Ticketmaster and BASS were allowed both by our state legislature, and National legislature, to blatantly violate anti-trust law, even after it had been expressly called to their attention.. . the two firms also donated donated tons of money to legislators .. so, in CA, I guess you can blame it on Dems, more so, because they outnumber Reps. but he fact is ... both are ignoring the law, for personal gain. I'll try to find a link to the article ...<br />maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-35529195953923889852014-06-27T11:38:36.152-07:002014-06-27T11:38:36.152-07:00Mike, that's awesome.Mike, that's awesome.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1405852935884671552014-06-27T11:36:32.497-07:002014-06-27T11:36:32.497-07:00Somehow I think that Presidents Reagan and Bush an...Somehow I think that Presidents Reagan and Bush and Bush and Governors Wilson and Deukmajian and Schwarzenegger had other things to do than to collude with Ticketmaster.<br /><br />I'm with Bill Buckley on this one: I vote for the most conservative candidate *who has a chance of winning*. You can choose to believe that's Gary Johnson or whoever, but he's never won, has he?Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-2217204781186850222014-06-27T04:39:17.850-07:002014-06-27T04:39:17.850-07:00I got the same notice.

Pearl Jam famously contested this in 1993, testifying before Congress, and attempting a very short lived tour where they tried to issue their own tickets ... with a 10% service charge, the same fee that was imposed when I was in high school -- because back then, their was competition. You could by from Ticketron (now Ticketmaster) or from BASS. But ... Ticketmaster has exclusive rights with all the major venues (illegal) so the tour had to find weird places to play, and it didn't pan pout. And Congress, bot Dxs and Rs, don't care, because Ticketmaster pays them to turn a blind eye. So, keep voting for brand R or brand B ... but don't complain when they choose money over the right thing. Anyone who buys tickets should be outraged. I know I am, but ... you guys keep voting for the same people. Darren, I hate to say it ... but your complaining about this is the direct result of your vote.maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-8766129201896595722014-06-27T00:49:10.725-07:002014-06-27T00:49:10.725-07:00"silverware usage fees"
