Thankfully I haven’t had that much exposure to them, as they don’t have a monopoly in Austria. However, my experience with Bruce Springsteen last year wasn’t great: the usual stuff, the website crashing, bots immediately purchasing tickets, ticket prices jumping immediately, absurd fees. Now that Oasis have gotten into bed with them, if they eventually play Austria I will probably listen from my house, which is very close to the main concert stadium. Ticketmaster: a bunch of CU next Tuesdays.
@Safwaan not really, they’re a business with a UA-cam channel, not a UA-cam channel with a business. Plus, not to take away from a good doc, it’s not exactly hard either
As a Costa Rican team who grew up with Chespirito- we always want to reference El Chavo but rarely get to (in part for fear of a US/international audience not getting it). Glad we've been wrong all along. Caya

I have severely curtailed my concert going and will continue to do so until we go back to the good old days. You bought a paper ticket to a seat that was yours and you owned at a fixed price. Lately every seat has a different price, and it goes up and down like the stock market, and I won't play that game.
I am with you. No artist, even may favorite is worth the ridiculous prices being asked now. Those buying the tickets and complaining about them crack me up……they are the problem.
Wow! I know this took an enormous amount of work to bring this information to light. Job well done. This is the reason I’m on board with your channel. Thanks again.
People forget about the Pearl Jam thing! I was super young when that happened but remember it being brought up again when Ticketmaster acquired Live Nation. That acquisition should have never happened but they allowed it.
Very well done video!! I work in an independent music venue in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is crazy how much companies such as live nation and ticket master affect the market for smaller, local venues. I would encourage everyone to support their local venues, and even local artists. Not a lot of the portion of ticket sales go to the venue at all, but it supports the local market by a lot. Also, there are a lot of amazing local venues all over the world that in my experience totally beats the chaos of stadium shows. Great video!!
It’s been a part of music history at this point in a way… Artists have never been given their fair share. First concert monopolies, then internet leaked music for free in 2000s and then Spotify and other streaming services are there to take a big chunk out from artist’s pockets further fed by Tiktok like algorithms which promote catchy easily washed up music to churn out profits and real art has no place. It has always been sad for the artists :(
The Tiktok thing is particularly jarring because with everything being owned and accessed by arguably the most powerful and corrupt government on Earth, all kinds of things can happen. My assumption is that China will utilize this data by having an advanced AI program produce music that mirrors what's most commonly approved of, and eventually, we might literally see a chunk of music being released all created through AI, hurting artists on literally an existential scale. Obviously, any government could do that, I'm just saying China has what it needs right now to do that.
@@Truest-Repairman they do that already in America 😂. There's literal AI that make beats and right songs. A record company just got pushback for signing the first AI rapper. So worried about China and it's already happening in your backyard 😂
@@brandonburns5365 you're missing the point. I could say, I'm worried about Tiktok and out data being stolen, and you could say, you should be worried about Meta, it's already stealing your data in your backyard, but it's different when it's China. We are all about money, and many of us are corrupt and EVERY government is corrupt, but no one comes even close to being both as evil and as powerful as China. China both wants to literally control the world and actually had the power to, and clearly has the will to. The U.S. just wants to keep everything the way it is, so passively ruining lives through promoting countries like China by being their biggest customer, but China actually has plans to slowly conquer everything and everyone, and are well into the process, this just being another piece of the puzzle to be concerned about.
It might be the case that congress could do something about this, but for so many reasons, I don't think they will. I would be very surprised to learn that there isn't a large monetary incentive motivating congress NOT to address this issue.
I had someone argue selling duplicates could happen to anyone. Like no it can't ticket master has map of every seat and know exactly how many tickets it can sell.
1:49 Ticket overbooking?! I'll be damned if I pay my hard earn money on a seat and when I get there someone else is already in MY chair. I'll be so heartbroken.
I don't know how that crap is legal in concerts and airplanes. You're basically selling a product that you don't have and the customer is the one getting punished.
The main issue is that the artists / venue doesnt offer any alternative. So we are stuck on buying from ticketmaster and their fees because there is no other way to get access ecen though other ticketing platforms exist. So there should be like an open org for tickets to which different venues could grab and offer the ticket
First of all, great video. After working most of my career in a business that requires the government to enforce the laws that are already on the books, it is common knowledge that the only way to get the Politian's to enforce those laws is to show up with a suitcase full of cash. Then a year or so later the other side shows up with their suitcase and you go through it all again. It doesn't matter if it's democrat or republican. They are not "for the people".
