sounds like a solution in search of a problem. the ticket selling platform is esy, there are dozens of people doing that, but ticketmaster has a contractual lock on virtually all big venues and all big acts. Pearl Jam tried to tour without them in the late 90s and were blackballed. It was a great gesture, but none of their fans got to see them


I think there's going to be a lot more of these sites popping up in the near future. Someone's got to take down that monster.
