Live Nation Hearings

Forums:

They are getting roasted in the Senate hearings today. We will see if anything comes of it.

Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, underscored the bipartisanship on this issue — and the apparent bipartisan anger at Live Nation — by mock congratulating Berchtold: “You have brought together Republicans and Democrats in an absolutely unified cause.”

some senators daughter couldn't get swift tickets. that's what it takes?

where's my free ticketmaster tickets i'm owed?

^isnt that the general M.O. in today's self-serving world?

It still doesn't seem like "Congress" even understands what is going on here as they keep focusing on "the bots" instead of the 2009 TM/LN merger that never should have happened in the first place and how it all connects to bad news for ticket-buying consumers.

A couple of months ago my daughter called me in a rage, GenZsplaining the LN/TM issue. I told her it's been going on for years, and i know all about it.

She really couldn't comprehend that an old fuck like me would have a clue. "Um, how many concerts have I been to?"

I remember when "Select-A-Seat" started decades ago and you could actually - get this -  SELECT YOUR SEAT!
