Ticket Prices Are Disgusting
Description: Thank you Helix Sleep for sponsoring! Visit https://helixsleep.com/scottcramer to take advantage of their President's Day Sale exclusive partner offer and get 27% Off Sitewide!
Ticketmaster has been in hot water with artists and fans since before I was even born. They tack insane fees onto every ticket you purchase on their site, their business model incentivises bots to buy up loads of tickets and resell them to fans who will overpay, and they have seemingly monopolized the industry past the point of return. Fun! Let’s talk about it. Enjoy.
There were a lot of segments that I had to cut out of this video for the sake of time, and those are available on my Patreon! https://patreon.com/ScottsTOL
