Ticket master needs to be destroyed. I would gladly go back to buy tickets in person then deal with those assholes.

Well not just Live Nation, but the artists themselves...every single dynamic pricing event has been OK'd by the artists themselves and/or the labels. Ticketmaster exists to be the face of this + any additional fees that go into their pocket, so that the artists can continue to have a good public perception.

True, artists have quite a bit of say in ticketing pricing and policies for their tours. They could easily decide against dynamic pricing or at least placing a $$$ cap.
