Here I was just thinking to myself that I can’t imagine why it has taken so long. It’s not like this is a new problem in any way.

It wasn’t so much Taylor Swift, as it was a famously passionate fan base why couldn’t get tickets. If this was the 90’s, and Micheal Jackson’s die hards couldn’t get tickets to the Dangerous Tour, you best bet that people would be beating down lawmakers doors.

90’s kids… “more like 30”

Livenation was founded in the mid-late 90’s, but didn’t hold significant power in the live music industry until the mid-2000’s. Before that, a pricey ticket for a national act was anything over $25. When I started my career in live production, in 2010, many venues were still putting on local/national act shows for $5 - $20 a ticket. Since then, I’ve seen ticket prices for the same type of shows double, in non-LN venues, and triple or more in LN venues. Same thing for drink/concession prices. If you were a teen/young adult in the 90’s you likely had better access to affordable concerts than people these days.

True, but I’m mostly referring to this:
