    Even victims’ lives go on, though. And many things are not “necessary” but still we used to break up monopolies, because they are a societal plague, not a consumer choice problem. So again, you are blaming people for not solving a problem that they cannot possibility solve.

      Yeah, this ain’t food, or access to the Internet or some other utility. It’s concert tickets. And I agree they should step in to stop the monopoly, but at the same time consumers can exercise some modicum of restraint and not spend a fortune to go see shows. I’m not paying 500$ for tickets to see Blink 182, fuck that and fuck them for allowing it to happen. Cash grabs have become the norm for bands these days and I’m just not going to support that shit.
