Ticketmaster has been in hot water with artists and fans since before I was even born. They tack insane fees onto every ticket you purchase on their site, their business model incentivises bots to buy up loads of tickets and resell them to fans who will overpay, and they have seemingly monopolized the industry past the point of return. Fun! Let’s talk about it. Enjoy. There were a lot of segments that I had to cut out of this video for the sake of time, and those are available on my Patreon!   / scottstol   Links to interviews and hearings mentioned: Ticketmaster CEO Interview (White Border) -    • Shaping the Future of Live Events with Liv...   2023 Senate Hearing (Yellow Border) - https://www.youtube.com/live/MAriPhso... 2026 Senate Hearing (Blue Border) - https://www.youtube.com/live/TDpr8GOY...