That's also how it is for my country and all other countries around the world. Lobbying is basically legal bribery. Customers have zero power and leverage when companies can legally bribe politicians with millions of dollars.
Go to local venues and support local artists! I believe that Is the best way to enjoy live music without supporting the monopoly that ticket master has
EXACTLY!! Thank you for explaining it so well! That’s what happens, and what happened in this case, they Ticketmaster kept the tickets is behind the selling … this MUST STOP
I've been to a couple of concerts. Few, but I thoroughly enjoyed each of them. My son won't even have a chance to see an up and coming band at this rate
I had no idea it was THAT bad these days! I knew in the 2000s it was awful! I refuse to pay more than $30 for a concert ticket. Back in the 2000s it was $20, and that’s for an act i really want to see and after all fees. I know i can go see a local band that will be more intimate and enjoyable for $10-20 and not give ticketbastard a dime live nation is an awful and greedy company that needs breaking up when it was clear channel. They own all major venues, radio stations, and ticketing companies. It’s a monopoly and it is illegal. It’s become ‘too big to fail’ territory for the music industry. We need to get back to community sized things and the original realm of bands doing the work! I know some folks who are doing some amazing work. Also artists can make good $ doing live streams. Not a dime to live nation or other greedy peeps.
This seems like a pretty disruptable model. Why not a tiered raffle system, where the distribution of tickets would be weighted toward the higher cost brackets, but ultimately controlled by the content creator. At the time of promise to purchase, only the promiser would be able to go to the concert, their ID being confirmed before the raffle. The highest tier price might be undetermined, but guaranteed a ticket when the bidding is closed. This entire system would be automated. For example, if the content creator wanted 3 tiers, with 20%, 60%, 20% distribution, a promiser could put a maximum bid for a tier 3 ticket, before defaulting to tier 2. Tier 2 would be significantly more than tier 1 to make the odds of successful drawing more likely for that group, losers at tier 2 would fall to the large group of Tier 1. Tier 1 might be very inexpensive tickets for folks who are casual fans or who don't have much disposable income. Let's say the content creator wants tier 2 to be 5x the cost of Tier 1. In this example, let's say there were 10000 seats, and the stake holders want $120 average per. $1.2M for the event. It's Louis CK selling out the Kool Haus in Toronto. Then say there are a massive 100,000 interested parties, but only 12000 willing to pay for tier 2, and 5000 more entering the bid war for tier 3. The 2000 tier 3 seats might sus out at $330 each, it's high, but voluntary and minimized, with the remaining 3000 losers falling to tier 2. We've already got $660,000 from the bid war. We need to get the remaining 540k from the remaining 7000 seats with Tier 2 costing 5x Tier 1. Solving, we get 5000 tier 2 seats costing $100 for 15000 entries and then 2000 tier 1 seats at only $20. The odds at the bottom would only be 2000/92000 or ~2% From the promiser's perspective, they commit to pay $20 to have a 2% chance at tier 1, and also enter to pay $100 at 33.3% chance in Tier 2, and additionally mark down that they are willing to pay up to $250 for the guaranteed spot in tier 3, which they would not make in this case. They still have a 35% chance of getting in which is decent considering it's 10000 seats for 100,000 people and their price is reasonable. The seating would be distributed with better seating to the highest paying, but there would be an after close swapping mechanism where purchasers could make deals and pay each other to swap seats around up until the day before the event. Someone might well win a tier 1 seat and get reimbursed further to allow someone to sit with their friends.
Great video! What I don't understand is this: Taylor Swift already fought two huge companies like apple or Spotify and she was able to make a difference. Why is she not fighting like that now? I actually think right now she's the only artist with the power to at least speak up.
I have noticed that your videos have disappeared from recommended vids. I had to search for the channel. It's really sad that they are really doing this to you
I just don't understand how they can be part of the secondary market. Doesn't that mean they "resale" their own tickets? Doesn't that mean they don't get cash from the primary market for those tickets? I just really don't understand how this works.
i like when concerts were pay-to-enter and the randomness of the seating and if you pay higher you get nearer to the stage but now you pay an uncertain amount for a normal ticket which you use to pay for a high ticket and thats all for ticketmaster and their thorough failed system
No matter the political side, Monopolies are good for politicians because they donate for both sides to win. No matter who actually wins, they owe big favors to these conglomerates and firms. It's good for the politicians, not for you. They pay for the system to keep moving forward, not you.
