That’s how bands make most of their money in the streaming era and with ticketmaster raking in a big chunk of the ticket sales despite not providing much.

They could just play shows at venues not owned by Ticketmaster

That’s a super naive take.

Lmao why?

My buddy bought tickets to a ratm show. He had no one to go with so he invited me. We got there and were bombarded with Pepsi, lysol, and tons of other brand advertising projected on every wall of the massive stadium owned by a billionaire. We waiting for an hour while the advertisements wore our souls down to nothing

Then when the show finally starts it turns out most of the people there are complaining about how political the band has gotten.

Maybe when your ticket prices START at $150, you may not be the band of the people you thought you were.
