If you guys would simply refuse to buy tickets to these events as long as Ticketmaster is the only game in town, I bet things would change rather quickly. Continuing to pay the price and complain ain't getting you anywhere.
This is sage advice that would work on any service provider, including cellphone companies and cable companies, the lack of governmental oversight not withstanding.
But as always, the problem is getting enough people to follow it to make a difference.
If I recall, there have been a couple of groups and events that have tried to do an end run around a ticket agency, but except for free concerts, that hasn't been successful.
You are, of course, right. This is just one more example of the way people would rather complain about something than work together toward a worthy goal. Oooops! Did I just forget this isn't the "other" side?!
