Touring has always been a boondoggle. Artists could make bank if they were selling out shows, but the baseline venue prices have skyrocketed out of reach for most fans. The producers, promoters, engineers, technicians, roadies, not to mention lodging, travel, and food, a lot of people expect to be paid before the artist makes a dime.
Ticketmaster and LiveNation (also Ticketmaster) expect to be paid most of all. The own so many venues it's incredible.
And the scalping sites.
They’re totally a monopoly but the government won’t do anything because they only hurt normal people.
Musk needs to start a ticketing agency so somebody rich has a stake and watch congress do something.
