In April of 2024 my bill was 84.00 dollars with 4 people living in, this year my bill went to 192.00 and only me, no roommates and I travel for work. It’s kind of hard to understand what’s this ridiculous increase is even happening. The Fpl do not really maintain the power lines in certain big areas, so where is all the money going?
Ticketmaster/ Live Nation is profiting on the original sale and on a percentage of the resale. They openly inviting the resale of tickets at a higher price for their own profit. There is no cap on the price of resale tickets. It was illegal to scalp tickets at concerts and events and now we have openly accepted this as how the market is today. There needs to be a percentage cap on the price of the resale of a ticket based on the face value of the ticket. We also need to push for a flat fee amount capped on what Ticketmaster/Live Nation or other vendors can charge and profit from in the resale of tickets.
Concerts should not be once-a-year purchases. Live music should be accessible for all people! Please end the monopoly that Ticketmaster/Live Nation has on the concert industry. Let venues sell their own tickets that aren’t immediately scalped and re-sold on Ticketmaster.
Music is so impactful - it is the joy of people’s lives. Concerts bring so much positivity into peoples lives - please allow people to afford seeing live music again.
$100 added to two NHL tickets cannot be justified. Ticketmaster is also limiting the hours an arenas box office is open making it difficult to go directly to buy tickets and avoid the outrageous surcharge. Please expose the politicians that allow for Ticketmaster to rob us. If someone is willing to pay the charge does not legitimize Ticketmaster to continue to add a charge they can no way justify.
