  1. There’s about 50 other companies they need to do this to as well. This is a generous proposition, compared to what I would do to Live Nation/Ticketmaster

  2. “customers paid an extra $1.72 per ticket” Really?!? Why does it feel like they’re gouging us for at least $50 extra per ticket for every show?? That seems way too low.
