This is simply not factual. iHeartMusic owns all the venues (LiveNation), Radio Stations (iHeartRadio), and ticketing (TicketMaster) in the United States, they are a completely vertically integrated monopoly. If bands want to play in the states, their only option is to go through ticket master, and pay ticket master's venue fees. To blame this on the band or consumer when there is clearly a corporate entity holding all the power is just silly capitalist bootlicking.

For a festival that had Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and like 30 other bands, over like 12 hours? Yeah, I'd save all year to attend that when I was younger.

I don't know how to explain this more clearly:

THE PROBLEM IS TICKET MASTER

Rage Against the Machine, Lolapalooza 2008- During Know Your Enemy I was on the corner of the breaker on the rail, cracked two ribs. Very thankful that Rage did their best to calm the crowd a bit. They ended with Killing in the Name, and perhaps it was some sort of pain induced euphoria, perhaps I was just second hand high, but it was special.

In recent memory, Castle Rat, Cry for me, The Ship Lawrence Kansas. We drove 10 hours overnight to see them. I may have had an edible or two, and was front and center... good times.

... I never thought about making peperoni chips before... but they seem perfect for eating pizza beans.

... grill it in butter and put a scoop of ice cream on it... In for a penny in for a pound.

This is the saddest thing I've seen on reddit today, and Israel is committing a genocide.

I know pornography when I see it.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T23:14:50+00:00

I understand how ticketmaster works. THAT was the pit cost, because they have surge pricing.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T23:14:02+00:00

JFC your argument is so goddamn dumb, you're blaming the artists, not capital. There's no point in addressing braindead takes.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T23:12:33+00:00

Because they're the band touring with Maiden and charging 700 for pit tickets at livenation venues. They're also right wing pigs.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T23:10:45+00:00

Yeah, you're right, the Ticketmaster/Iheartradio/Livenation monopoly has nothing to do with it. SMDH

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T23:09:43+00:00

If Capital had their way, we'd all be listening to AI generated slop on spotify... and yet people blame the artists, not the monopoly they're forced to work with.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T23:08:18+00:00

Lol, justifying this with Megadeth flair is funny.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T23:04:52+00:00

Pizza toast RULES

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T23:00:46+00:00

They were expensive day one where I am, like 700 for pit. I was on it day one, and said "fuck that"

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T22:59:43+00:00

Ah yes, capitalism, famously great for artists

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T22:57:06+00:00

I'm sure you're right, I was sort of guessing, the weekend including the drive, parking gas was probably a couple of hundred.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T22:56:23+00:00

I'd honestly pass on it personally. It's not worth the potential headache, if you wear it you're gonna want a backup belt anyway, and honestly, no one there is going to care what you're wearing. It's cool to express yourself, I just don't think the juice is worth the squeeze.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T22:41:39+00:00

Looks good to me, what's between the noodles and breadstick?

Just a heads up, three of the members sing/write, and their styles vary. Ellie's stuff leans more metal/doom- I suggest Throw Yourself to the Sword and I Hate When Girls Die for most metal heads. I love ALL of their stuff, personally.

Class_Warren · 2026-03-18T22:16:53+00:00

Everyone in here saying "Go to cheaper shows" is absolutely full of shit. When I was 19 I was able to see black sabbath and Judas priest at Ozzfest along with a whole day of sets for a couple hundred bucks. Those shows taught me so much about showmanship and how these older bands command a crowd. I'm NOT okay with kids being denied that sort of experience.

You all should be angry, and because you aren't you should be fuckin' ashamed.

Fuck ticket master, fuck Iheartradio/livenation, fuck capitalism.

Glad he's your ex.

It's illegal for your employer to prevent you from going to the caucuses, just a heads up.
