this!! exactly this!!! ticketmaster is a huge fucking monopoly, bigger than taylor, that artists Have to comply with unless they want to be blocked from touring. they were not going to allow her or any other artist to do the boost system again bc it works against their business
also ticketmaster now owns a majority of US venues (if i'm understanding correctly) so even if she did use an independent seller she'd be blocked out of performing at almost every venue in america big enough for her demand bc it includes almost all stadiums (i think)
pls remember i'm by no means an expert on this, i'm just sharing what i'm also learning!! i understand everyone's frustrations with today and they're all valid. just think we should give it a minute before we pile on taylor for stuff we don't even know if she had control over 🫶🏻
@lovr_23 Agreed! Some people seem to not realize Taylor Swift can’t do the rep boost ticketing system without Tickermaster’s consent, and they didn’t want to do it again.
@lovr_23 Ok maybe she couldn't do the boost system again but she could at least opt out of dynamic pricing
@lovr_23 Can't swifties see what's happening... It's all #TicketmasterIsAscam fault... Stop dragging Taylor for this. I know it's very disheartening to not being able to see your favorite artist, but at least blame the right person. Asking her to apologize for something...
@lovr_23 it makes sense HOWEVER she can opt of out dynamic pricing. she chose not to. She can surely have ticketmaster cancel the reseller orders or do something. She has a voice and power.
