I've been to concert venues that hold 30 max occupants still had to go through ticketmaster for $5 tickets, with $13.79 in fees.

They are EVERYWHERE.

Didn't mean to say venues have many options, TM needs to be broken up. Even non-profits and the like have had to sign the Ursula contract with TM as they dominate the industry so
