    It’s basically the Live Nation/TIcketmaster issue. They sell the tickets to the events at venues they own. Conflict of interest much?

      Live nation/ticketmaster is worse than that, if you try to open a venue without giving then a cut in some way they’ll blacklist you from the industry.

        Blacklist them from the… real estate market?

        Lol. How exactly does that work? It’s the performers that make venues worth going to, not the venues themselves or the people selling the tickets.
