going to arena shows! That's it! It's not even that hard, support small(er) local venues. If you have to miss massive band/artist, que sera. If the band doesn't give a shit, then it's not worth it anyway.
Right, but don't blame the victims. Consumer choice cannot bust monopolies. It does not work that way.
Yeah, I just can't buy this being a victim thing. I'll put the slider somewhere between nothing and victim, but you don't need to see Taylor Swift. I'll even accept that you need to see live music, but there is live music available at better rates and in smaller venues.
I do think the monopoly needs to be broken up, it I also think consumers need to be better. I swear, consumerism is such a problem in the US. They could literally write "Fuck You" on price tags and people would be like, well, fuck me I guess, as they buy shit they don't need.
And I'm not suggesting we shouldn't spoil ourselves, it's all good, but if you complain about concert tickets and then go and spend 350-500$ on shitty seats in a stadium that sits 100k people, you need to do better.
