How To Break Live Nation's Grip on the Music Industry in 5 Steps
Take control of your ticket-buying power and support fair competition
Step 1: Research the Concert Tour You're Interested In
Before buying tickets, research the concert tour to see if the venue is owned by Live Nation. Check the venue's website or look for online reviews to see if they mention a connection to Live Nation.
Step 2: Compare Prices Across Different Ticketing Platforms
Use online ticketing platforms like Ticketmaster or SeatGeek to compare prices across different venues. This can help you avoid overpaying for tickets and support fair competition.
Step 3: Support Independent Venues and Bookers
Look for independent venues and bookers that don't have ties to Live Nation. These smaller venues often offer a more authentic experience and support local artists.
Step 4: Demand Transparency from Your Local Government
Contact your local government representatives to demand transparency on the issue of venue ownership and ticket prices. This can help bring attention to the problem and push for changes.
Step 5: Share Your Story on Social Media
Use social media to share your experiences with Live Nation's monopolistic practices and support others who are speaking out. This can help raise awareness and build momentum for change.