Don’t pay it and it will change! Yet people can’t help but do it. As for artists not playing or playing for too little is also a hard position to be in but the choice is up to them. Well not really if they are on a contract with a record label.
but we are missing a point .....we also have a monopoly of artists too.... if we give enough attention to other ARTS or artists as well then we avoid such exploitation by platform.
MasterWorks read the T&C you do not own any shares in the artwork itself (At All!) and they make no promise if the artwork they sell that you will get a payout, What you are doing is paying a private company to buy/collect artwork on their own behalf it's basically a Kickstarter/Indigogo System (You fund their project aka a donation not a shareholder!) but with artwork rather than tech etc do they pay out if artwork is sold most of the time but they have no legal obligation to do so unlike with Stocks or Bonds!
A monopoly exists for as long as people don't have the balls to refuse buying from them. While I am angry with Ticketmaster, the other problem is, people enabling ticket master.
TLDR; for as long as people buy from Ticketmaster, things won't change, to force through a change, people would have to stop anything relating to Ticketmaster, until artists can utilize alternatives, or the void creates an alternative. But people are too weak minded to say no. So they enable the abuser (loosely speaking) and then act shocked when the abuser doesn't change, because they don't see a reason to change. TLDR;TLDR: people dumb, get smart, stop supporting shitty companies, so that other companies could take their place, and probably treat you better by trying to win over the customer.
Talking about the shady practices of ticketmaster while promoting a sponsor that is shady in itself? Please do some research into your sponsors guys...
I agree and disagree. I would say by both. Also, who's to say Ticketmaster won't just acquire the company that manages this technology? I'm guessing those plans are already in the works.
Welcome to the music industry. Been within it's systems for 14 years. Won awards and met some heroes. Worked with Grammy and Juno winners. Meetings at city hall. You get it.... anyways... It's one giant monopoly with steel doors locked from the inside. The only hope is decentralisation. Music is decently essential within everyday lives. People will seek it out. Major labels and companies will continue to dominate -- unless... the carpet is swept from under their feet. Look to Napster and why people ethically started stealing from the industry. Like anything, yes there were impacts to labels but those who took the blunt force ... was the little guy ... the independents. Labels hold monopolies over Spotify, taking tremendous revenue (including Apple Store!) leaving artists without any revenue, now that live show CD sales are historical commodities. The point of all this being the big guns with money will always find ways to dominate, unless people stand up and start investing in artists. This won't happen if it's difficult as life sucks too much for people to care (cough .. environment .. cough). So a simplified decentralization is the only solution to eradicate the monopolies which have caused strangleholds onto artists, causing immense challenge in their lives to merely survive, working multiple jobs, struggling to pay the bills ... and even the successful (Canadian) artists .. our CEOs lol .. many can barely afford rent. We turn the other way because music is unimportant compared to other National and international affairs. Which I understand. I'm just stating what is. Don't believe me? Ask ChatGPT. I have a log into this very conversation lol.
Late X here. First of all you can't compare a tremendous shift in work dynamics between boomers and X. That's when computers came in and everything changed. But I can say as someone that worked with and employed many millennials and zoomers is that zoomers are more relaxed, prone to taking a piss, giving ridiculous excuses for being unable to work (I can't imagine telling any of these to any of my ex bosses- boomers or Xes), they also more often simply gave up before finishing the work... There is one more thing specific for X gen and that's the so called "helicopter parenting" that affected Zs.
There are already a handful of competitors, but LiveNation owns such a majority of major North American venues (this is also happening in Canada), and these venues will only use Ticketmaster, which makes it difficult or impossible for performers to entirely avoid Ticketmaster on their tours, even if they want to
I remeber during the BTS World tour tickest were being resold at 50,000 dollars it was just was nothing anyone could about that but complain and tickets are normally 50-150 dollars it was horrifying
Swifties fueled the fire more so than anyone. You Swifties paid the outrageous prices for Taylor Swift. NO artist is worth $1000+ per ticket, hell no artist is truly worth more than $100 per ticket.
