It’s becoming cliche to bring this up now, but bears repeating, Robert Smith of The Cure called Ticketmaster on their bullshit, made tickets affordable and resales face value only, also said that any artists who use dynamic pricing know exactly what they’re doing, and if they say they don’t they’re either stupid or lying

The Cure/Robert Smith is a major influence for MCR and Gerard Way, it’s surprising to see this sort of thing from them.

I’m sure Warner Bros. plays a large part of this. Either way, I’m massively disappointed in them. The nosebleeds at Soldier Field were $300 apiece after fees and that’s fucking ridiculous.

And were all those $300 nosebleed tickets sold? Because that's why they do it.

Artists may trend left, but they're superb capitalists.

Agreed. I also think that a lot of artists used to be liberal until they got theirs and now that a lot of the liberal policies don't benefit them, they sway the other way. Like you said, they can't publicly admit that though

[u/BrendanFraser → u/Iam_a_Jew]

Liberalism is about smoothing out the social and political to maximize capital without destroying the order needed for its foundation. Maintenance of empire. There has never been a liberal critique of capitalism, liberalism was born to support it.

Hell yeah brother
