Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn’t use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.
Capitalism is doing capitalism things, weird
Albums and singles make next to no money for the majority of musicians.
The only way to make money through music nowadays is touring and merchandise.
Yeah, poor Taylor swift :'(
I don’t think it’s the normal artist we are taking about here. We are talking about concerts going for a thousand bucks.
It’s a feature not a bug
