fuuuuuuuck that.

Fuck these ultra wealthy pop stars. They are part of the problem. There are millions of independent artists across hundreds of genres we can support instead.
And I know it's subjective to a large extent but 90% of pop is absolute garbage.
while Beyonce et al are part of the problem, the ticket monopoly giant capitalist machine sure ain't helping - and that affects even indie artists with a decent following.
True but I go to shows for bands all the time that don't fuck with ticket master and do it all DIY, never paid more than 20-30$ for a ticket.
Those monopolies suck but Beyonce doesn't need to be charging that much money for you to listen and not even be able to see it. It's a greedy cash grab and she looks disgusting doing it.
100%
It just absolutely sucks that Ticketmaster dominates mainstream organized concert going.
The problem isn't exactly the pop stars but live nation's monopoly which strangles every aspect of the live music industry. As a musician if you want to preform at almost any large venue you'll have to get in bed with live nation or be black listed. If you run venue you better join live nation's network and use ticket master or else you won't be able to book money making artists. And as a fan you better buy your price gouged tickets through ticket master or else you won't get to see anyone play.
