Reply to comment by mikevago 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

I feel like the problem has gotten so ridiculously out of hand that hopefully other artists jump on board. It just takes one or two artists to jump on board for everyone else to pile on.

Also maybe now with the internet, large groups of angry fans can have a bigger impact. Swifties will do anything for their girl lol
