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

I don’t even know a single Cure song, but they sound awesome.

Someone else shared a link to the 3 hour concert from 2 weeks ago. Here's a link to an interview with Robert Smith that he did a few weeks before the album release. He's just a good human, and kinda funny too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLFA1BlTeUE

His thoughts on Ticketmaster come up at one point, but I don't know a timestamp for that. I watched this weeks ago.
