The Problem with Ticketmaster: Solutions to Music Industry Corruption

The Problem with Ticketmaster Solutions to Music Industry Corruption I retrieve myself to be a buff of all types of music and I interchange up to(p) to stay involved with the music world. Music is such an integral commence of society in so many different aspects. Music defines condemnation periods, brings back childhood memories, educates, relaxes as well as inspires. Stop and say for a moment if the music stopped, what would the world be like? A sudden silence overcoming the world. More realistically, stop for a moment and call what it would be like if you could not gather your favorite band in concert. This is a scenario that is becoming more apparent. In upcoming news the disputation and roll band U2 has launched a world wide tour and they envision to come here to Tempe to play Sun Devil Stadium in the beginning weeks of May 97. The political group Rage Against The Machine allow also be opening for U2. I am a fan of both of these bands so I looked into getting tickets for the show. I have arrange some shocking results as far as tickets go as well as tickets for other bands. For the U2 shows it can cost up to $61.60 for whiz ticket. Thanks in part to eye-popping Ticketmaster teleph 1 service fees of $8.35 per ticket, a set of tickets for U2s May 31 show at parvenue Jerseys Giants Stadium cost a fan $246.40 for four tickets(Boehlert 25). As a freshman in college on a tight budget it is extremely difficult for myself to pay that very much money for one ticket with a $8.35 surcharge. I am certain(predicate) that many people can empathize with not wanting to see some of your favorite music at such a towering price. Why must the surcharges be so high? This is just one example of the manipulative business manner in which Ticketmaster operates.
