I mean......they are scummy fuckers, but.........do you just NOT go to concerts?

Not by venues the size that are whored out to TM, is an option. Just because something is slammed at you 1m times by radio, advertisers, YouTube, etc., you can still choose the music you listen to and like.

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.

Plenty of other things to do in a city that size, then.
