Anti-Rec: LiveNation and Ticketmaster

Shows are impossible to go to, now. The entire Ticketmaster platform is filled with scalpers that TM choose to foster, rather than ensure that fans can see artists perform. (Yes, I'm salty because yet another performer's presale is on and tickets are "Verified Resale" for $500+ each.) I just want so badly for everyone to stop spending thousands of dollars on shit seats so the industry caves in on itself and makes way for progress. Concerts are not supposed to be this way, and we aren't getting there if people keep throwing a $2000 ticket on their credit card for 300-level seats. Don't be the frog boiling in the water, HOP OUT OF THE POT!

spending a little more money than you wanted to on concert tickets

i bought a floor ticket to see charli xcx and troye sivan and i’m kinda regretting it bc it was $200 but after i bought my ticket they went up to like $500 so in my eyes i saved $300 today

My hatred toward scalpers

Trying my best to revert back to being optimistic, but I will make an exception for ticket scalpers. I absolutely love live music, but have missed dozens of concerts that I could afford because of reselling prices. It's inevitable to want to see a show from a big artist now and again, but go to your local venue or bar for good live music too. You never know who's going to be there.

you do, in fact, owe people things

this idea of "you don't owe anyone anything" came about through the social media therapists that try to diagnose complete strangers with a multitude of issues and complexes. all it has done has made selfish people more selfish and divided us as a community. you do not owe everyone everything, but if you consider yourself part of a community, a society, you do owe everyone something. at a base level you owe people kindness, respect (as long as they haven't lost the right to it), and basic human decency. you owe your loved ones even more. stop being selfish and rude in the name of treating your so-called "people pleasing."
