Goodbye Big Concerts

Well, it's been announced that Live Nation and Ticketmaster are merging, amidst a lot of speculation. What does this mean to all of us, you might ask. Well, for anyone who goes to concerts now, a 40 dollars concert ticket winds up costing you almost 60 if you buy it through ticketmaster. They have been ripping people off for years and have dominated the ticket industry. With the emerge of Live Nation, there was hope that they would rival this, but no such luck, as they are now merging to form one big, massive conglomerate of consumer rip-off. This is just another thing in the chain of greed sweeping our nation...

I have finally decided that I am not going to see anymore shows if I have to buy tickets through these greedy companies. If there are no sales at the box office, I will just do without and hope that other people feel the same. If too many people boycott, they will all lose money and be forced to rethink their ways. If not, I will at last know that I am not getting ripped off...shows have gotten ridiculously expensive as it is...

So, it is with sadness that I will not be witnessing Stevie Nicks twirling on any stages in the near future...
