We've got Rose Bowl Tavern that was bought by one of the bands *right before COVID hit.* They figured out contact-free and you could get beer and toilet paper.... and now they have a big tent and outdoor concerts *every day* weather permitting (took folks changing a law when another venue I'll never patronize again called them in for not clearing the parking lot from the tents *every night.*)

Simon π man ⚛️🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦 (enmodo@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 04-Jun-2024 06:49:08 JST Simon π man ⚛️🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦 @pluralistic the class action suit should be the biggest in history - quite apart from the higher ticket prices caused by the Tickmaster/LiveNation monopoly - they've directly skimmed of 20, 30, even 40% "convenience" and "service" fees from almost every concert ticket I've bought in the last 10 years. That's probably at least $1000 just for me, one person. In the US I'm sure the total has to be tens of billions if not hundreds.

I stopped going to concerts run by that system many years ago. I just don't care enough about the acts to subject myself to the abuse, I'd rather go to local venues and see less corporatized music. -