in all seriousness, the solution is NFT's. Also, pretty easy to prevent scalpers or resale of tickets by embedding the ticket holders name into the ticket code, and must provide ID at entry
Bro add a bit of comedic pop culture references..I think that would get thr algorithm to sway towards the channel, and much more viewers to connect with the channel. There's great value, production and delivery, but from another point of view, it seems like a news channel (which most contemporary people don't have the attention span or interest/comprehension for). I think if you add a more 'Gen Z' friendly vibe (comedic pop culture references), then much more people would feel its relatable or relevant to their lives. I'm not saying anything negative, but just a quick summary of my observations of contemporary society (2017-present)...we've been heading towards a singularity, because of social media, which means people are becoming a part of the global (globalism) hivemind, due to the echo chambers, and social networks and media platforms. Would be too much for me to put on here, and I don't think you'd want to read that much unsolicited advice anyway, lol. Take care dude. Love what you're doing over there. Subscribed to you, on 6 different accounts, lol. ✊✊🤝
Concerts are not incredible experiences. Hanging out with friends is better and guess what? It's free. You struggle with Ticketmaster because you want to. I don't want to, so I don't. Easy.
Which was the last concert that Ticketmaster ruined for you? 😢
I haven't been to a show in years because of them. Indie artists only. AXS is just as bad tbh
Thankfully I haven’t had that much exposure to them, as they don’t have a monopoly in Austria. However, my experience with Bruce Springsteen last year wasn’t great: the usual stuff, the website crashing, bots immediately purchasing tickets, ticket prices jumping immediately, absurd fees.

As a Brazilian, any El Chavo del Ocho(Chaves) reference is always perfectly placed even if the editor probably doesn't know much about the series

The prices have tripled from a few years ago and sometimes you can't even choose a seat anymore. Some randomized algorithm does it for you.

The algorithm is another monopoly.
great jobs guys

Don’t pay it and it will change! Yet people can’t help but do it. As for artists not playing or playing for too little is also a hard position to be in but the choice is up to them. Well not really if they are on a contract with a record label.
Only if enough people don't pay if only you don't pay only you are the one missing out
but we are missing a point .....we also have a monopoly of artists too.... if we give enough attention to other ARTS or artists as well then we avoid such exploitation by platform.

MasterWorks read the T&C you do not own any shares in the artwork itself (At All!) and they make no promise if the artwork they sell that you will get a payout, What you are doing is paying a private company to buy/collect artwork on their own behalf it's basically a Kickstarter/Indigogo System (You fund their project aka a donation not a shareholder!) but with artwork rather than tech etc do they pay out if artwork is sold most of the time but they have no legal obligation to do so unlike with Stocks or Bonds!
dynamic pricing? rip kpop fans. Standing tickets cost 200+ euros...
We need a ticketing system for the small guys
A monopoly exists for as long as people don't have the balls to refuse buying from them. While I am angry with Ticketmaster, the other problem is, people enabling ticket master.
TLDR; for as long as people buy from Ticketmaster, things won't change, to force through a change, people would have to stop anything relating to Ticketmaster, until artists can utilize alternatives, or the void creates an alternative. But people are too weak minded to say no.
So they enable the abuser (loosely speaking) and then act shocked when the abuser doesn't change, because they don't see a reason to change.
TLDR;TLDR: people dumb, get smart, stop supporting shitty companies, so that other companies could take their place, and probably treat you better by trying to win over the customer.
A saas company selling out to a psido scam company (masterworks).
Only one way is possible. No one should use ticketmaster for a long time to have some effect
Talking about the shady practices of ticketmaster while promoting a sponsor that is shady in itself? Please do some research into your sponsors guys...
The real issue here is unity and communication between people - a conscious community. Monopolies are just a symptom
Sounds like the market is ripe for competition.
Live music will get destroyed but it won't be by Ticketmaster, it'll be by AI. See the MusicLM paper Google just published today.
I agree and disagree. I would say by both. Also, who's to say Ticketmaster won't just acquire the company that manages this technology? I'm guessing those plans are already in the works.
@@Truest-Repairman Ticketmaster is small potatoes, Google owns the model. If anything Tickermaster is in danger
@@geepytee perhaps, but the point I made still stands, it's just a different giant grinding our bones to make their bread.
STOP BUYYING TICKETS until there is a change!
