Ticket Prices Are Disgusting

Thank you Helix Sleep for sponsoring! Visit https://helixsleep.com/scottcramer to take advantage of their President's Day Sale exclusive partner offer and get 27% Off Sitewide! Ticketmaster has been in hot water with artists and fans since before I was even born. They tack insane fees onto every ticket you purchase on their site, their business model incentivises bots to buy up loads of tickets and resell them to fans who will overpay, and they have seemingly monopolized the industry past the point of return. Fun! Let’s talk about it. Enjoy. There were a lot of segments that I had to cut out of this video for the sake of time, and those are available on my Patreon! https://patreon.com/ScottsTOL Links to interviews and hearings mentioned: Ticketmaster CEO Interview (White Border) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65OFiESKEOQ 2023 Senate Hearing (Yellow Border) - https://www.youtube.com/live/MAriPhsozRA?si=-WzPKpNesvUa8tZX 2026 Senate Hearing (Blue Border) - https://www.youtube.com/live/TDpr8GOY0Ug?si=m3FgNFs7SPyLyDnO Lawrence Interview w/ Howie Mandel (Red Border) - https://youtu.be/bK8tfmj3-ok?si=-WUikIQtW7DiAviQ Jimmy Carr Clip (Pink Border) - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R7Q9Qo5egEo Pearl Jam Hearing (Orange Border) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8Uook5Cq0 Senator Klobuchar Interview (Grey Border) - https://youtu.be/iD9pDgeh-Yw?si=NatJMkLQ8UbSGTju Jon Bellion Closing Statement (Green Border) - https://youtu.be/nGNgOGQnEXc?si=_sg9wdDQzgRtN8Pw MERCH https://strugglrshop.com SECOND CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@ScottIsStruggling PODCAST https://www.youtube.com/@illRememberThisPod INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/ScottCramersLife TWITTER https://twitter.com/ScottsTOL BLUESKY https://bsky.app/profile/scottcramer.bsky.social 0:00 Harry Styles' New Tour 2:44 Sponsor Song 4:34 Ticketmaster Hates Your Guts 6:43 The Ticketmaster Disaster 14:51 Ticketmaster's Monopoly 20:42 Bots & Scalpers 25:23 Trouble For Artists 28:25 My Foolproof Solution
