ok Live Nation actually does do great shows….and Ticketmaster gets on my damn nerves. I hate paying so much extra for a damn e-ticket. What’s fandango.com like? I understand they’re handling events like the new Notorious Movie coming out this friday….

live nation is clearchannel, and is every bit as if not more evil than ticketmaster.

Econ 101, yo. It’s called price discrimination. The tickets are $43, but they’ll give you a $13 discount if you drive to Bum-Fucking Cynwyd.

That they still do this isn’t so much evil as it is stupid. Why not just say, “tickets are $43! And we don’t add on service charges like the other places!”

I guess Pearl Jam might be happy about this. This is most likely a case of Live Nation seeing they can easily take over Ticketmaster’s domain for their own benefit. They will probably suck just as hard.

Meet the new boss…
