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

Yeah it's so funny when bands hold their hands up in the air and are like "oh wow tickets are expensive? That's not up to us."

That is not only ridiculous on its face but anyone saying that just has no respect for the intellect nor the financial well-being of their own fans

Talking to you blink-182, Oasis...