There many never be a change
Really loving EU life rn 👀
Music is supposed to be awesome
Welcome to the music industry. Been within it's systems for 14 years. Won awards and met some heroes. Worked with Grammy and Juno winners. Meetings at city hall. You get it.... anyways... It's one giant monopoly with steel doors locked from the inside. The only hope is decentralisation. Music is decently essential within everyday lives. People will seek it out. Major labels and companies will continue to dominate -- unless... the carpet is swept from under their feet. Look to Napster and why people ethically started stealing from the industry. Like anything, yes there were impacts to labels but those who took the blunt force ... was the little guy ... the independents. Labels hold monopolies over Spotify, taking tremendous revenue (including Apple Store!) leaving artists without any revenue, now that live show CD sales are historical commodities. The point of all this being the big guns with money will always find ways to dominate, unless people stand up and start investing in artists. This won't happen if it's difficult as life sucks too much for people to care (cough .. environment .. cough). So a simplified decentralization is the only solution to eradicate the monopolies which have caused strangleholds onto artists, causing immense challenge in their lives to merely survive, working multiple jobs, struggling to pay the bills ... and even the successful (Canadian) artists .. our CEOs lol .. many can barely afford rent. We turn the other way because music is unimportant compared to other National and international affairs. Which I understand. I'm just stating what is. Don't believe me? Ask ChatGPT. I have a log into this very conversation lol.
Great Video. Have been a follower for quite some time now. Not understanding why your channel doesnt get pushed by the almighty algorithm 🤔
Late X here. First of all you can't compare a tremendous shift in work dynamics between boomers and X. That's when computers came in and everything changed. But I can say as someone that worked with and employed many millennials and zoomers is that zoomers are more relaxed, prone to taking a piss, giving ridiculous excuses for being unable to work (I can't imagine telling any of these to any of my ex bosses- boomers or Xes), they also more often simply gave up before finishing the work...
There is one more thing specific for X gen and that's the so called "helicopter parenting" that affected Zs.
My generation is like this because we were always told you shouldn't live to work or work to live you should just live
Fans just stop going to event make by them. Boycott them. Simple.
When in the last few decades has there been a successful large scale boycott?
Ticketmaster will destroy themselves
I think bookmyshow should go global
There are already a handful of competitors, but LiveNation owns such a majority of major North American venues (this is also happening in Canada), and these venues will only use Ticketmaster, which makes it difficult or impossible for performers to entirely avoid Ticketmaster on their tours, even if they want to
Brown Johnny Harris 😂
The Arena providers and Record companies are held hostage if Ticket Master does not get their way. Being Black Banned is the threat.
Shut up and give me your Graphics/Video Editing Team!
Yes
That's why Boletomovil exists. We are backed by Ycombinator.

I remeber during the BTS World tour tickest were being resold at 50,000 dollars it was just was nothing anyone could about that but complain and tickets are normally 50-150 dollars it was horrifying
No customers, no shows. I stopped, if you do we win back. Or make shows free!
Swifties fueled the fire more so than anyone. You Swifties paid the outrageous prices for Taylor Swift. NO artist is worth $1000+ per ticket, hell no artist is truly worth more than $100 per ticket.
i like how he explains with detail
in all seriousness, the solution is NFT's. Also, pretty easy to prevent scalpers or resale of tickets by embedding the ticket holders name into the ticket code, and must provide ID at entry
If all artists stop playing as protest and put pressure on the govervement, it could be fixed
30 minutes is not to long but also thank you for not talking about sports 😂
Bro add a bit of comedic pop culture references..I think that would get thr algorithm to sway towards the channel, and much more viewers to connect with the channel.
There's great value, production and delivery, but from another point of view, it seems like a news channel (which most contemporary people don't have the attention span or interest/comprehension for).
I think if you add a more 'Gen Z' friendly vibe (comedic pop culture references), then much more people would feel its relatable or relevant to their lives.
I'm not saying anything negative, but just a quick summary of my observations of contemporary society (2017-present)...we've been heading towards a singularity, because of social media, which means people are becoming a part of the global (globalism) hivemind, due to the echo chambers, and social networks and media platforms.
Would be too much for me to put on here, and I don't think you'd want to read that much unsolicited advice anyway, lol.
Take care dude. Love what you're doing over there. Subscribed to you, on 6 different accounts, lol.
✊✊🤝
Oh man of course this started with the military 😂
Ticktron!!!
well they’re not actually a monopoly. but let’s say they were. your piece says monopoly’s are bad. why?
Concerts are not incredible experiences. Hanging out with friends is better and guess what? It's free. You struggle with Ticketmaster because you want to. I don't want to, so I don't. Easy.
wow a gringo thinks live music started 50 years ago...
He never said that
No I don't believe them.
