Why the fuck hasn't anybody done this yet, at any point in the last 10-20 years?

Ticketmaster is the absolute textbook definition of an abusive monopoly in every way. They make it impossible to use anyone else, on either the fan or musician side, so that they can charge way way more than how much would be competitive. Hopefully the lawsuit takes 5 minutes "Your honor I move that they clearly have a monopoly and be sentenced to death" "Granted, fuck 'em, so ordered."
