Here in Germany there are some venues that sell their tickets through dice.fm which seems not to charge extreme fees. Is this something that’s also available where you folks are?

Live nation owns all the event locations, so not really. It’s really ridiculous. Back in the early 2000s or late 90’s you could get tickets for good bands at around $15-30. All day festivals would be around $20 and 3 day events were something like $100.

Can’t even see nickleback now for $100

    It’s a tax on bad taste.
