I know this is happening because of a combo of my browser (librewolf) and my extensions (uBlock and Privacy Badger), but really it’s because most larger concert halls in the USA and the ticket service they use online are owned by the most evil fucking corporation and I am fucking sick of it. I was going to buy tix for a local punk band’s show but now my choices are:
- I have to drive 30 minutes to buy tix in person, Monday-Friday
- or sell my soul to these assholes
Just venting, no suggestions needed.
Dude, I just stopped going altogether. It sucks, but I can’t deal with these fools anymore. And, no, I’m not suggesting you stop going. I’m actually not suggesting anything. All I’m saying is that I’ve had enough, so I’m done with all of those dead weights, and if that means I have to sneak into shows or watch recordings, so be it.
I hear you, I do. It’s just that I’ve supported local bands my whole life, at mostly small bars and clubs. This is a relatively new local band I really want to see before they take off on a world-wide tour and now AXS is making it hard. First world problems, I know. I just don’t want to take out my anger on the band, eh. They don’t control any of this.
No, I agree with you. I just wish these ticketing middle-companies didn’t exist.
