how about we set our plans on more realistic goals like getting a job that pays well?

I’m not the government and neither are you, voters don’t prioritise this issue so suggesting we just pop on down and break up the ticket selling monopoly is essentially meaningless

You must be trolling.

Many artists have issues with the ticketing services and recognize there is a predatory monopoly. Even Taylor Swift has a problem with it.

And there are no normal jobs that pay enough to afford a regular music concert ticket at over 500$. Heck, I make 6 figures and couldn't afford that with the current cost of living.

  How many music concerts are you going to that are over $500?
  
  Do you exclusively go to Taylor Swift VIP section only?

    I was spot on then? You are going to popular music acts which can charge high prices
