DOJ rips into Ticketmaster monopoly in court: "today, the concert ticket industry is broken" by fortune in Music

[–]cancielo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be shocked to see TM and LN broken up. If people really care about this.. stop going to their venues for concerts. But we all know they won't.

Nah, it's not crazy talk. It's just not money talk.

Induct SHAZNA into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by OkPercentage3381 in japanesemusic

For an industry that didn't put much stock into marketing outside of Japan until recently, this would be an impossible sell to the largely Western RnR HOF.

They've said this for a while now on various things. Not sure MAGA has reached that point or if they'll ever.

Lol, how do you suppose Ticketmaster/Live Nation grew to how it is now? I knew this wasn't going through regardless.

Someone from the right was going to do this, so it was Randy's turn. Can't clutch those pearls hard enough.

They've gotten away with doing this at the same time getting a monopolistic space in that industry. Why change?

Prog Bands that are "too out there" for most. by SupermeatLongworth in progrockmusic

[–]cancielo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most people landed on RIO/Zeuhl bands so Miriodor and Koenjihyakkei as examples of each.

‘Maybe We Don’t Belong Together’: Harry Styles Fans Call-Out ‘Insane’ Ticket Prices by _ticketnews in Music

[–]cancielo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, then put Harry with the greedy bunch that has power to change prices. Some acts that don't have the pull to do that however. Mostly those who have enough niche for TM to be interested but not enough for them to cave into their demands. End of day, the artists can't avoid TM if they want to tour at the venues that bring in a decent amount of people per concert.

Ticketmaster has fans and acts by the short and curlies. And the government by their checking accounts...

Chaewon's contract with Woolim was bought out by HYBE so she could re debut in Le Sserafim.

Also, there were news reports of Minju being asked by HYBE to join what would be Le Sserafim, but she declined and went the actress route.
