    I think this is great.

    What is really needed is the end of monopoly on the venues. As long as that is in place, this won’t do much for ticket prices.

      Even just removing dynamic pricing, prohibiting ticket resales from going above original price, and removing extra fees (for upgrades and resales) will solve most of the issues.

        I get it, but if they own the major venues in every town…they can still set their own prices.

        The ticket companies shouldn’t have ownership of the venue.

        Pearl Jam fought them for years but had to stop because they owned every stadium and large venue, and that was 30+ years ago when they were just one company.
