I don't think anyone can organize a major concert in US without these scalpers leeching on tickets. Is there a comparable example of a band where tickets are $100- ? This is the machine we all rage about..US sucks and it has been setting bad example to the rest of the world..
Can’t rage against a machine if you’ve willingly become part of it
You lost me. I don't work for or have payed money to ticket master, if that's what you mean. Or maybe you mean generally, like going to work, concerts and so on.. Do you suggest everybody rolls over and dies? Are you calling for general strike, a revolution? Maybe elaborate.. I susspected 400+$ is a lie and did a quick search. Found this: https://www.alternativenation.net/rage-against-the-machine-unload-on-expensive-ticket-prices/ . It's about their reunion tour and that 90% of all tickets were $125. 10% of all tickets were charity tickets. It says if you payed 400$ then it was from a scalper. But you never attended their concert, did you?
