I sure hope it’s all of the above combined times a zillion.

Is it the kind of discomfort one feels when they need to use a bathroom but there is only one for a 10,000 person event? Or the kind of discomfort one feels when it’s a record heat wave but a bottle of water is $20 and despite advertising free water stations, there are none? Oh or maybe the discomfort in paying mystery fees that equal the price of the ticket?
Or maybe the kind of discomfort that only an illegitimate business model about to be exposed would evoke?

Sounds more like the discomfort of buying a ticket to a show for someone they think won’t be popular when they go on sale for $20 then having your tickets cancelled the week before the show when they blow up on YouTube and the show sells out in hours for over $200/ticket.

This wasn’t LN/TM, as far as I can find with a cursory look, but this also isn’t the story I remember reading from like 2021 on Reddit, but I can’t find that one right now and apparently it is not an uncommon thing.

Apparently the one I was remembering was Taylor Swift. They told the ticket holder that they had to pay more after having purchased the ticket then when the holder refused, they voided the ticket.
