Reply to comment by havereddit in ELI5: Everyone knows that Ticketmaster is the biggest scumbucket enterprise on the planet yet no band seems able to avoid their grasp. What's to stop a really major act (e.g. Taylor Swift) from performing in venues that are not controlled by Ticketmaster, or just setting up a parallel company? by havereddit

>University football stadiums

I saw the Stones at a university football stadium. Tickets by Ticketmaster. I saw McCartney at a different university football stadium. Tickets by Ticketmaster. I saw Roger Waters at a college basketball arena. Tickets by Ticketmaster.
