Enabled by the monopoly of Ticketmaster, hot artists like Kendrick Lamar are now following Taylor Swift’s lead by selling out massive stadium venues with standard prices over $400 for nosebleeds and $1000 for anything within 200 feet of the stage.

It’s disgusting out of control greed and capitalism.

This new trend will kill off thousands of artists by consuming concert budgets that would otherwise be used across 5-6 shows.

Want an example?

For $450, you can buy a (nosebleed) ticket for a 3 hour, 2 artist show or a 3-day festival pass for 50+ artists.

Support your smaller artists. Reject these mega concerts with your wallet.
